Terror is essential to Miller's project. It's designed to dissuade us from showing solidarity with the immigrants getting removed. Stand in the way of ethnic cleansing and you risk violence yourself.

Oh, that’s why pentagon wants to mess w Stars and Stripes…
Estimates on the cost to implement the Department of War name change range from $10 million to $125 million, but it could rise to "hundreds of millions," the CBO said this week.
Department of War rebrand could cost from $10 million to ‘hundreds of millions,’ CBO says
The final figure would likely hinge on the extent of replacement for signs, letterhead, name plates and digital coding related to many websites.

21-year-old activist injured by ICE:
I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

You will eat one piece of broccoli and your child will have one Christmas toy. This is the Golden Age.
Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."

None of the DoJ people who have been resigning over the last year are squishy liberals. Many likely would have served willingly in a DoJ run by legitimate, lawful conservatives. But this is an unhinged regime of crooks, sycophants, and morons.

This is such an interesting idea. The “ridealong” is such an established genre binding journalism to law enforcement. Great to see @zeteo.com flip this on its head and bind journalism to mutual aid and community care, real “news you can use.”
We did a ride along. Not with law enforcement. But with the Minneapolis residents defending their communities from those very officers.

This was a major initiative from the Biden White House, based in the idea of getting together all the countries with a stake in this crisis. They pressured China to stop precursor chemicals, hit hard at the capital funding for production in Mexico, and funded Narcan in the U.S. It apparently worked.

cbs news is giving us a great natural experiment into what happens to your business if you marginalize your existing consumers to go after a new market that hates your product. interesting strategy
Also tonight: An “exclusive” interview with Kristi Noem in which she’s seen “confronting” some guy being arrested and a tribute to Rubio that turns the Trump giving him a dozen jobs into a good thing, shows off “funny” AI-generated Rubio memes and ends with TD saying, “Marco Rubio we salute you.”
Tonight on the CBS Evening News, the 5-year anniversary of January 6 got 15 seconds of coverage 25 minutes into the show. The only pictures shown: Pardoned “defendants” marching through DC as Dokoupil said Trump accused Dems of “failing to prevent” J6 while “Jeffries accused Trump of “whitewashing.”

Saying ”Grok apologized” is like If I type “YOU’RE A BITCH” into Speak-And-Spell and tell you “Speak-An-Spell says you’re a bitch”
Parker's piece nails why this matters. "Tech companies... would rather not answer for their products’ failures. Every headline that says “Grok apologizes” or “Grok admits” or “Grok says” creates a world where the chatbot takes the fall while Musk and his executives face no scrutiny whatsoever."

I’m just going to tell the story. Back in 2000 I was volunteering for the Gore campaign when he came along with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Alfre Woodard and Dule Hill to a GOTV event here in MN. He ended up sitting down across from me stuffing his envelopes.
