Tech CEOs stopped Trump from sending troops to San Francisco which would have been disastrous for their immigrant worker base given the troops come along with massive indiscriminate ICE raids.

Annoying that folks who are not experts can't always tell quite how deranged some of these arguments are, but they're really not disagreements about text where reasonable minds might disagree, but unvarnished assertions of monarchic power

At best it is treating law as a magic spell. A sort of "hocus pocus habeus corpus article two" as a spell to insult people who think it is a constraint, to dismiss questions from journalists about it, and to gaslight the public that there is even a colorable argument of legality there

This normalization & complacency, famously, was how everyone treated 3% inflation in Q3/Q4 2023 when Joe Biden was president.

I do think we have a pretty good chance of turning gambling into a genuine popular moral crusade 19th century style, because it's becoming a social evil that's destroying young men's lives in particular but also making sports coverage really shit.

Bovino is on videotape violating an existing court order by tossing canisters of teargas into a crowd of peaceful protesters. And let's not forget that Bovino was previously found by a California jury to have given false evidence under oath. He's not a credible person.

Just got an email from my daughter's former elementary school. They're doing a soft lockdown--doors and windows locked with nobody allowed in.

Also just got a text from her high school warning about ICE activity. Because ICE wants to disrupt public schools.

As always, fuck ICE.

Sam Brunson @smbrnsn.bsky.social · 17h

Just got an email from my son's school. Because of ICE activity in our neighborhood, they're forced to do indoor recess and dismissal.

Fuck ICE.

Standard lockdown drills are flawed, but they’er meant to keep kids safe from a shooter.

What the hell has happened to us that we now need lockdown drills to keep our children safe from the federal government?

Jenna @jennabohenna.bsky.social · 16h

My 11-year-old recently told me they had a "soft lockdown" drill at school as well, saying it's "new" and they don't stop class and hide in the back; they just lock the doors and keep working.

Fuck ICE.
