If your military is so fragile with supply chain depletion, you deserve to lose.

This is also true of companies and managers that do not staff appropriately and suddenly get cockpunched when key load-bearing workers disappear.

MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training.

FACT: Most have been racists their entire lives.

For decades lawmakers have funded and outfitted cops with military gear who are trained to unload on anyone for any reason they see fit, and now getting indiscriminately beaten and arrested by them is apparently the only defense from the actual military doing worse.

Dave Byrnes @djbyrnes1.bsky.social · 1d

Telling the federal court that IL police can handle Broadview was part of the state's legal strategy against national guard being deployed here.

But it's hard to square that as for the good of protestors or Illinoisans as a whole, when IL police are perfectly willing to drag and beat them anyway.

state police continue to push protesters down 25th street. at one point, cops swarmed a group of people and pushed them to the ground.

Like, sorry to folks who believe you should never criticize a politician you think does some good sometimes, but if they're in charge of the guys wearing brown shirts clubbing people with giant wooden bats and they're not putting a stop to it, they're doing something wrong.

I want to add this, because if you haven't been in this situation, maybe you don't know. When a cop in riot gear is shoving you and yelling "GET BACK," there's usually nowhere to actually get back to, because there's a crowd of people behind you and you literally can't move at the pace they want.

What they say while assaulting people is specifically designed to give them immunity (despite already having qualified immunity!) from their actions. The ISP is basically yelling "stop punching yourself" while attacking peaceful protesters.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

No institutional design can overcome a lawbreaking president, a Congress defending lawbreaking and forfeiting its own power, a Supreme Court that pretends legal text doesn’t count to facilitate lawbreaking, and a citizenry that votes for all that.
Need at least one that wants rule of law. Maybe two.

The digital Cyrano act only gets you so far, because you have to be yourself when you meet up in person.

And I promise, the new breed of glassholes are gonna learn that trying it in real time isn’t gonna help either.

Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you’ll never watch again, & one song you can’t stand:

- Cucumber anything. However you think it tastes, that is not how it tastes to me
- Farewell, My Concubine (Beautiful. Brutal. Once was enough)
- Collective Soul, “December”

Sens. Schumer, Merkley, Murray, and Peters are calling for the resignation of OMB Director Russell Vought.

"By impounding billions of dollars … and aggressively pursuing the illegal use of pocket rescissions, Vought has done everything in his power to gut the federal government piece by piece."
