Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

And as anyone who knows anything about European history from the Reformation onwards can tell you, nothing created a sense of unity and shared purpose across the continent more than religion! Great point Marco!

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Ilia Malinin has silenced any doubters of the self-styled “Quad God.” The American wunderkind threw down a near-perfect short program filled with high-flying jumps and a jaw-dropping backflip to take a big lead at the Milan Cortina Olympics.

I will continue to beat this drum: this is not about what happens on Election Day, but afterwards.
The key tell is her articulation of the core MAGA belief that the legitimacy of elections is entirely determined by the results: if they win, it’s legitimate; if they lose, it’s not.

Our Founders wanted us to all have legal ID, even though the concept of legal ID was not a thing of when they thought of it
Trump: “The Democrats refuse to vote for Voter I.D., or Citizenship. The reason is very simple — They want to continue to cheat in Elections. This was not what our Founders desired … There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!“

The Atlantic's ridiculously sympathetic profile of Rod Dreher is bad enough, but the worst paragraph is the one below, where Andrew Sullivan (of course) suggests that Dreher was "radicalized" by the mere idea that people who aren't white and straight might have actual rights.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

I can see why Miller is trying to save face, but I'm not sure that's a face worth saving
Stephen Miller claims the Trump admin struck a deal w/ MN officials whereby "jails & prisons are no longer going to obey the unlawful edict by Ellison. Instead they're gonna follow federal law, the supreme law of the land, & hand over criminal illegals." (State officials have denied any such deal.)
