ICE Tracks Down Woman to Force Her to Delete Instagram Post
Two ICE agents harassed a poll worker on Election Day, demanding she remove social media posts they claimed threatened federal agents, according to Syracuse.com.
Paigelynne Gonyea, a poll worker in Syracuse, New York, said she received a phone call Tuesday from two ICE agents asking to meet with her. Not wanting to meet with them alone, she invited them into her work. “I’ve seen the news, especially in Minnesota,” she said. “And I didn’t want anything to happen to me at all.”
The ICE agents arrived with copies of her social media posts and driver’s license, and handed her a warning notice alerting her that they were investigating her for allegedly threatening ICE personnel. “They tried to scare me into signing it while I was working,” she said. The agents told her to “remove and/or discontinue” the behavior, according to the notice, which Gonyea shared on Instagram.
Gonyea frequently posts about immigration on social media. She believes the investigation was prompted after she shared a news article in January identifying Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good. “I think today is a great day for Jonathan to be indicted,” she wrote in the caption.
Gonyea did not believe that her post or caption qualified as doxxing. “I didn’t dox his personal information, such as address, phone number,” she told Syracuse.com.
Ross, who was only placed on three days of administrative leave for shooting Good in the head, chest, and arm, faced virtually no consequences for killing an innocent woman in broad daylight. It appears that federal law enforcement now view pleas for actual justice as some kind of threat.

A quotation from Adlai Stevenson
Behind the politics of big talk and little action lies the simple fact that most of the big men who run this show want little government.

Me, I think government is a tool, like a hammer. You can use a hammer to build with or you can use a hammer to destroy with. Whether government is good or bad depends on what you use it for and how well you use it. On the whole, it’s a poor idea to put people in charge of government who don’t believe in using it.

The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves — in their separate, and individual capacities. In all that the people can individually do as well for themselves, government ought not to interfere.
The desirable things which the individuals of a people can not do, or can not well do, for themselves, fall into two classes: those which have relation to wrongs, and those which have not. Each of these branch off into an infinite variety of subdivisions. The first — that in relation to wrongs — embraces all crimes, misdemeanors, and non-performance of contracts. The other embraces all which, in its nature, and without wrong, requires combined action, as public roads and highways, public schools, charities, pauperism, orphanage, estates of the deceased, and the machinery of government itself.
From this it appears that if all men were just, there still would be some, though not so much, need of government.Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
Speech (1854-07-01?), fragment on governmentMore about this quote: wist.info/lincoln-abraham/3093…

"It also champions #SmallGovernment a la #Libertarian ideology (aka. Fuck you, I’m alright Jack).
Hardly a fair or accurate depiction of libertarianism, but I'm not surprised.
People on this platform who are honest about libertarianism are rarer than hen's teeth. People who misrepresent it? A dime a dozen.

Saw a #MikeJohnson quote in #theGuardian basically admitting that he likes what #ElonMusk is doing because it's what they've "been unable to do" in congress for years.
So in other words, he's able to act unilaterally against ideological enemies which ofc is harder with a legislative body of hundreds of different voices.

This article is just bloody brilliant.It quickly looks at the successes by #BigGovernment in #Australia in responding to #Covid and areas of failures too.
And rips the Health Department, #TGA and #ATAGI a new ones for failure to get vaccination happening quickly.
If you're sick of hearing no-nothings yabba about how the lockdowns were unnecessary then this article gives comparisons with other countries.
