One of my cousins is a fairly prolific SM poster. Some random semiliterate dickhead left a vulgar reply on one of her posts, and I just got trapped in a timesuck reading his profile and posts. It was both hilarious and tragic; these people should be easy to defeat, but the cancer has metastasized.

One of the problems is the people who could benefit most from a fleeting moment of self-reflection, of asking ‘Is it me? Am I the asshole? Should I be trying something different?’, are probably the least likely to actually do that.

It’s not just that they are murdering people who are peacefully protesting, it’s that they then stand in front of the cameras and slander the victims by telling us that what we see on the videos didn’t happen.

I have a couple coworkers who are so close to getting it… but they always end by saying “still better than Kamala.” I’m going to start asking them “How? What was in K’s agenda that was worse than this?” I know they’re struggling to rationalize their vote in light of what’s going on, but Jesus…

I gave up hope of anyone ever being held accountable years ago. But if this is true, this is damning for the agency. This is the document people looking for a restraining order dream of. This *should* get bipartisan outrage and officials impeached. But I’m keeping my expectations low.
ICE secretly told its officers that any time someone has been ordered removed, ICE can break down their door.
It has been accepted for generations that the only thing which can authorize agents to break into your home is a warrant signed by a judge. No wonder ICE hid this memo!

MEMORANDUM FOR: All ICE Personnel
FROM: Todd Lyons Acting Director
SUBJECT: Utilizing Form I-205, Warrant of Removal
On January 20, 2025, President Donald J. Trump issued Executive Order 14159, Protecting the American People Against Invasion, directing the Secretary of Homeland Security to "ensur[e] the successful enforcement of final orders of removal." 90 Fed. Reg. 8443, 8444 (Jan. 20, 2025) (E.O. 14159). Essential to the removal of aliens subject to final orders of removal is the ability to locate and arrest them. To this end, certain supervisory immigration officers within both Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) are authorized to issue an administrative warrant, Form I-205, Warrant of Removal (Form 1-205), for the arrest of an alien with a final order of removal. 8 C.F.R. § 241.2(a)(1). All U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) special agents and deportation officers are authorized to execute Forms 1-205. 8 C.F.R. § 287.5(e)(3)(iii) - (y)
Although the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has not historically relied on administrative warrants alone to arrest aliens subject to final orders of removal in their place of residence, the DHS Office of the General Counsel has recently determined that the U.S. Constitution, the Immigration and Nationality Act, and the immigration regulations do not prohibit relying on administrative warrants for this purpose. Accordingly, in light of this legal determination, ICE immigration officers may arrest and detain aliens subject to a final under of removal issued by an immigration judge, the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), or a U.S.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreifrzrvaszfhj4bzhgtyvx3fm6ht4kc2zrwtvozijyxl3zxgp7vx6a@jpeg)

The disease we have in this country right now is that we believe our sense of purpose is to make money.
No. You make money as a reward for doing something with purpose. Like running a hotel, or running a restaurant, or selling products.
You forget what you're in the business to do and you'll fail.

This is absolutely excessive force. In a competent law enforcement agency, this would be internally and criminally investigated, the officer would be fired, prosecuted, go to prison and be sued. This isn’t a training issue; this is internal institutional rot. This agency needs to be eliminated.

You know what’s worse than not showing up to work when you’re supposed to be there?
Showing up to work not realizing you have the day off.
Ask me how I know.

This may feel futile, but I guarantee you it’s not. Some of these guys are hanging on by a thread, ready to say “fuck this,” and throw that badge in the garbage. More than a few of them are getting ready for work, looking at their gear hanging there, and thinking “I just can’t today.” Keep it up.
I added captions to this video of people heckling Greg Bovino leaving a Target in Minneapolis, and there's so many people yelling things at him it's like a comedy skit

So… in an actual professional agency, any use of force has to be justified and documented. There’s no scenario where you pepper spray, tase, baton-strike or even just take someone down without weapons and just casually get in the car and drive away. If you use force on someone, you arrest them.
This is brutal 🤬
In Minneapolis, an ICE Goon point-blank pepper-sprayed a peaceful protester without any apparent reason. (1/12|26)

I keep thinking about how courts have found that unless the resistance also has a threat of harm, use of impact weapons (baton, pepper spray, taser, etc.) is excessive force. I can’t really see how protesters holding signs rises to the level of “threat of harm.”

A few months ago, I wrote down a proposed list of what I called The Second Bill of Rights. These would fit nicely with my list.
Simple amendments that IMO would have a decent chance of getting ratified:

I miss when the OS was a self-contained tool rather than an internet service. We had to manually configure the date and time, which was a small trade off in exchange for the independence.

We still have miles to go with regulating tech, but one of my favorite things that’s only there because it’s legally required to be there is the one-step ‘unsubscribe’ link that at the bottom of every marketing email. Let’s keep passing good consumer protection laws!

About half of the “See you next year!”s at work today were sincere dipshittery, and the other half were ironic dipshittery. Either way, it was all dipshittery, and it made my ears hurt every time.

Along with my work ID and a couple other necessary cards in my work wallet, I’ve carried this every single day at work for the last 19 years. I guess I can get rid of it as of today?
Nah. I’ll hang on to it.
