Is this the dreamer case that I heard about? It's just so wrong.

I would imagine it is. At least I hope there isn't more than one case of a person who came here as a child, got an education and a degree, passed the background check and gave back to the community as a teacher being deported.

You will notice that CNN doesn't actually print the letter, just makes you watch a video summary of said letter.

Here is the letter:
Uncommon Sense was a Common Vice

Those with knowledge of the United States Marine Corps will recognize the irony of this title. I wish its words were not true, but as I write this, I believe they are.

Currently, there is an effort to cull a significant number of career Special Agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This is an unthinkable action that will gravely undermine the security of the nation well beyond what many of our citizens are aware. For those seeking to raise their awareness, I offer this vignette, free of political bias or moral judgment. It is not about any one person, but an amalgamation of multiple FBI Special Agents.

I am the coach of your child’s soccer team. I sit next to you on occasion in religious devotion. I am a member of the PTA. With friends, you celebrated my birthday. I collected your mail and took out your trash while you were away from home. I played a round of golf with you. I am a veteran. I am the average neighbor in your community. This is who you see and know. However, there is a part of my life that is a mystery to you, and prompts a natural curiosity about my profession.

This is the quiet side of me that you do not know: I orchestrated a clandestine operation to secure the release of an allied soldier held captive by the Taliban. I prevented an ISIS terrorist from boarding a commercial aircraft. I spent 3 months listening to phone intercepts in real time to gather evidence needed to dismantle a violent drug gang. I recruited a source to provide critical intelligence on Russian military activities in Africa. I rescued a citizen being tortured to near death by members of an Outlaw Motorcycle Gang. I interceded and stopped a juvenile planning to conduct a school shooting. I spent multiple years monitoring the activities of deep cover foreign intelligence officers, leading to their arrest and deportation. I endured extensive hardship to infiltrate a global child trafficking organization. I have been shot in the line of duty.

Something else about me, I was assigned to investigate a potential crime. Like all previous cases I have investigated, this one met every legal standard of predication and procedure. Without bias, I upheld my oath to this country and the Constitution and collected the facts. I collected the facts in a manner to neither prove innocence nor guilt, but to arrive at resolution.

I am now sitting in my home, listening to my children play and laugh in the backyard, oblivious to the prospect that their father may be fired in a few days. Fired for conducting a legally authorized investigation. Fired for doing the job that he was hired to do. I have to wonder, when I am gone, who will do the quiet work that is behind the facade of your average neighbor?

We know better at this point @forty_three . The fact that this person is a successful educator is a BONUS to this story of deportation, according to the slavering, immigrant-hating, 21st century version of the brown shirts.

I think we know who this is.

I'm not sure I've seen a softer looking guy talking shit to be honest. Even sober he looks a stiff breeze would knock him over. That's kind of what's most troubling to me about this; that these Charmin soft, button-down, fuckheads feel safe to spout this bullshit is a sign of the horrible political climate we're all living in these days.

I'm by no means a child of the streets but when I was that kid's age, if he said that shit where I was hanging out he would have gotten his head kicked in.

Nimrod was 16-7 years old with a tech internship, put in a back door, leaked data and got fired and bragged about it in a discord server. It's like Musk only hired 4Chan edgelords.




Also, second one exposed by the press. If we are relying on the media to save us...

There's plenty of people who don't believe white privilege is a thing in society. The video posted by @thedddd above is a first rate example of a person showcasing their white privilege.

As Trump pushes for ceasefire talks, Ukraine sees Kursk as a potential bargaining chip

It’s been six months since Ukraine launched its surprise incursion into Russia’s Kursk region and its forces are still in control of a big chunk of the ceased territory – and as calls for peace negotiations grow louder, Kyiv is doubling down on the efforts to hold onto it.

NATO is actually discussing deploying troops to Greenland due to Trump's constant rhetoric - At this point, China has to be sitting back and having a really good chuckle.

Protestors with Nazi flags stop traffic on I-75 overpass

The group had their faces covered.

local12.com

So some Nazi cosplay group took over an overpass in Cincy today. A group of counter-protesters led by by some black teens in the neighborhood made it an unhappy occurrence for them. They fled. So fast that one of them left their car behind:

Shocking that was their choice of vehicle.

The teens posted videos of themselves burning their flags afterward.



Kinda shocked the car isn't burned, tbh

Shuttering of USAID could mean the end of millions in income for Midwest farm operations

Frozen by Elon Musk’s DOGE personnel, the USAID program purchased $70 million in commodities in 2024 from Minnesota vendors.

www.startribune.com

Part of the goal here is to buy up the farmland for themselves.
