I really think we should stop calling them ICE. They are an unaccountable political militia waging war on Americans.
A federal judge, in a published order, so very much on the record:

“ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
A-telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

This is wild! "The Devil Went Down to Deep Gap" Bryan Sutton with Billy Strings.

It's a re-imagining of the Charlie Daniels song with the Devil (Del McCoury) going down to Deep Gap where he encounters Doc Watson.

my 75yo mother told me last night that she’s planning to delete Instagram and Facebook because she’s sick of not being able to tell what’s AI and what’s not, and I genuinely don’t think tech companies have reckoned with this kind of move as an actual possibility

@ncrabbithole.com Hey Jeremy! When you moved over to Beehiiv it seems the RSS feed URL changed. I was pulling Rabbit Hole stories into an RSS reader when you were on Substack, but now that you've switched, the ncrabbithole/feed URL doesn't work any more. Do you know if there's a new RSS feed URL?
