As awful as this, the focus on whether the woman was complying obscures the more important issue: in a democracy, there should not be armed agents demanding to see papers of every passing person.
“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”
The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.
It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.

This hearing also featured some pointed questions from councilmembers about how much MPD is still cooperating with ICE.
MPD Assistant Chief Andre Wright repeatedly denied it...but also allowed that ICE/HSI will ask for help on warrants and does attend daily MPD roll call.

![MENDELSON: So Chief Wright, are MPD officers cooperating with ICE or with HSI? Yes or no, are they cooperating with ICE or HSI? [00:00:21][2.9]
WRIGHT: No. Not at all. And when you say cooperate, what do you mean?
MENDELSON: Well, I would think the answer is yes, because if they have a judicial warrant, they may want MPD to help them. So I would think the answer is yes. So let's start again. Are MPD officers cooperating with ICE or HSI?
WRIGHT: [00:00:47] I think in if in the instance that you're I think you're bringing up that there's a judicial warrant signed by a judge, criminal judicial warrant, and there's an assist, there's an ask for an assist to to apprehend the individual for that judicial warrant signed by a judge, then I think in that instance we certainly could assist.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hgp3uf4vzz567e3ak3g6yawn/bafkreicy3blb5j5jd7wp75zt2miuvc5tnb3c37fj3u67wyc5zggtfoercy@jpeg)

Something important to take into account with Venezuela: When Obama did the drone strikes extrajudicially, he did it under the 2001 AUMF. That was a dubious pretense but Congress made the authorization too broad. Trump and Hegseth have no such authorization to do those strikes.

Gavin Newsom spent the early months of Trump 2 having friendly chats with far-right extremists. He praised Steve Bannon shortly after he gave a literal Nazi salute.
Google "Newsom vetoes" for a long list of things he has fucked up for California. He's a snake and you shouldn't trust him.

You may have gripes...nobody is perfect, but Newsom has been a great governor. He's an excellent administrator, and if you want to join the circular firing squad which has destroyed progressive politics, be it on you.

"...Newsom has vetoed our menopause bill, not one but two years in a row. But that's OK, because he's not going to be governor forever. And with the way he's overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either."

I think the remote starter and warm seats is the height of human invention and we should stop now.
I know every generation has a "you just don't understand what it was like" conversation with each succeeding generation, but I'd like to acknowledge how awesome it is to have a remote starter for the car for the winter
And while I'm here, kudos to ~not~ having bench seats anymore!
