What Pam Bondi and Lindsey Halligan did was not incompetence--It was intentional misconduct. They both must be disbarred. My new article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/what-pam-b...

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

‘Quick guys, meet me at the treehouse at midnight! I’ve been watching Mr. Watson this week with my new binoculars my parents got me for my birthday, he’s definitely up to something sinister. He needs to be stopped before it’s too late!’

This is heartbreakingly cruel and hypocritical. The same admin that has redefined refugee status to cover white South Africans is now going to drown thousands of refugees already approved for their status in red tape, potentially even seeking to strip some of their status and deport them.

In Morrow County, healthy adults were coming down with unexplained medical conditions, including diseases that usually afflicted the elderly.
In a survey of 30 homes, at least 25 miscarriages and a half dozen people living with one kidney were reported.

This is like learning "Do you think God stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he's created?" came from a goddamn Spy Kids movie.
The damned in hell are not more powerful for the fact that the fires do not consume them; it is part and parcel of their torment.

Seen a lot of people wondering why X, The Everything App would have a feature that gives away how much of the popular right wing accounts are foreign actors and this is why. They thought every left wing account would be that way because every accusation is also a confession.
Planned Parenthood uses a VPN so its twitter location is shown as Germany and now all of MAGA twitter thinks Planned Parenthood is a fake organization based in Europe.

Good point about why AI isn't being designed to replace domestic chores or tedious manual labor. The tech billionaires pushing this stuff into art and relationships have servants; they don't need robots.
These guys have never had to do any of that kind of difficult or gross stuff so of course AI is mostly a way to address their own lack of an inner life.

DOGE was always a very thinly disguised con to dress up data theft and extraction class destruction of federal corporate oversight as innovative, and it's important to remember that part of the reason it worked so well is that the press helped legitimize it

With the full damage and death-toll unknown, and perhaps unknowable due to all that’s been lost, DOGE just quietly dissolved, leaving behind nothing but devastation in its wake.
