In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

Members of his own first term cabinet were calling him a fascist. You fuckers were all warned, over and over again, and you still helped reelect him.

It's jarring to see how much money is going to ICE instead of education, healthcare, public transportation, international aid, green energy infrastructure, and the arts, but I guess that's the point.

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

The videos of the abduction today in heavy traffic in Columbia Heights is truly one of the most dystopian things I’ve seen since Alex’s murder.
Ice surrounded a vehicle in heavy traffic boxing it in and then pulled everyone out of the car while other people were honking and then they just took off.

I remember resenting having to take so many humanities courses in college, even though I tended to do better in them than in tech. Now seeing so many tech bros utterly lacking humanity, while I code with ethics, makes me resent that requirement going away since I graduated.
I agree that neither the humanities nor STEM are more important or pure or whatever than the other: the thing is that we need BALANCE between the two poles, and we have very much lost that in modern U.S. society today.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

“Concerned Collins” is a mealy mouthed fascist. She is *NOT* the “moderate” she claims to be nor what Mainers consistently insisted on imagining her to be. Whether she’s a masked hate monger or too weak to actually fight back is moot. The results are the same. She could have stopped ALL of this.
