Judge Reyes starts with a comparison: George Washington versus Kristi Noem.
![[start quotation] MEMORANDUM OPINION
On December 2, 1783, then-Commander-in-Chief George Washington penned: “America is open to receive not only the Opulent & respected Stranger, but the oppressed & persecuted of
all Nations & Religions.”1
More than two centuries later, Congress reaffirmed President
Washington’s vision by establishing the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program. See 8
U.S.C. § 1254a (TPS statute). It provides humanitarian relief to foreign nationals in the United
States who come from disaster-stricken countries. It also brings in substantial revenue, with TPS
holders generating $5.2 billion in taxes annually. See Part VI.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem has a different take."[end quotation]
Underneath is a screenshot of a tweet, which reads: " Secretary Kristi Noem
@Sec_Noem
I just met with the President.
I am recommending a full travel ban on every damn country that's been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies.
Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom-not for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to AMERICANS.
WE DON'T WANT THEM. NOT ONE.

i don't want to be a conspiracy theorist about this, but Brokaw only got his invite after Gerald Ford died (eaten by wolves)
From the Epstein files: were Paul Volker and Tom Brokaw really members of a secret society with a "no minorities or women allowed" rule? Brokaw is still around -- worth asking him!

I genuinely do not have strong feelings about Will Stancil except I am now strongly negatively polarized against his most vociferous haters
if you go to a protest and *punch Will Stancil* you are not a revolutionary, you are not an antifascist, you are a fucking freak.

Secondly, a disproportionate number of the Jews targeted in occupied Western Europe (France, Belgium, the Netherlands) were not from families that had lived in these countries for decades, but were recent refugees from eastern Europe. These refugee Jews were more likely to be deported and killed.

This was in the "Jewish Journal" yesterday, arguing that it is inaccurate to compare the actions of any aspect of the Nazi state during the Holocaust to ICE in the US today, because the Nazis went after "legal citizens."
Let's count the ways this single paragraph is false.

not sure yet how the federal agents will respond to this but good news that will hopefully throw sand in the gears
BREAKING: Judge Ana Reyes, in DC, issues a stay of DHS Sec. Noem’s decision to end Haiti’s temporary protected status (TPS) designation, a decision that was to go into effect on Tuesday and could have ended legal status for up to 350,000 people overnight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

this is a very cool thing to do and also highlights one of the biggest keys to Zohran's appeal: he just thinks New York City is really neat

i think there is a compelling essay to be written on outsourcing officiating from visible people reacting in the moment to anonymous replay officials watching frame by frame monitors. it's like "minority report".
Roger Goodell suggests replay officials should be able to drop flags to correct "obvious errors."

We may be getting closer to seeing penalty flags come from officials who are not on the field.

Looking forward to the ethnography of the Minneapolis Decade (2020-present) being published and an entire chapter being dedicated to this quirked up white boy and all his haters
After the Pretti shooting, one of those guys straight-up suckerpunched me for “filming faces”… as I filmed him and fully-masked friends lighting fires directly in front of the dozens of gathered press crews. Nonsensical; just dudes wanting someone to give them a reason. Not that different from ICE.

Abolish ICE.
There’s no reforming it.
There’s no compromise.
There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.
