Fox reported this last night. I posted it on social media last night. It is a major purge of senior ICE officials resulting from conflict with Border Patrol. But the Speaker once again doesn’t know anything about it. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Q: What's your reaction to yesterday's purge of senior ICE officials? When is it time for Congress to do some oversight?
MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know any of the details of that yet. I just heard about that, literally I was walking in.

These are all marketing slogans that prey on FOMO rather than value propositions. Anyone making decisions based on this kind of shaky logic is just another layer in the pyramid scheme.

this is the guy that Canada will "cooperate" with more through legislation like Bill C-2 and Bill C-12 and federal policy that seeks to further "integrate" Canadian border enforcement with the US
For those who are here, it’s felt clear that the administration is using Chicago as testing ground for how immigration removal tactics could be applied across the nation. And now, this is even clearer. If you’ve not followed closely, it’s time to catch up.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer
