The manuscript for @Crazy8Press' Thrilling Adventure Yarns 2026 is now in the hands of book designer @gryphonrose. As a result, I will be closing Late Pledges on Saturday, February 23. https://t.co/i0tT6qeZex

🚨 BREAKING: ICE agents in Minneapolis are seen arresting another teenager without verifying his identity first, and admit to it on camera.

In the video, the teenager calmly tells agents he can go inside and get his ID to prove who he is. The agents refuse. Instead, they say they’ll “take pictures at HQ”… and then force him into their SUV anyway.

That is deeply alarming.

Law enforcement is not allowed to detain people first and figure out who they are later without lawful justification.

Detaining someone without verifying identity, without probable cause, and without allowing them to present ID raises serious Fourth Amendment concerns.

You cannot seize a person just to “check” who they are.

This also mirrors what DHS has now openly admitted: that people are being detained first and sorted out later based on suspicion alone.

That means innocent people, minors, and U.S. citizens are being taken into custody without verification, without charges, and without due process.

If the government can forcibly detain someone simply to identify them, that is not law enforcement… that is unlawful detention.

What a long strange trip it’s been… and it’s only getting stranger.

I study authoritarianism for a living, so I do not say this lightly: America isn't facing an authoritarian future. America is living an authoritarian present.

@crazy8press is developing a fun collection of international espionage stories (with a dash of SF). If we can hit the stretch goals, we will have some fine rewards and surprising guest authors. We would appreciate your support.

We are comic book people. We learned right from wrong in every book we read. We were taught that everyone is created equal and it was the hero's responsibility to step up for those unable to defend themselves. We were taught to lead by example and treat all people with respect.

This is why Republicans work so hard to keep history out of schools. They don’t want white children to know what their parents and grandparents did.
