It really be getting on my nerves too like, why are you as an oligarch not building a library? Shit!
today’s tech barons get compared to the robber barons (I’ve done it myself) but it’s notable how the current generation has responded to the philanthropic and cultural legacy of Carnegie et al with their own campaign of wanton destruction of cultural institutions

anyway every time I hear people talk about “Operation Metro Surge” I think about the endless talk in past decades of “surges” in Iraq and Afghanistan and the phrase “imperial boomerang” resonates through my head and I nod

Most industrial warehouses, like the ones ICE are buying, are built with only one or two bathrooms, showers, and drinking fountains — enough for office staff. ICE would need to massively retrofit these sites to comply with their own National Detention Standards, at the cost of millions.

Sorry for the link to IG. Our vid was too long for Bsky.
We looked at the environmental and local utility tolls that turning a warehouse to a detention center takes. We also compared these sites to existing ICE sites like McAllen, TX.
Bottom line: it’s a lot.

NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.
This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.
Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

If they said 3,000 agents were leaving MN today, I would not fully rejoice. Because those 3,000 would be headed elsewhere.

And this is where we get the infamous "This job sucks" comment, but the context is even crazier. Le is saying, "Your Honor, I'm actually the good guy here, I was able to get someone released. I'm trying to get them to comply." She's literally starting into the "you need me on that wall" argument!
