VA Secretary Collins just told RM @repmarktakano.bsky.social that VA doesn't have enough clinical employees. Then why are there more postings on USA jobs right now for ICE & CBP than there are for VA doctors & nurses? Why did VA just wipe almost 30,000 vacant VHA positions off its books?

I saw this video on Dust a week or so ago, and then I noticed people talking about the book, although it came out last year. Is this the best marketing ever?

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

I went to the same dentist for years in my 20s and 30s. I left because he made disparaging comments about women, and I called him on it, told him he was being “sexist.” I remember his assistants freezing as I said the word.
Funny story! He’s in the Epstein files!

"The authority the political branches possess over immigration does not include the power to seize liberty first and justify confinement later. Due process is not a courtesy extended at the government's convenience. Due process is the condition that makes custody lawful in the first place.”
Another memorable ruling out of West Virginia, where Judge Goodwin — a Clinton appointee — excoriates the treatment of ICE detainees.
"This is not what civil enforcement looks like in a humane system of government under law."

Resistance to the building of concentration camps is of the utmost importance. Salute to every person doing their part to say not in my community.
A 920,000-sq-ft warehouse in south KC could detain up to 8,000 people. Port KC says that’s not what it signed up for and has now cut ties with the developer, citing misalignment and poor communication.
