This Friday in Minneapolis-Saint Paul, I’ll be chairing a shadow hearing after ICE’s invasion of the city and the killing of Renee Good. We will not back down in this fight for justice and accountability.

An elderly cat that was being taken care of by incarcerated women was sick, so they raised $11,000 for his care. Now they've established a fund to help other stray cats in their unit. I wrote about it: thebarbedwire.com/2026/01/13/i...

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal added, "Law enforcement professionals do not stand in front of moving vehicles evoking an action that is illegal. No, we don't."

"Don't even try this in Philly," said Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner.

Normally I would say that whoever wrote this bill is out of their damn mind.

But.

Abolishing federal income taxes, and imposing a national sales tax *collected by the states*, would also enable us to withhold taxes as a form of protest.

Worth the risk, or nah?

Huh, TIL.

Estimated membership for the Bloods street gang (US): 15-20k
Estimated membership for the Crips: 30-35k

Estimated membership for ICE: 22k

Sure would be interesting if academic gang researchers took a look at how ICE operates.

US politics sidenote: Next time you're yelling at Congress, ask them to support HR 6397, the Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act.

Yes, it's basically telling DHS to do what they should be doing anyway.

But this would also enable Congress to throw some bastards in jail if DHS doesn't comply.

Still trucking along in Rogue Trader, and overall I'm really enjoying it, but I'm kinda confused about where the plot is going in Act 4.

NO SPOILERS, but DAEK if there are known bugs with Yrliet's dialogue? I thought I made a choice with obvious plot consequences, but so far nobody seems to care..?
