Vance on Jan. 8: "You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action. That's a federal issue. That guy's protected by absolute immunity."
Vance today: "I didn't say that officers who engaged in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity. That's absurd."

Recall that a district court wrote a lengthy and closely reasoned opinion blocking DOGE's access to sensitive SSA data after extensive briefing. The Fourth Circuit agreed. Then SCOTUS threw that out with no explanation in a two-page emergency order.
"Two members of Elon Musk’s DOGE team working at the Social Security Administration were secretly in touch with an advocacy group seeking to “overturn election results in certain states,” and one signed an agreement that may have involved using Social Security data to match state voter rolls..."
If anyone has any information on the identity of the "advocacy group tyring to overturn election results in certain states” and who were secretly in contact with DOGE, my Signal is DavidGilbert.01

Sickening - but apparently not enough for some of those whose voices could make a little difference.
Where are Obama, Bush, Biden, Clinton, the CEOs of the companies that helped talked Trump down from Greenland, ANYONE with authority or market power who can command a microphone and back up the brave citizens of Minneapolis, and say this is morally wrong and an existential threat to the republic?
The Columbia Heights school district says ICE detained four of its students, including a 5-year-old boy, as "bait" to draw out family members.

Today I talked with a 76 year old who'd been standing in the cold for hours guarding her neighbors. I was getting kind of chilly, even in the new winter gear i bought for this trip (and I live in the goddam mountains myself).
She didn't even have a hat on.

Minneapolis business owner on the impact of ICE:
"Streets are empty, stores are closed, restaurants are shuttered. It is a complete standstill of economic activity here. And a lot of that is because of the fear that's been created by the armed mass invasion of ICE agents in our neighborhoods."

Republicans are now pushing the SAVE Act, which would require voter ID to match your BIRTH CERTIFICATE, making about 79% of women (who took their husband's last name) INELLIGIBLE TO VOTE.
What's next...no ability to have your own bank account or credit card, it's only been 50 years...since.
