cutting ICE's detention budget ~60% as compared to what they'd get out of a CR and legally restricting them from shuffling funds across budgets are substantive improvements, even if they're not enough, which murray herself is very clear about.

if a trans athelete wins, it's unfair competition.
if a trans actor gets a part, it's unfair competition.
it's almost like the issue is just that people are bigots and want trans people to be forced out of all jobs and out of public life.

Similar to whenever there's a plane crash, I see people scared about riding trains. A reminder that the reason why there's so much noise and spectacle about this accident it's because it's exceedingly rare. Traveling by train is safer than doing so by car, by quite a margin.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

If DOJ is no longer investigating the murder of Renee Good they should have no problem relinquishing the investigation and all of the evidence to the state of Minnesota. And if they refuse, why couldn't the state sue the FBI for obstruction of justice?
