Ice, Ice Baby

Like just about everyone else, I like the song which is the title of this post better than Ice. And I don't even like that song that much (I'm too old).

A couple of days ago Ken Klippenstein wrote an article about what at least some immigration officers are saying about how ICE is acting now. It's a good article. Apparently there is quite a bit of division in the Homeland Security Peeps (calling them that is mean to baby chickens, isn't it?) over the killings of Alex Pretti and others.


Bovino. He's out, as I'm sure you know, and is going to end up in California. What the hell did California do to deserve that? He should be in Mar-a-Lago, arresting men who abuse young women... ohh wait, he'd have to arrest Trump... (image from Klippenstein's substack article)

Whatcha Think?

We've found, and introduced to others here at Caucus99%, various opinion and news sources; from mainstream news, podcasts, webpages, videos and more. Some of these sources have changed in political orientation it seems, others are a bit more mainstream than they used to be. That's kinda natural, I guess. One has to go where the money flows, or something. I've really enjoyed learning about all these different sources from my fellow Caucus99%ers, watching the videos and reading the stories and opinions. Sure has taught me a lot!

So recently I happened across a news/opinion/podcast/wev station on youtube called 'Really American'. And I like it, so I wanted to post about it here. It's far more left wing than most anything I've seen recently. 'Really American' does some pretty good reporting and coverage of other news sources' reporting. The channel often joins in with the 'US Democratic Socialists' group which is also pretty cool.

Here's a very recent sample of 'Really American' about one of Trump's war crimes:
