Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**
He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Hard to overstate how big a loss Rumeysa Ozturk’s case is for the Trump admin. Immigration court is an extension of the executive. It’s very hard for them to lose there.
Here she is being arrested by men in plainclothes. Over an op-ed. Still disturbs me.

ICE is currently holding around 80,000 detainees. Nazi Germany didn't reach this number in its formal camp system until 1942, nine years after seizing power and three years into the war.

Yes. This is why you should beware of people who speak of the lessons or verdict of history as if future students of evil will always judge it harshly rather than glorify and aspire to it. If history teaches anything it is that history will not conform to your pleasant delusions at some later date.
Yes. Miller knows those people can't all be deported. He knows they will be in camps. We need to understand: many, many people in Trump's circle read about the Nazis, openly admire Hitler, and want to emulate what Hitler did. We have to accept how serious this is - we cannot hide from it.
Dear all saying no worries, Trump can't round up 10M immigrants because their work is needed for the US economy: please, remember that MOST of the camps in Germany from 1938 were "Arbeitslager" - labor camps. Deporting people is hard. But locking people up and making them work, that's been done. 1/

Reactionaries can't create good art because the fear-based us-v-them, inside-v-outside binary overrides everything else so their only aesthetic criteria is "is this familiar, does this show me things I know, repeat things I've heard. Is this Us." Reactionary art is just a parade of Familiar Things.

Watched the halftime show. I guess where I fundamentally depart from MAGA is that, when I see something like this, celebrating a culture that's not quite mine, with some references I don't get, something that's not For Me ... I *like* it. I like seeing inside other worlds. Why wouldn't you?

We'll be told "there are millions of people who are uncomfortable with that, and we have to learn to live with them."
No, actually. We already are living with each other, including them. They're uncomfortable with some of us. THEY have to learn to live with US. If they won't, that is their problem.

When white supremacist bigots throw a tantrum because they've been forced to confront reality, there are always enablers who will say that the expression of reality is a controversy, or divisive. The implication is that we should change reality to suit the whims of the bigots. Absolutely not.

The way ICE is moving isn't foreign or new.
It's run-of-the-mill American racism and authoritarianism.

Yes. Dipshit low info voters and despicable racists put us into this hellscape
The people who tilted the election were semi-literate knuckleheads at the absolute extreme edge of low-propensity voting; it’s ludicrous to claim they’d have defected from Trump en masse if Harris had used slightly different words or chosen some marginally different theme. They wouldn’t notice

Trump was probably on a path to win the moment the three-cueing zoomer streamer class decided he was a kind of national Fun Uncle, at which the horrors of the first term were washed away and replaced with this idea that he’s the guy who’d give you permission to be a sneering little twit

All the complaints about her campaign are basically stupid nitpicks and the people convinced they’d have changed EVERYTHING by adjusting the words in her ads or whatever are out of their minds. Trump’s support was built out of years of irresponsible false nostalgia for his hellish first presidency

The last remaining nuclear arms pact between Russia and the United States expires Thursday, removing any caps on the two largest atomic arsenals for the first time in more than a half-century.

The mainstream media hardly made a peep about the White House freezing out AP for not using the “gulf of America” crap, raiding the WaPo reporter or arresting Don Lemon. They don’t care about the first amendment. They just want access and book deals.
