5️⃣ A fascinating special in Arkansas. I said what matters here is less the prospect of a flip (it's a HYPER red county), but the fascinating conversations about the scope and suitability of incarceration happening in a rural, GOP region.
The activist independent got > 30%, an impressive showing.
finally watched Casablanca. wild in this day and age for something to actually live up to the hype
Well, fuck

(Oh yay! Can we stop glazing the capitol police now.)
I still love “folks”
There’s an Americana humanist vibe to the word that feels true to my life here
everything that happens in immigration detention also happens in jails and prisons across the country. every single thing.
The last three months have made suckers of almost everyone in about 40 countries. Avoiding suckerdom is an Olympic level sport at this point.
it was only fair after I gave a rat name to my baby tho
As I dig to try to understand all of this as best I can, I love your last thought here. I find myself returning to a similar thought when I start to feel too bogged down by narratives.
Was lucky enough to watch an effects panel about this gem of a show at Star Wars celebration in Japan last year. The technical wizardry blew me away. Well deserved!
Because she was working with a federal task force, she was considered a federal officer, and thus protected by SCOTUS rulings making it all but impossible to sue federal cops, even for egregious abuse.
Now consider what this means for Trump's immigration thugs.
Democrats had two years to fix this.
They should call it Max
My brother! Nicky Boom Box! DM me for his contact info. www.mixcloud.com/NickyBoomBox...
Rob Thomas was my first famous crush at like 7 years old based solely on his voice. Also Sunday Morning is underrated jam. I concur with your statements.
Recently made a list of my fav 50 full albums after a similar discussion. Highly recommend - the process prompted me to reconnect with some gems.
First statement I’ve seen highlight the loss of life already suffered on the ground.
Thank you.
We're all trapped in the twisted reality of a few because they lack the imagination to see other people as human. That's literally it.
no war no borders no cops no prisons no to all of this shit
This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t
I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.
woke up and started swearing
We've entered the stage of the news cycle where the clear initial information has been reported, fresh reporting is hours or days away, and the gap in between is full of talking heads either constantly re-stating the bleeding obvious and/or speculating wildly based on nothing.
“DOL said Amazon provides the platform for the phone service and declined interview requests.”
lololol

I continue to be fascinated by the phenomenon whereby an expert engages with any of the LLMs on their field of expertise and is instantly horrified by the wrong answers, and then goes on to use it for things they are not experts in as though it won’t be just as bad for those.
A good reminder that claiming to want to target "the few bad apples" is, for far too many tough-on-crime types, not a sincere take but an effort to avoid doing anything at all.
Since this is an EO that is expressly aimed at making it easier for bad apples to infect new bunches.
“…spoil the bunch …spoil the bunch …spoil the BUNCH” she whispers demonically to herself every day until she finally succumbs to her madness.
I know that things are bad everywhere. But they keep taking my neighbors up here. And the people of the city are on it, and learning, and working together. But it’s so tough to be just in a constant state of bad that’s (intentionally, I believe) kept quiet enough to not break through national news.
Remember, ICE only goes after "the worst of the worst" -- murderers, rapists, drug traffickers and, apparently, Ivy League students cramming for a Genetics exam.
I really really really need people to read the details of this case and not just the part involving CBP.
