This pains me as a former football coach, but I am beginning to believe football coaches are the worst people on the planet.
Sunday’s White House pool report: “President Trump played golf today with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former football coaches Urban Meyer and Nick Saban, according to two people familiar with the outing. The White House did not comment.”

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Today's media landscape on this:

I know this isn't the point of OP, but it just sticks out to me that we live in a time that honesty is shouted down and sensationalism is promoted.
And it isn't just the RW media.

It's Judy Blume's birthday. She's 88 today.
Back in 2013, she said, "It’s not just the books under fire now that worry me. It is the books that will never be written. The books that will never be read. And all due to the fear of censorship. As always, young readers will be the real losers."

Daryl and my 1st date was Feb 12, 2005. On Feb 13, he asked what my expectations were for Valentine’s Day.
I thought he was the least romantic person on earth.
19 married years later, I can report that regularly asking about expectations is one of the most loving things you can do.

Regulations are what keeps ordinary Americans healthy and, often, alive.

Pam Bondi is the product of a diseased system.
A system that is so corrupt and beholden to the wealthy class, it cannot hold them accountable no matter what they do, even if it’s raping little girls on private islands.
This is why the oligarchs got behind Trump. To reside safely above the law.

This may be correct, but what I'm thinking about is a lifetime of seeing health care, poverty and environmental programs mocked as impractical and always subject to negotiation while the job-killing misery machines get rushed through the door.
Bluesky AI haters: you need to know that it is coming and it cannot be stopped and you need to help. Ask anyone in coding and you’ll hear that AI is a freight train heading our way. You need to get past ‘it doesn’t work’ and ‘I hate Elon Musk’. I know it sticks in the craw. But please start thinking

The issue isn't whether or not money can buy happiness. Most of us won't ever have that type of income.
But money buys breathing room. Without it we suffocate.
The billionaire class chokes us just by existing.

i think this more than anything is what miller wants. vast detention camps with all of the suffering and death that means.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...
