I think people usually call this going back to normal, you know, when they kill and kidnap nonwhite people and no one writes pop songs about it.
There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.
The same day DHS announced the surge would end in Minnesota, ICE activity increased in small towns
The less densely populated areas outside the Twin Cities make it harder for protesters and observers to organize.

There's a wonderful word from professional wrestling that sums up so much about Trump's second administration: kayfabe. Per Merriam-Webster: "the fact or convention of presenting staged performances as genuine or authentic."
“What Pam Bondi displayed in her appearance before the House Judiciary was an absolute disgrace, a demonstration of utter disrespect and hostility toward not only the courageous Epstein survivors, but Democratic members of Congress seeking justice and the truth.”

easy slogan for the next democratic presidential candidate is “i will reform the corrupt supreme court and repeal citizens united”
“When Citizens United was decided in 2010, billionaires had spent $18 million on the 2000 election, $13M 2004 and $16M in 2008. Then came the deluge. In 2012 it was $231M, and nearly doubled again in next three election cycles —to $682M in 2016, $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2.6 billion in 2024.” Gift:

I disagree with Congressman Gonzales that 5-year-old American citizen children are helped in any way by their kindergarten classmates being kisbnapped and disappeared by marked, armed thugs.
Gonzales on Liam Ramos and his family: "They're not gonna qualify for asylum. So what do you do with all the people that go through the process and do not qualify for asylum? You deport them. I understand that 5-year-old and it breaks my heart. I also think, what about that 5-year-old US citizen?"

After huffily defending Trump for posting the racist apes video, the White House is now blaming it on an unnamed staffer.
“A White House staffer erroneously made the post. It has been taken down,” a White House official told Zeteo.

So I guess I’m gonna be one of those #booksky people who publicly discusses the books I read, but honestly I think it’s important. This month was hell and these books helped.
