It really says something that a judge has to order federal agents to not hunt down children on Halloween
heathercherone.bsky.social Heather Cherone @heathercherone.bsky.social · Oct 28
Ellis: Agents should stay far away from children on Halloween.

"Know that it is day where people will be out and about."

"I am simply asking that they keep the day in mind and keep it in context."

Lawyers for the government: "Understood, your honor."

You simply cannot make me spend my time on this stuff. Oh the president said Tylenol causes autism? Well it doesn't. No I'm not going to pore through research papers to prove it to you. That's not what my time is for. My time is for playing videogames and gazing lovingly at my wife.

This is fascism, if anyone is curious. It's not on the cusp of fascism, or floating alongside fascism, or fascism-adjacent. It's fascism.

Kurt Vonnegut man
Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope: "Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope. I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is — we're here on Earth to fart around And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore."

…this is insane????
interview between NPR (Martin) and Troy Edgar, deputy secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Martin: Is any criticism of the United States government a deportable offense? Edgar: Like I said, if you go through the process and you're a student and you're here on a visa and you go through it, at any point … Martin: Is any criticism of the government a deportable offense? Edgar: Let me put it this way, Michel, imagine if he came in and filled out the form and said, 'I want a student visa.' They asked him, 'What are you going to do here?' And he says, 'I'm going to go and protest.' We would have never let him into the country. Martin: Is protesting a deportable offense? Edgar: You're focused on protests. I'm focused on the visa process. He went through a legal process ... Martin: Are you saying he lied on his application? He's a lawful permanent resident, married to an American citizen. Edgar: I think if he would have declared he's a terrorist, we would have never let him in. Martin: And what did he engage in that constitutes terrorist activity? Edgar: I mean, Michel, have you watched it on TV? It's pretty clear. Michel: No, it isn't. Well, explain it to those of us who have not or perhaps others have not. What exactly did you do? Edgar: Well, I think it's clear or we wouldn't be talking about it. I mean, the reality is that if you watch and see what he's done on the university … Martin: Do you not know? Are you telling us that you're not aware? Edgar: I find it interesting that you're not aware.
