desperately need to write something about how this is true, but they are the kind of players who are *bad* at grand strategy games

we're just hitting random focuses, stability death spiral, our mana is all negative
i think i’m fully in on “the white house is run by thirtysomething chuds who think grand strategy games are real life”

So some group announced they were going to publish a huge leak of ICE / CBP personnel data, then news orgs reported on this as fact without checking the data, the org self-DoS'd their website with all the traffic and then the data ended up being a bunch of inaccurate scrapes from LinkedIn?

if you described this legal theory to a founding father they would simply have shot you
Miller:  "To all ICE officers: You have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties, and anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop you or tries to obstruct you is committing a felony."

American soldiers who set foot on Greenland are committing crimes both at home and abroad, and the main reason not to call for their death is that they should be captured alive for trials
Denmark is underway to move more troops to Greenland in cooperation with undisclosed allies.

Preparatory staff are in place to solve logistics for potential larger Danish forces.

Details are sparse but dr.dk reports that first plane landed 2 days ago.

Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center.

since everyone's talking about qualified immunity now...
presidential immunity is parallel to qualified immunity for cops, & to state immunity to international justice. All very popular bipartisan positions!

not a surprise we have unaccountable leaders when our national ethos is that we can never be held accountable on pain of war with a nuclear power
