I’m signing off for the night but if I see any Dems in Congress talking anything but abolishing ICE tomorrow morning I’m going to lose my shit.
Ok, they can also talk about impeaching everyone. That works too.

NEW: Jonathan Ross is former National Guard and Border Patrol and has been part of ICE's SWAT equivalent, a team leader overseeing FBI, ATF, and IRS agents, and a firearms instructor, according to testimony obtained by WIRED. This is from @hudsongiles.bsky.social and me:

The scale of the protests in Iran are absolutely unbelievable. Hard to quantify, but I've seen some speculation that this uprising is more significant than the 2023 protests (themselves the largest challenge to the regime since it came into power in '79.)

I don’t expect the Eagles offense to suddenly figure it all out but I do think they’ll be significantly better. In large part they’ll be much better because Hurts will run more. That will open up a lot for them.

Anyone with a lot of money who truly cares about our country could run a simple and not all that expensive campaign to kill X in months. Just target athletes, the pro leagues and actors. Make it a PR nightmare for them to remain on the site. They’ll delete their accounts cause money matters most.
If a website appeared overnight that gave hundreds of millions of users the opportunity to create CSAM you'd expect governments to shut it down quickly, so the question is why X gets a pass when it's done just that?
