Here’s a video of ICE agents in Arkansas beating up an unarmed U.S. citizen. Here’s a video of ICE agents arresting two U.S. citizens in a Target. Here’s a story about a similar arrest.

Here’s a video of ICE agents arresting an American citizen and punching him repeatedly. Here’s a video of ICE agents threatening a bystander who complained about their reckless driving. Here’s a video of ICE agents arresting a man for yelling at them from his own front porch. Here’s a video of ICE agents making a particularly brutal arrest while pointing their weapons at unarmed civilians nearby. Here’s a story about another ICE killing, this one in Maryland, under dubious circumstances. These are all things I noticed on X within just the last two days. There has been a pretty constant stream of these for months. Here’s a roundup of some others, by Jeremiah Johnson:

25 Q But it's pretty significant to subpoena the Speaker of theHouse's toll records, right? A We followed Department policy, and we followed all legal requirements in getting those records. Q I mean, you know, to get the information you're looking for, nobody disputed the Speaker and the President were having communications on January 6th. So one way you could have gotten that information is you could have asked the Speaker's lawyer to look at his phone records and to give you the information you needed, right? A Well, you say now that nobody is disputing, but my experience in criminal investigations is that people often at trial dispute things that you never thought were going to be in dispute during the investigation, and so, when I conduct a criminal investigation, I don't assume there will be no disputes. Having a record that is a hard record about a time, and the timeline of that afternoon was particularly important because the violence had started. The President refused to stop it. He endangered the life of his Vice President, and then he's getting calls, and not just -- not calls from Democrats, not calls from people he doesn't know -- calls from people he trusts, calls from people he relies on -- and still refuses to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That's very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.

A Dunkin representative says it produces "one million donuts a day" and is *seeking permits to store thousands of gallons of shortening oil and diesel fuel* in above-ground tanks at the 95,000-square ft. facility. The Boston Business Journal reports it feeds more than 200 Dunkin shops—and presumably many other donut-hungry outlets, given the sheer scale of the operation there. (If Dunkin is selling 5,000 donuts a day in each of those locations, we have bigger problems than the smell.)
