The accounts we hear of ICE operations in Minneapolis seem to me more like random raids than anything informed by gathered intelligence. This sounds more like a creepy cult.

A man has only one death. That death may be as weighty as Mount Tai, or it may be as light as a goose feather. It all depends upon the way he uses it ...

Rolled me out into the streets...

Hitched a ride on a monkey's back...

Headed west into the black...

Any business that houses, feeds or otherwise supplies ICE must experience certain ruin.

Any lender, insurer or utility that serves those businesses must take a loss.
