This is a violation of privacy and should fucking end right now
A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

This right here is the beginnings of the result of what DOGE was really up to. Not *really* slashing stuff, but getting access to as many government citizen databases and joining them to be able to target people quickly and comprehensively across all their exposure to the federal government.

Yeah listening to the Straight White American Jesus podcast can also help you identify what kinds of churches they are and who the people who attend them are
I looked into Cities Church, which was protested for having an ICE agent as a pastor.
You already thought they were right-wing. But they're far worse than you thought.
They're ground zero for the "empathy is a sin" idea, among others.

Noodling around the new Epstein releases; as before it’s interesting to see the concentric rings of academics (esp. Physicists, Philosophers, and Cog Sci types), from direct ongoing connection to JE, to grubbing for money/clout, to chattering-class brokerage via eg the Brockman/Matson hype channel.

Here’s Duke behavioral economist Dan Ariely asking Jeffrey Epstein for “the name and email of the redhead that was here with you.” This is four years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution.

If I were a blue state governor, I’d be looking into adding a bunch of tenure lines at my state schools.
I know that seems like “kick ‘em when they’re down,” but it’s more like “let academics who can escape to where they can do real work.”

The governor of Texas is rapidly turning world-class universities into minor regional ones. Example:

The governor said public universities and state agencies may not seek new visas without permission through the end of the 2027 legislative session.

The problem is that blue states are fully committed to “return on investment” analysis and are fully committed to undergrad business degrees and whatever the latest tech trend is. There is no theory of holistic education supported by democratic leadership.

"The House funding bill provides funding for ICE for more training and body-worn cameras, which critics say amount to optics rather than meaningful reforms designed to prevent [ICE's] violence ... Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot by a law enforcement veteran who was recording the interaction."
As protests against Trump’s brutal crackdown on immigrants grow nationwide, Democrats in Congress are scrambling for a unified response to the violence brazenly displayed by ICE and Border Patrol.
Public Rage Against ICE Sends Democrats Scrambling for a Response
Two Democrats announced a bill to abolish ICE prisons as Congress votes to keep funding Trump’s anti-immigrant blitz.
