They hid this memo by the Acting Director that they could break into people's houses without a judicial warrant.
You know WHY they hid this memo?
Because they KNEW it was unlawful on its face.
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

"What’s especially mystifying about mainstream media’s behavior is that they’re tying the rope for their own noose ... they ought to at least be selfish enough to worry about dangers to the well-being of their own industry," writes @markjacob.bsky.social for COURIER's Stop the Presses.

One of the big media failures of the past decade is the ongoing search for the deeper side of Trump. There isn't one. His ideology, such as it is, is personalist, transactional, and zero-sum. That's as vain, vulgar, and wrong as you can get. He likes gold shit and applause. There's nothing beneath.

Donald Trump celebrated his first year in office by spouting a mix of spurious claims and outright lies from a pulpit at the White House - while continuing to level threats against his country's centuries-old allies.

Recently I've been spending some time with pro-democracy leaders from other countries organizing against national strongmen. Their stories of organizing against authoritarians are eerily familiar. Among the many clear takeaways: stand up to bullies and go on offense because defense doesn’t win.

I have never been a supporter of Donald Trump, but if Democrats cannot prevent him from invading a NATO ally and ending the alliance, I'll have no choice but to join his calls to cancel the 2026 elections.

According to the Congressional Joint Economic Committe, the average Iowa family has paid $1,303 more due to tariffs. As governor, I'd speak the truth: tariffs are bad for Iowa's economy especially and bad for Iowans too. That's public service over politics.

This is a fantastic article with a lot of simple explanations in it of everyday counterintuitive bullshit, just as you’d expect from Cory Doctorow.

Yeah AI is a bubble. But what sort of bubble? Who puffed it up? And what do we do?

⚠️ #ICE broke into an American citizen home and took him out, half dressed in the cold - only to discover they had the wrong person. In addition, they put a gun to his daughter-in-law’s head. Americans are being terrorized by our own government‼️

Its so interesting to see which Republicans are just gagging to go full fascist as soon as they possibly can... some are happy to just dip their toe in. Check the temperature, but others just dive on in there, like pedos at an Epstein party.
