I’m approaching my Bluesky account with the radical idea that I don’t need to maintain separate personas for my political work, my figure skating journalism and fandom, and everything else in my life. I’m the same complex human being in all those spheres, and I see the connections. So beware 😉

All the more reason to make sure local law enforcement isn’t complicit in this abuse of power.
The number of people in ICE detention has grown, and detention facilities are over capacity. As a result, the government is intensifying its hunt for more space — and local police are playing a bigger role.
Private prisons and local jails are ramping up as ICE detention exceeds capacity

I've seen people saying this is due process; being put before a kangaroo court on the charges the regime transparently only invented to smear Garcia's name after his name became public is not "due process". It's still openly fascist dictator shit and I hope people won't be Handing It To Em for this.
