Bruh, if you knew how to work a database you wouldn’t be in cosplay gear in -20° weather kidnapping citizens.
“We have a nice little database, & now you’re considered domestic terrorists” says an ICE agent after photographing a civilian who was videotaping them. Posted today by Brian Allen on X. h/t @allenanalysis.bsky.social

This is - without exaggeration - absolutely batshit crazy nonsense.
Judge Kacsmaryk writes to say that the First Amendment only protects "public discourse necessary to self-government," as he slurs drag and holds it not protected.

Congress should pass a law requiring agents to show their faces, identify themselves, & wear their badges. It’s not agent safety we have to worry about these days.
End so-called Kavanaugh stops & admin warrant-based forced entry into homes too. Let’s have a Constitution.

47 is the new 88
Chris Murphy: "The amount of training that's given to an ICE officer has been cut in half by this administration. The number of days of training they get are 47. You know why they get 47 days? As an homage to the vanity of POTUS. No wonder the number of violent incidents are going through the roof."

Last night my wife decided to enable SandSnake#2’s desire to learn to bake bread. Specifically, to bake bread with lemonade instead of water.
I arrived to discover yeast, flour and salt being mixed with chunks of frozen lemonade concentrate.
At least it was a learning experience.

It is true that international law is whatever the most powerful nation(s) say it is. Part of the strength of the US is that as a superpower we still (mostly) complied with international law, or at least with international agreement.
We can be a might-makes-right power or a nation of laws, not both.

Back to the office for the first time this year.
Running through my head as I ride the train:
“You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store”
Probably unrelated to my commute.😬

Came home to find the dogs had counter-surfed their way into a bag of seaweed snacks. Then my daughter gave both of them leftover sausages from dinner.
