My debate coach in high school changed my life, the best teacher I ever had. She died years later of a common but incurable condition and for the last year her old email account has been hijacked and sends me scam emails. Every time it happens it makes me a little depressed. Miss you Ms. Williamson

I must not fedpost
Fedposting is the movement killer
Fedposting is the little death that brings total obliteration
I will face my rage I will permit it to pass through me
And when it is gone I will turn the inner eye to see its path
Where the rage has gone will be nothing Only I will remain

Yes, but like the entire federal government at this point
you cannot fucking reform when the rot is that deep. abolish.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

A manual for ICE's immigrant-targeting computer system, Palantir ELITE, was leaked today.
Let's look at it, then step back to evaluate how far we've come along a dangerous road and where that road might take us. 🧵

Here is the User Guide for ELITE, the Tool Palantir Made for ICE
404 Media is publishing a version of the user guide for ELITE, which lets ICE bring up dossiers on individual people and provides a “confidence score” of their address.

Hard boiled eggs were created in a lab to make me throw up a little in the back of my throat. I simply do not understand what drives otherwise sane people to volunteer to eat them. Shockingly, deviled eggs slap and I'll eat a whole plate
What are your foods that you will grudgingly eat but ONLY if nothing else is available and you’re really hungry?
for me, it’s: lean cuisine shoved in the back of the fridge, gas station hot dogs, Subway sandwiches, Oreos (I don’t get them), plain hard-boiled eggs, Nature Valley bars, most bagels

We are past "abolish ICE", that should be the centrist position at this point. We're now entering the Nuremberg Trials Required stage

A culture where this kind of overt we're-breaking-the-law-and-have-to-hide-it can happen and filter down the ranks and go for months before a whistleblower reveals it, as opposed to everyone immediately going "hell no that's crazy and illegal," is not fixable or reformable. Burn it to the ground.

Good to see the ai boosters finally mask off as white nationalists
“There will be more than enough jobs for the citizens of your nation, esp. those with vocational training,” said Karp. “I do think these trends really do make it hard to imagine why we should have large-scale immigration unless you have a very specialized skill.”
