Rando. Game design enjoyer cursed to also follow public policy. My most defining attribute is my lack of interesting attributes.

Good to see that many Dem elected officials now want to be seen getting involved in the cases of immigrants who have been wrongly detained by ICE.
Let's spare a word for @vanhollen.senate.gov, who did this for Kilmar Abrego Garcia back when wise pundits said this was politically dangerous.

After the SOTU, instead of the usual reply speech video, Dems should just record the whole caucus reading out the Declaration of Independence or something
The list of offenses is relevant, message is clear, and it would probably drive Rs insane to try and say anything against it

Regardless of their level of involvement, one thing that’s clear is there’s not one person named in the Epstein files who believed those girls were people.

1. The new batch of Epstein documents helps illuminate one contemporary controversy: What is Bari Weiss up to at CBS? I think the answer is she is trying to rehabilate the Epstein network as a bulwark of reactionary centrism. Let me explain.

Given how many polling places and how few ICE and CBP field agents there are, they'd have to be pretty targeted doing this, but also the internet would be functionally instantly slathered with videos of brawls and arrests at polling places which is how you get an AmeriMaidan scenario.
ICE agents gather by the entrance to polling sites and grab anyone who looks brown or black---as they've been doing---so other non-white citizens get the message and decide to stay home for fear of being tackled and suffering a two-day detention.

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

ICYDK, publishing is in a decline. Many authors who have had dependable contracts in the past are now scrambling to make ends meet and seeing lower advances and fewer sales than ever. If you see lots of book publicity posts, it's because we're scared and trying to keep our jobs during The Horrors.

Law enforcement officers have always been unmasked in this country until ICE started wearing them last year.
*That* is the departure from norms. *That* is the step too far.

Tillis says he opposes ICE being barred from wearing masks: "I've seen people dox me. I've seen people take pictures and identify law enforcement officers and then put their families at risk. So, I think that's a step too far."

Genuinely interesting. Kristi Noem is snitching that Stephen Miller is the one who made up the bullshit about Alex Pretti.
It would be genuinely useful if Congress can get her to admit that he has been dictating ALL OF THIS just like he dictated the murderboats.

Guys maybe the number one obstacle to organizing here in Minneapolis is the unfounded fear that if you get involved, DHS will put you on a list and assassinate you. It leads people to avoid organizing or act in ways that are completely detrimental to organizing. Please please do not spread that fear

The execution of Alex Pretti is playing so badly because you can look at his actions and life story - his last act was helping, boy scout, athlete, health care worker to veterans - and compare those to the men who killed him and know which you would want to be your son, brother, father, uncle.

With 170,000 troops along with tanks, airplanes, satellite communications, and hundreds of billions worth of logistical support, the U.S. military could not control Iraq, a county 1/8 the size with 1/7 the population.
ICE has 22,000 agents.

last thing i’ll say since a lot of you are hung up on “complex and sophisticated.” even something as “simple” as sending thousands of guys to polling places in the 40 or so districts most likely to flip — and have them posted for the length of voting — is, uh, logistically demanding.
strange to me that a lot of people on this website simultaneously agree that the administration is run by incompetents who struggle to carry out their agenda without major political blowback AND that they’ll pull off a complex and sophisticated effort to rig elections and prevent defeat in November

It’s neat how the entire intellectual framework of one political party has collapsed down to “say things that feel vaguely correct if your brain is a stew of Fox News blurbs”
Attorney General Pam Bondi: "Our country was founded on law enforcement"
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"
