Ah, yep. This is what we are paying folks for while others suffer. We have become a looney tunes cartoon version of a government.

The War Powers Resolution was Congress’s attempt to rein in the quasi-legal military authority that had been accumulated by the presidency. It was passed in response to Nixon’s secret bombing of Cambodia, Operation Menu, which was *drumroll* an airstrike campaign.
The Justice Department told Congress this week that President Trump could lawfully continue his lethal military strikes on people suspected of smuggling drugs at sea. The move rests on the idea that a Vietnam-era law called the War Powers Resolution does not apply to airstrike campaigns.
War Powers Law Does Not Apply to Trump’s Boat Strikes, Administration Says
The move deepened the idea that a Vietnam-era law, which says congressionally unauthorized deployments into “hostilities” must end after 60 days, does not apply to airstrike campaigns.

Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

Our federal government is attacking the states its GOP leaders do not like. Because of the politics they do not like.

Any other framing by the media is feckless, quisling dishonesty.
Some context to the viral videos:

Around 9am Friday, ICE/CBP *encircled* several square miles of a safe suburb and *stormed* it using multiple units.

They were in cars, on foot in alleys & gangways, and in helicopters. They demanded papers, threatened residents, pointed guns, kidnapped people.

Again, this precise use case is why these systems exist-to proliferate people’s racist (transphobic, misogynistic…) imaginary at scale. This should not be seen as a “misuse” but rather the product being used exactly as intended.

Folks looking for evidence of SNAP recipients as welfare queens have no shortage of AI generated schlock to use as justification.

Great fame can be obtained
By routing an army
With oxen carrying
Burning straw on their horns.
But after all, it is
No more important than
The tracks of sandpipers
On a wave washed beach.
Days go by and become
A year and I am too
Lazy to notice.

Sometimes i get sad at those “I wanted to look up what kind of horse pulled medieval wagons It’s three hours later and playtex bra sewers made spacesuits i have a problem” no. No, you don’t. Hydrate and get back in there
I strongly recommend everyone do research sometimes 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘯.

Look something up on Wikipedia. Go to the little citation. Follow it. Read the article it's referencing. Follow links to the original interview. Read the paper written by the interviewee

It genuinely makes you appreciate journalism
What academic fixations is he referring to?

It is time to admit that Republicans won the 2024 election by running to the center.

It’s funny to think that the masked ICE Agents terrorizing communities are the same folks that spent two years saying they couldn’t breathe with a mask on.

Is the idea that they faked the moon landing on a soundstage with a Eurovision-style WIND MACHINE? And oops forgot to paint stars on the backdrop? Conspiracy theories always depend on the conspiracists being dumb as hell

Right now the U.S. is amassing "the largest U.S. military deployment in Latin America since the Cold War" to provoke a war against Venezuela.

In some better alternate timeline, we'd be using all those resources to help our neighbors in Jamaica, Haiti, & Cuba recover from Hurricane Melissa.

From the flight deck of the USS Gerald R. Ford to the submarines prowling the depths of the Caribbean, the United States has assembled a military force unseen in the region for decades.
