It is increasingly clear that the majority of federal law enforcement officers do little or no real work, hence having the time and resources to do what they've been doing under Trump.
Whole agencies need to be zeroed out, with employees sued to pay back salaries and benefits wrongly obtained.

"Dunn’s attorney says he tried to turn himself in, but instead, 20 officers came to his home to arrest him."
Just think about that for a minute.

Subway sandwich guy has been released on his own recognizance.
His attorney argued the felony charge was excessive, and the judge agreed.
Oh, and he’s a USAF veteran.

"Crime" is largely just shit people made up so they'd have an excuse to kill and enslave undesirables.
Pointing out how safe DC by showing the low crime rates isn’t going to convince conservatives because “people breaking the actual law” isn’t what they mean by “crime”. To them, “crime” includes merely seeing black people, unhoused people, and anyone else the bigots clutch pearls about as “crime”

Want to use rich people like me to your advantage? Incent us to help those who need it the most. Lower corp taxes for comps that pay a min of $25 per hour. Lower corp taxes if employees get stock at the same pct as the CEO.

No one wants to hear this, but it’s true. Either we can value education — not for a select few but for anyone willing to put in the effort — and provide the requisite resources, or we can watch it become a pursuit available only to an elite minority, with everyone else getting a cheap facsimile
There simply is no substitute for the time-, personnel-, & $$$-intensive way of providing quality education. That we don't want to pay for it, as a society, does not make this any less true, & AI cannot fix that. At best, it can poorly substitute for the real solution.

Sure we could reduce the student to teacher ratio, and create an education system that we know works for students. But that would cost money, so bring in the slop.

Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away”

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

The thing is there is no funding for this. That's why the Guard soldiers are sleeping on the floor and there are no toilets. The unit hasn't gotten funds to book port-a-johns. And once these units hit 30 days activated, every soldier is owed a ton more money because BAH benefits kick in.
I do wonder what it costs financially to have an army occupying Los Angeles and why I keep being told the government doesn't have enough money to pay for public schools to buy supplies for their teachers
