The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for ≥ 34 of 100 US senators not to vote "guilty"? I still can't get over that.

It's always been abolish ICE.
For the first time, more Americans support abolishing ICE than oppose it. But Republicans are proposing hundreds of millions in funding for this lawless agency.
I'll oppose this bill. We cannot give more money to an agency responsible for terrorizing our communities.

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.
![YOUR RING CAMERA IS AN ICE AGENT
[a drawing of a ring camera with an ice agent dragging a person away in its field of vision]
"In October of 2025, Amazon's Ring announced its partnership with FLOCK, an A.I. surveillance group that freely shares its footage with ICE, the secret service, and the navy. Flock customers can use A.I. tools to sift through footage to assist in all manner of operations (like raids and deportations) without a warrant. Unplug Ring! Melt ICE! Protect your neighbors!

I look at it like this: Ratified treaties are supreme law of the land. NATO treaties mean an attack on a NATO nation is an attack on all of them, incl. USA. If Trump attacks Greenland, he attacks the USA: It's yet another treason.

The FBI sniper at Ruby Ridge was prosecuted by Idaho. The federal district court initially dismissed the charges but was overruled by the Ninth Circuit, allowing it to proceed. The case only ended when a new district attorney was elected and decided to drop it.
Remember: Federal officials do not enjoy categorical, absolute immunity from state-level prosecutions. They are entitled to removal to federal court. But conduct that is unreasonable or unnecessary for the execution of their law enforcement duties is susceptible to criminal prosecution.

I can't wait until this *zz* story* is completely over and someone can write an executive summary short enough that I could bear to read it. I apologize to all other *zz*s, during the intervening time, while I maintain this wildly inefficient and unfair mental filter.
I’m guessing lawyers got involved. But this week’s installment had no journalistic impropriety, just a lot of Ryan in the cuck chair. I think this goose is cooked
the last Lizza post ended on a cliffhanger where Lizza teased a recording of Trump talking about the assassination attempt that would potentially "shatter our understanding of recent history." in the latest drop he reveals that he doesn't know what the recording was and also it has been destroyed.

Paul Ekman died last week - I found out via @hillaryanger.bsky.social on FB. Surprised there's no NYT or WashPo obit.
I took a class with him and he was friends/coauthors with my friend's mom. Hugely impactful on the field. Too much to say in a skeet.
