what's fun about Stephen Miller is the fear driving his dictatorial bluster, because he for sure is the only regime strangelove smart enough to know that if any of these plates stop spinning & crash, he will be the one culprit certain, above all, to be hanged for the outrages
Stephen Miller on a PSA reminding troops to not follow unlawful orders: "It is insurrection ... It's a general call for rebellion from the CIA and the armed services of the United States by Democrat lawmakers."

Stephen Miller calls everything he doesn’t like an insurrection. For goodness sake, he called a district judge ruling against him an insurrection.

They tortured this man and are torturing so many others. It’s so indescribably upsetting to read these stories over and over again.

i have a solution: every agent who joined ICE or CBP after Trump's usurper election can work off the debts in a foreign salt mine
Can't wait to hear how much all of the lawsuits that come out of all of the illegal arrests are going to cost the country.

Astonishing to stop and realize that, at any given moment, bands of masked men armed to the teeth are storming churches and daycares, terrorizing entire communities—and that most of the country's political establishment barely blinks.

Our communities are being devastated by ICE. We are seeing patients with cancer avoiding coming in for appointments due to fear of abduction in Portland. We need our collective voices to speak to the outrage of these injustices.

reminder that Donald Trump said on the record that he partied with his buddy Jeffrey Epstein and women “on the younger side” and yet we’re pretending like the natural of their relationship is some big mystery

“Cruz, Dillion, and LaPointe all mentioned that it takes a single adult without children an average of 19 days to get into a city shelter.”
The city plans to continue to sweep northwest side encampments, but there's no emergency shelter in that area for single unhoused Chicagoans to go to. A tentative city-state partnership is looking to change that. I wrote about it for week's Make it Make Sense:

if you look at what Elon seems to want out of Optimus, for example, it’s very obvious that it’s something like “all-purpose robotic butler.” You can only really get that with a human shape.
