screenshot of a post by rumiwithaview: I just watched a video of someone in my community being chased by ICE. Instant flashback: me in Iran, running from the morality police, scanning for an open door, a wall I could climb, a place to hide, that cold terror of what they'd do to u if they caught u. The same nightmare I fled is now a daily reality in the US.

screenshot of a post by Paul @SkylineReport: Nov 15 ICE dragged the country through a full-blown panic just to spit out 16 cases. Sixteen. That's a joke, a wet firecracker, an insult to everyone they terrorised. Meanwhile Trump has shoved thousands of actual criminals back onto the streets with his clown-car pardons. Forget 16. His body count of offenders not behind bars anymore is in the thousands.

So if we walk outside of this room and enter Midtown Manhattan, we are under constant surveillance. It’s not all government surveillance, but there’s a relaxation that you can feel where you’re like: OK, but all of this surveillance is distributed across so many different public and private entities, and unless I am literally a terrorist, the odds that people are going to be constantly watching and scrutinizing me are very low. But then the fear becomes: Well, if we have this incredible way to make it all more and more and more efficient, then maybe privacy does start to disappear. I don’t know. What do you make of that? Sankar: There are two thoughts there. One is: Well, are you saying that you feel safer because the institutions that are supposed to protect you are structurally incompetent? And that’s the part where I feel like — Douthat: The answer might be: Yes, sometimes — right?

screenshot of a post by Stephen Miller @StephenM: Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide). This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself.

"Despite the fact that Russia produces fuel in large volumes, its delivery to remote regions, especially to the south, Siberia, the Far East, remains difficult due to the shortage of specialized rolling stock. Also, the reduction of supply in the domestic market is associated with repairs at several large Russian oil refineries at once," explains Pavel Karpus, a partner of S+Consulting.
