It's not just that ICE is recruiting. It's WHO and WHERE they're recruiting. They're doing it in ways obviously calculated to fill ICE with right-wing zealots.

1/ 2025 asked a lot of public health. We faced attacks on science. Budget cuts. Political pressure.
But despite all that, progress still happened. Every year, I take a moment to celebrate public health wins throughout the year. So without further ado, here are some amazing wins from 2025👇

“People who adopt a grave visit it regularly and leave flowers on the fallen soldier’s birthday. The responsibility is often passed down through Dutch families, and there is a waiting list to adopt graves of the U.S. soldiers.”

This, combined with the case before SCOTUS on whether mail-in ballots have to arrive by Election Day (or as in 18 states only have to be ‘postmarked’) can change the results of the midterms.
USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

EXCLUSIVE: A year after Tenet Media was busted for funneling Russian money to MAGA pundits like Benny Johnson, a Trump administration effort involving State and the FBI has welcomed Tenet's founders back into the US. Read @willsommer.bsky.social's latest:
