Obvious DHS has a duty to make sure its employees are safe. But the idea that a plea for mercy towards an asylum seeker facing the possibility of death at the hands of the Taliban was a threat is beyond ridiculous. It's insulting. And this man is now questioning his own safety.

the administration almost certainly meant to overcome their state capacity issues but it turns out they are genuinely near the limit of people who want to join ICE and can pass even the most perfunctory training. like they'd have 100,000 if they could, they will never get that many recruits

DeLauro says House Dems want "provisions to require judicial warrants, prohibit U.S. citizens from being detained or deported, strengthen oversight of reconciliation funds, mandate the use of body-worn cameras and establish an enforceable code of conduct."

Judge Reyes’s conclusion: “There is an old adage among lawyers. If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither, pound the table. … Having neither and bringing the adage into the 21st century, [Noem] pounds X (f/k/a Twitter).”

This is why it's grating to encounter "protester" used, even by sympathetic folks. Sure, there are Protests™ which many have & continue to attend. And yet Protests™ do not cover even a plurality of the effort happening to protect and push back.

every bit of evidence we have suggests it will hurt Republican turnout and supercharge Democratic turnout
I fully believe Trump will smash the authoritarianism button harder and harder as he feels the midterms wipe out approaching, I'm less sure that doing so will prevent or mitigate said wipe out

What's tough to get across to folks outside MN is that both the occupation & everyday resistance are both happening at such a scale that it's kinda flipped a lot of what most would assume makes sense for precautions or 'opsec'. Everything from spicy stuff to mundane have different rules than before

"yes it's gatekeeping, sometimes the gates need to be kept"
I mean, sure, hypothetically, but also, the lack of gates is what makes the on-the-ground observation network *so effective*.
If *everyone joins in* that makes the network a *hell* of a lot harder to take out.
They can't kill all of us.
