very instructive thread on why DHS is a Department of Hot Sewage full of degenerates and should be dissolved immediately
🧵 At 3pm ET today, I'll be live-posting highlights from the public forum for @lawfaremedia.org.
This will some witnesses' very first public appearance and the only one for Brent and Luke Ganger, who do not plan to do any additional interviews.

Lots of this amount to “reinforce existing laws” that they are ignoring because no one is stopping them. Defund and Abolish needs to be the starting point, not this pre-compromised horseshit
in real terms, #7 would give states leverage to put an end to surges, #8 would give states the ability to outright stop construction of new detention facilities, #1 and #6 would slow the rate at which DHS could train and deploy officers, #2 and #10 would likely shrink the pool of recruits

When watch a video from 30 years ago and someone on the left seems like they could be talking about our current moment,that’s not wizardry or soothsaying. It’s evidence of a point of view which has been systematically marginalized, censored or silenced throughout a good deal of the postmodern period

DOJ files show Jeffrey Epstein discussed female Yale student with professor injured by the Unabomber
"From my standpoint, he was one of the two (maybe three) smartest men I'd ever met," a Yale professor said of Epstein in an email to CT Insider.

Trump, an insurrectionist, invoking the insurrection act is a bit like that Marilyn Manson song where he said "I rape the rapers" and it turned out he himself was a raper. And also similar because Trump is also a raper

seems like the country is run by a cabal of rich pedophiles and their backers/people who privilege class solidarity with these rich pedophiles over the safety of literally anyone. they'd be all too happy to throw us all into a giant furnace or cannon if it meant their way of life wasn't disturbed

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

Thesis: ICE is un-American and the Minneapolis protestors are real Americans.
Antithesis: Ackshually ICE is operating in a long American tradition of racist terror.
Synthesis: Minneapolis is now the epicenter of a clash between two distinct but historically grounded American political traditions.

It’s hard to accurately describe what is happening in Minneapolis without sounding crazy.
Unmarked rental vans all over the city, with people in military gear and no id jumping out of them to take captive anyone who looks nonwhite or who makes political speech they disagree with.
