I think it's time to dust off the term "Robber Barons."

Maybe with a little update.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

This is a long thread but you should read it.

In related news, judges *must* start holding AUSAs in contempt (and then locking them up) if we want this to stop without more bloodshed.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

Did David Stearns lie to Chris Getz to get rid of Luisangel Acuña? It's possible!
Sam Phalen tweet: Great job by many of you flagging this. Here are FOUR different times this offseason where #WhiteSox GM Chris Getz has referred to Luisangel Acuña as a switch hitter. Acuña is, in fact, NOT a switch hitter. Not great. Four times isn’t a misspeak.

People like to make fun of two man luge by suggesting three man luge, but the real evolution should be a "Name that Tune" style contest where teams wager how many men can successfully luge at once.

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.

A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

The probe behind the Fulton County ballot seizures came on the direct referral of Trump's 2020 Big Lie lawyer Kurt Olsen, unsealed affidavit reveals.

Doc buff.ly/FvGkm8h
Following the November 3, 2020, presidential election, there were many allegations of electoral impropriety relating to the voting process and ballot counting in Fulton County, Georgia. Some of those allegations have been disproven while some of those allegations have been substantiated, including through admissions by Fulton County. This warrant application is part of an FBI criminal investigation into whether any of the improprieties were intentional acts that violated federal criminal laws. The FBI criminal investigation originated from a referral sent by Kurt Olsen, Presidentially appointed Director of Election Security and Integrity.

The affidavit in support of the Fulton County warrant is some Sidney Powell-level horseshit.

Also, the statute of limitations for both these putative "crimes" is in the rearview.

We asked the Ring CEO pretty directly about this on the show late last year.

www.theverge.com/podcast/8220...
JAMIE SIMINOFF, RING CEO: So, the mental model, or how I look at it, is that AI allows us to have ... If you had a neighborhood where you had unlimited resources, so every house had security guards and those security guards were people that worked the same house for 10 years or 20 years, and I mean that from a knowledge perspective. So, the knowledge they had of that house was extreme; they knew everything about you and that residence and your family, how you lived, the people that came in and out. And then, if that neighborhood had an HOA with, call it private security, and those private security were also around and knew everything, what would happen? When a dog gets lost, you’d be like, “Oh, my gosh, my dog is lost.” Well, they would call each other, and one of them would find the dog very quickly. So, how do we change that and bring that into the digital world is — NILAY PATEL: Can I just ask you a question about that neighborhood specifically? JS: Sure. NP: Do you ever stop and consider that that neighborhood might suck? Just the idea that every house on my street would have all-knowing private security guards, and I would have an HOA, and that HOA would have a private security force. You can easily paint that as dystopia. Everyone’s so afraid that we have private cops on every corner, and I’m paying HOA fees, which is just a nightmare of its own. JS: So, I would assume you live in a safe neighborhood. NP: I hope so, yeah. JS: No, today, I’d go to ... If you want, I’ll take you to a place where people live and have to, when they get home from school, lock their doors and stay in their house, and they can’t go out and — NP: But I’m just saying the model. The model is, everybody is so afraid that they have private cops.
