Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

THE DEPARTMENT OF Homeland Security claimed four times within 48 hours that it had “no documents” in response to records requests from the Freedom of the Press Foundation late last year. These brush-offs raise serious questions about whether the agency is saving its documents anymore, much less creating them in the first place.

Each of our Freedom of Information Act requests was for records likely to exist, and any single “no records” response would have been suspicious. But four in rapid succession is enough to cast doubt on Homeland Security’s record-keeping practices and its compliance with the Freedom of Information Act.

These are the records we asked for and DHS claims it simply doesn’t have.

-All emails sent or received by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem containing the terms “CNN” and “ICEBlock”

-The complete archive of Noem’s Truth Social direct messages for her official account, @SecNoem

-All body camera footage from ICE captured as part of Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago

-The request the Secret Service made to the Army Corps of Engineers to raise the water level of an Ohio river to ensure JD Vance had a nice kayaking trip

They don't have body cams...

That's why the recent video of Jonathon Ross murdering someone was shot with a cellphone in his left hand while his gun was in his right.

He was consciously focused on getting video because he felt he had put himself in a position to justify the shooting.

But they don't have body cams rolling the whole time because it would catch all the completely unjustifiable shit they do.

Quick edit:

This gives the justifiable step of subpoenaing all personal phone records and content of every ICE agent for evidence of abuse of force...

Our politicians won't do it yet, but it's something to keep in mind for after midterms.

ICE agents won't delete the worst shit, some idiot will keep it saved. So even a year from now it's worth doing.

Or was he recording because he was told he needs to kill someone and be sure to record it. It's weird that he was recording anything, like does ICE usually record their interactions? What reason prompted his recording?

So they can brag to their bosses and friends.

Just a guess tho.
