A member of our band was taken by the Feds yesterday. They were running after someone and flying tackled them into the band. One of our players was grabbed as well. If you feel motivated to help, please call Clark county jail. Thank you!

Put in jail and forced to labor for approximately $0/day forever is my guess. I was wondering what they were going to do about the farm labor shortage they are imposing via ICE kidnappings. I think this is the answer 🤮.
D J. TRUMP The WHITE HOUSE By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1. Purpose and Policy. Endemic vagrancy, disorderly behavior, sudden confrontations, and violent attacks have made our cities unsafe. The number of individuals living on the streets in the United States on a single night during the last year of the previous administration - 274,224 - was the highest ever recorded. The overwhelming majority of these individuals are addicted to drugs, have a mental health condition, or both. Nearly two-thirds of homeless individuals report having regularly used hard drugs like methamphetamines, cocaine, or opioids in their lifetimes. An equally large share of homeless individuals reported suffering from mental health conditions. The Federal Government and the States have spent tens of billions of dollars on failed programs that address homelessness but not its root causes, leaving other citizens vulnerable to public safety threats. Shifting homeless individuals into long-term institutional settings for humane treatment through the appropriate use of civil commitment will restore public order. Surrendering our cities and citizens to disorder and fear is neither compassionate to the homeless nor other citizens. My Administration will take a new approach focused on protecting public safety.

Hey @edzitron.com , maybe not your lane, but curious what you think about the Meta CTO joining the armed forces.
Boz: Honored to accept a direct commission as a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve as part of the newly-formed Detachment 201, the Army's Executive Innovation Corps together with @ssankar,@kevinweil, and@bobmcgrewai.Our primary role will be to serve as technical experts advising the Army's modernization efforts. I have accepted this commission in a personal capacity because I am deeply invested in helping advance American technological innovation. Nerdsnipe: Anyone care to venture a guess on why we called our detachment "201"?
