I understand that, as most of my job involves media watching, I am better informed than the extreme majority of people in the United States, but the thought I am better informed than a broad swath of Senators and their staff while having a job that barely allows me to live indoors is maddening.
Duckworth on Senate Republicans: "I gotta be honest with you. When I talk to a few of my colleagues, they had not even seen the videos. It's almost like they put blinders on. They're uneasy."

Never blame the people who did not vote, NEVER, we will need them as allies next time.
Blame the people who didn't give them something to vote for rather than against.

Personally, I think every member of ICE and CBP in Minneapolis should be literally crucified along I-35, but I understand that's hard to get in an omnibus.

Greg Bovino sadly filling one steamer trunk after another with elaborate fashy overcoats, the teargas canisters he always has bouncing around on him like labubus, and dozens of "chest-belts." They will be shipped ahead of him as he prepares to return to his home, which is a men's size 10 boot.

0.01% of car dealership owners are benevolent local millionaires who are why a small town can have a nice public park or street lights when it otherwise couldn't, the rest are the backbone of modernism Nazism as a political project.

One thing the regime has failed to learn from that is a common failure of other regimes attempting state capture is that if you create significant disruption in the day-to-day lives of people, they suddenly have both a lot of free time and identifiable reasons to rebel against you.

I’m sorry but as someone who has a book and a PhD on this exact thing, this is just straight up not true. The majority of Nazis discovered living abroad (particularly in the US, Australia, and UK) faced almost no legal consequences beyond the occasional loss of citizenship.
This is essentially what governments did in the late 1900s and early 2000s with respect to Nazis. Whether you were a lowly concentration camp guard or in Hitler's inner circle, if there was evidence you were a Nazi, it was straight to jail with your walker.
It worked.
It worked.
Maybe instead of identifying specific ICE agents who do particularly heinous things, we could just penalize everyone who was on payroll at the agency starting by a certain date.

What if the problem isn’t that they can’t find their spines, but that they are, in fact, standing fully erect, on their ten toes, behind precisely the political project they want, the ideology they believe justifies it, and the means and measures with which they intend to advance it?
Walz: "There's a whole lot of Republicans who for whatever reason cannot find their spine, but they might find the ability to know they're not gonna win another election as long as they live unless they stand up for what's right, the rule of law, and human decency."

One thing I will say, as a non-reactionary believer in gun rights, the idea you can be executed just for carrying a gun (with a permit no less) is the exact thing gun rights people have been railing on for years.
There is a fomenting lurch largely missed by the kinds of people on here.

It doesn't help that every new "AI tool" shoveled out with the clear end-goal of replacing human labor is transparently awful in a way obvious to anyone with a remotely basic understanding of the work being done.
Almost as though people up the chain have no knowledge of the work!

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

I think it's important to make the point that this is *not* policing.

This is technically correct in the sense that ICE and CBP operate under the aegis of the Department of Homeland Security, not the Department of Justice, but even if we stipulate that, a question insists upon itself: If it *was* policing, how would it look any different?
