Personal news time: my time at the FDA is coming to an end. Chemistry reviewers are shielded from a lot, but as my boss put it, this year was awful. (She's retiring after 30 years at FDA, so she's seen a lot.) And it's pretty clear that things are going to get much worse before they get better.

I've been interacting with the internet for so long now that when a guy knocked on my door today to try to sell window installation, I realized, "Oh, this is spam. It's just in-person spam."
And that made me imagine roving gangs of people knocking on doors to claim to be Marriott customer service.

A few ways we will know ICE is actually gone:
โข Commuters no longer report regular verified ICE sightings
โข Abduction reports dry up
โข Hotel and car rentals end
โข Non-ICE federal employees are brought back to the Whipple

Still around 100 community reports of ICE activity around the Twin Cities today, the most of any state by far.
In case youโre wondering why so many of us arenโt quite taking Homanโs presser today at face value.

I have to admit that when I packed my game up for the move, I was thinking that I should keep it somewhere where I can find it easily so we can play with new friends.

They literally dragged a minor employee out of a Target as he was wailing that he was a US citizen, roughed him up in their car, and then dropped him off bloodied and bruised in the freezing cold a couple of miles away, so miss us with this.
Homan: "ICE is a legitimate federal law enforcement agency. We're not out scouring the streets to disappear people or deny people their civil rights or due process."

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paulโan hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
