This is great folks, they're coming up with synonyms for "abolish." That's a hegemony we're making.
Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.
For the love of all that is decent and holy: abolish ICE

"you can accept that this woman's death is a tragedy" is careful wording because Vance knows -- as can be seen on twitter -- that many of his followers don't see it as tragedy but as an opportunity for libidinal delight.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Frey: So, they are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video of myself, I want to tell everybody directly: That is bullshit.

Video makes clear almost every word of this is a lie.

utterly unconscionable behavior by the government. not just killing people, but the knee-jerk defense through outright lies of any and all actions. taking the position that there is nothing -NOTHING- anyone clothed in its authority can do that is wrong. it's definitionally lawless. we are not safe

People love to say “don’t watch the video” on days like this, and I get it, but I think that with an administration that’s trying to control our perception of reality that it might be important to check in with the consensus reality that we can confirm with our own eyes. It’s upsetting but necessary

I wrote for The Nation about Maduro and the assassination of Qassem Soleimani, and how the West's indifference to the killing of a sovereign state's military commander outside of war paved the way for indifference to the abduction of a sovereign state's president. www.thenation.com/article/worl...
The Assassination That Paved the Way for Trump’s Venezuela Attack
How Trump’s illegal 2020 killing of Qassem Soleimani—and the West’s indifferent response—laid the groundwork for the brazen abduction of Nicolás Maduro.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.

A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."

Bovino was there.

DHS tweeted this yesterday. Little more than 24 hours later, ICE agents just shot and killed a legal observer in Minneapolis.

The Stranger Things-heads having post-Avatar depression makes me think that our culture won’t be putting Stranger Things to bed any time soon.
My new theory with all this Conformity Gate stuff is that a bunch of Stranger Things fans are just depressed

Listening to Shelved By Genre's read-through of The Hobbit, getting caught up as the hosts do in how evocative a one-off sentence about thunderstorms being distant giants throwing boulders is, and then disappointedly recalling how unseen wonder got bloated out to a huge CGI action scene in the movie

This was really one of the strangest moments I can remember in American culture, there was a 10 day window where this man was considered a saint, like post-9/11 culture but on 4x fast forward

in a similar vein, the discourse around Chinese takeout in the UK and Ireland is just a bunch of really obtuse people refusing to accept that everyone is eating variations of semi-soggy deep fried meat drenched in sauce

This sucks but I think non-Americans being justifiably angry at Americans for what the American government is doing and threatening to do, and Americans experiencing that anger and frustration personally in ways that are unpleasant, is probably an important part of any path back to stability

the US constantly frames any action taken in defense of sovereignty as a threat to us.
Even if this is happening, its a very weird way to frame a nation looking for double agents and collaborators who helped a country kidnap their leader

It's fascinating seeing the opposite of movies during the Great Depression logic going on in those Doomsday trailers. "Things got you down? World a mess? Come on down to the picture show and feel even worse! Like having a birthday party in a hospice center, Avengers: Doomsday, only in theaters."
