Woo its time to get the camper packed for our first camping trip of the year & first since moving to Boise. Really looking forward to unplugging from this news apocalypse, seems hard to look away from this shit show for 1 minute. This is our 1963 shasta in MT, come by if you see us out in the wild.
Omg my healthcare coworkers & i were talking about ivermectin guzzling suckers just the other day. In the extreme red county i lived in in 2020 we had *ivermectin overdoses* in the ER.
This entire party of morons convinced itself to *take horse medicine during a pandemic*. And somehow that, too, became Dems' fault! They didn't use a calm enough voice when approaching Cletus, I guess. Can't startle Cletus, he might run off and take horse medicine.
Feh.
Feh.

To the extent you have any education, consult with any legitimate news sources, know anything about what's happening in the world, you vote Dem. To the extent you don't, you vote Republican.
The fun thing is watching pundits strain mightily to cast this as something *negative about the Dem Party*.

Worth keeping in mind that while much of ICE Barbie's $200 million propaganda budget is being given to friends to run recruitment ads, at least $8 million has been set aside to pay "influencers" across all social media sites to boost DHS lies and attack those who tell the truth. On BlueSky too.

Bovino will not fare well in El Centro now that he's famous. I predict an imminent move to Idaho.

MN brings up the leaked DHS memo instructing ICE to enter homes without a judicial warrant in the 10A hearing happening now.
Judge: "Where is the law suit on that? I can't be the global keeper of all the things. That's an important legal question that isn't before me in this 10th Amendment case."

I 3D printed a map of Lake Pend Oreille, Idaho, and switched filaments from blue to green on the layer above the lake elevation. I'm pleased with how it turned out since I'm a newbie and don't really know what I'm doing. Took three tries to get proper adhesion of the first layer, though.

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.
This is one that stands out:

The lack of widespread inquiry over policies that may have factored into a high-profile death involving a federal agent has drawn comparisons to another episode, more than 30 years ago, that prompted sweeping changes.
A deadly standoff in 1992 changed federal use-of-force rules. Here's why it matters
An encounter with white separatists decades ago led to new deadly force policies for some federal law enforcement. Minneapolis is raising questions about whether it's again time to revisit the issue.
