This, combined with "vice signaling" (taking pride in antisocial behavior) has given us the reign of the Stupid Asshole, something most people are against, but can only be remedied if we're not too polite to talk about it
Dawg it really feels like baby boomers are metaphorically locking us in the house with them, burning down the house, and shooting at the fire fighters
When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.
And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.
The entire millennial identity is being prepared and groomed for a version of the world that stopped existing by the time we reached it
we slammed into a horizon painted on a brick wall like fucking looney tunes
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
Only 2 months into 2026 and the president has achieved so much. Waging war on Venezuela, Minnesota, and Iran, while covering up his alleged role in a child rape syndicate, is a lot.
It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...
wow its almost as if the entire American conservative political project is designed to cause intentional misery & death, like a death cult, just so that they can then generate some political benefit from creating scapegoats for the misery they deliberately inflicted

Last night my state Rep. @aishagomez.bsky.social delivered a guy-wrenching tribute to Minnesota's fight against federal oppression.
It's a must-watch but this was my favorite part: They call us paid protestors because they can't conceive that we love our neighbors enough to stand up for them.
Anyone in Minnesota will tell you that this matches the eye test. They are simply grabbing anyone who's not white. Full stop. There is no other strategy to this at all. It's a racist, heinous federal occupation.
Dismantle the agencies.
Prosecute everyone involved.
Redistribute all the funding.
Something I've been trying to impart on people is that the ICE occupation in Minnesota is both an ethnic cleansing and an ideological terror campaign. It's clear that the second part has utterly failed; the community is not terrified. But ICE is now desperately trying to salvage the first part.
Pivoting my national newspaper to fash opinion sludge and some AI-related handwaving, on account of economic headwinds and also because neither I nor anyone in my cohort of elites knows how to read.
The Government makes the point that some of the attorneys currently are under extraordinary strain, and you are obviously telling that to this Court understanding that the operation that explains this process is not an operation that is driven by the Federal Courts. I do accept that Operation Metro Surge has generated a volume of arrests and detentions that has taxed existing systems, staffing, and coordination between DOJ and the DHS. I read that in your papers. I understand that. I also don't have any reason to take issue at this
time that individual attorneys, including those appearing here, are working in good faith and under difficult circumstances. But those facts, even taken as true, do not answer the legal problem that it presents for this Court. If the Government undertakes an enforcement operation of this scale, one that results in the detention of large numbers of people, including individuals who are lawfully present in the United States, then the Government assumes a corresponding obligation to ensure that each detention complies with the Constitution and with court orders governing release. Volume, that is, the volume of cases and matters, is not a justification for diluting constitutional rights and it never can be. It heightens the need for care
Having what you feel are too many detainees, too many cases, too many deadlines, and not enough infrastructure to keep up with it all, is not a defense to continued detention. If anything, it ought to be a warning sign. But what you cannot do is to detain first and then sort out lawful authority later. Continued detention is not lawful just because compliance with release orders is administratively difficult or because an operation has expanded beyond the Government's capacity to execute it lawfully.
detailed release requirements are the source of the problem. In many instances, I have had to not just issue an order, but another order, another order, another order, about 7 or 8 different touches sent to the Government simply asking for the date, time, and location of the release of someone who was ordered released, in many instances, a week or more in the past. And why that is so difficult, I cannot understand, because there's obviously a person associated with the Government who is going to the detainee to release him or her. You have their name. You can carry with you a form. The name is on it. Just write the time on it and send it to the DOJ. That cannot be a reason, a source for this problem of the noncompliance because that's too easy to fix, and I don't even work for the Executive Branch. But the requirements that the Court has in place exist because individuals were being detained without lawful authority, they were being transferred contrary to orders, or released in ways that undermine the relief that was granted by the Court.
Judge Blackwell continues:
"Having what you feel are too many detainees, too
many cases, too many deadlines, and not enough
infrastructure to keep up with it all, is not a defense to
continued detention. If anything, it ought to be a warning
sign."

Please don't report this as a straightforward business story; it's a story about coercive social transformation being imposed by people so rich they've ceased to see the rest of us as legitimate stakeholders in our own lives

BREAKING: Judge Jia Cobb issues a TRO blocking DHS Sec Noem's Jan 8 memo purporting to require 7-day notices by members of Congress to perform oversight visits to immigration detention facilities.
The effect is that congressional oversight visits are allowed on request, as is required by Sec. 527.

The Minnesota v. Noem hearing is beginning before Judge Katherine Menendez.
Minnesota, Minneapolis, and St. Paul are seeking a TRO today to stop Operation Metro Surge.
Come together for what? Progress towards what? Iβm genuinely asking. The federal government is murdering Minnesotans and disappearing our neighbors. So if any of these CEOβs want to explain to me personally what I β as a state leader β should ask the federal government for, Iβm available.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.β¨β¨ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.
