Update on the update.
#bunnysky thank you for your good vibes for my little guy.
The meds seem to be working; he's a little lower energy still, but the vet did warn that was likely for a week or two.
But he's given me binkies and the occasional zoomies, and look at how handsome he looks!

Flock should not exist. Flock, as a business, as a concept, is an affront to civil rights.
Flock shouldn't be nationalized, it should be torn down and the ground salted.

Scoop: Police have recently been ordered to be "as vague as permissible" in the Flock system about the searches they do in a message shared with several major police departments around the country by the FBI. Actively avoiding transparency is now the strategy:

Police Told to Be ‘as Vague as Permissible’ About Why They Use Flock
The documents show law enforcement sees themselves as being consistently and universally under threat from the people it is supposed to protect.

The reality of the situation is that whatever Trump personally thinks about anything, he is allowing Stephen Miller to run his administration because he is lazy and stupid, and the entire decision-making apparatus on immigration has been infested with Nazis.

I will go further and say that people using the "r"-word are hoping that bringing it back opens the door to bringing back the "n"-word, and is strongly correlated with the people who want to carve off trans rights as a stepping stone to claw back gay rights in general
I assume anyone who says this word is probably okay with the n-word, too. Or, more charitably, doesn’t understand why they shouldn’t say it just that saying it would get them in a lot of trouble.

Simply put, this is unacceptable. The entire agency is rotten to the core. There is no reforming or retraining a culture of lawlessness, there is only uprooting every part of it and then trying something different.

Border Patrol is pulling out of Minneapolis. Bovino is ending his punitive tour of blue cities. Calls for Noem's resignation are mounting, even in conservative media. Senate Democrats are dug in now on refusing to fund DHS and ICE. "Abolish ICE" is now a mainstream position.
They are losing.

For the umpteenth time, Brian nails it. House Dem Leadership screwed up big last week. This isn't "I told ya so." There should be some real reflection within the Dem Caucus about the systemic error in judgement that dismissed all efforts aimed at getting them to make the right call last week.
The murder of Alex Pretti might prove to be a political turning point for the GOP. It should be a turning point for Dems, too. For the current leadership, and the consultant-industrial complex, which just fatally endangered the careers of seven members who chose to put morality last.

This is so good. There are models--and Minneapolis is a great one--of what community and solidarity look like. And those real, existing models are far more compelling to far more people than the blood-and-soil fever dreams of soulless maga ghouls
Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

"In the past, Republicans have just waited us out because they thought we would break. This would be a very dangerous moment for us to do that because of the specific moral question being put to the nation: Does the president of the United States get to murder American citizens?"
This is a critical point from Sen Chris Murphy: If Dems fold on ICE now, it could be a disaster in the midterms.
"The result will be a lot of voters who tend to turn out in midterm elections just won’t."

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
