semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003
when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Sandfall and Larian getting in hot water for AI usage is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.
Critical darlings who care about their fans are more likely to listen, which could lead to rooting out the AI cancer that infests the industry.
Call me a hopeless optimist, but I've never pretended to be otherwise.

it’s interesting to see so many MAGA folks acting shocked at Trump’s statement, which is basically the same as every Trump statement I’ve ever seen

The people wondering "how could anyone who isn't a professional escape after a high profile daylight assassination" are forgetting two things:
1. Cops are bad at their jobs
2. The FBI used to be somewhat better at their jobs and were recently gutted by political layoffs

Charlie Kirk wasn’t the only person shot today. But, they’re not big name MAGA’s, so it’s unlikely we’ll hear much about it from this administration.
At least 3 students injured in shooting at Colorado high school.

Like the United CEO - do I approve of extra-judicial vigilante shootings - no. Random assassinations don’t help (this is not a condemnation of all political violence). But do I feel bad for ppl like Kirk when shit that they have openly helped to continue finally happens to them? Also no.

Hakeem Jeffries says of Cuomo's attacks on Mamdani for living in a rent controlled apartment: "It's a legitimate issue that has been raised, and the [Mamdani] campaign is going to have to address it."

The idea of the Fascist Secret Police being made up of over-the-hill actors somehow gives me a strange sense of comfort...
Jerry Siegel was the son of Lithuanian immigrants. Born in Cleveland, he had birthright citizenship, which Trump wants to end. Joe Shuster was a Canadian immigrant who moved to Cleveland at age 10.
"Patriot" Dean Cain would drag both of them off to an ICE gulag

Former Superman actor Dean Cain says he’s joining Trump's ICE agency
Calling it his patriotic duty, Cain says he’ll be sworn in “ASAP” to help enforce immigration raids - a move that’s sparked online backlash, given his iconic role as an undocumented alien hero from Krypton.

Well good to know none of the stormtroopers are having a good time, I guess?
“The frustration isn’t yet producing mass resignations or major internal protests, but the officers and agents described a workforce on edge, vilified by broad swaths of the public and bullied by Trump officials demanding more and more,” Nick Miroff writes.
Trump loves ICE. Its Workforce Has Never Been So Miserable.
A “mission impossible” deportation campaign has left many employees burned out and morally conflicted.

I genuinely cannot believe how many Democrats are spending their energy on destroying Mamdani when the GOP is trying to turn ICE into a full on secret police by drastically raising their budget
