there is no comprehensive list of dangerous criminal undocumented migrants. nor are there many of them in the country at all. “mass deportations” are by definition gonna be almost exclusively peaceful immigrants and sweep up LPRs, people on visas, these are the easy people to locate!
This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

A few days ago ICE grabbed a British woman who was holding her 6 month old child.
Now they’ve deported a woman to Honduras who’s 8 month is left behind
She was at an appt for a work permit when they asked “is that your baby? Are you breastfeeding?”
She said “No” to breastfeeding and they took her

This was inevitable! The vindictive administration and their allies have been playing games with the National Guardsmen and now here it is, people are dead
The shooting of two National Guard members took place on 17th Street NW, between I and H streets, about two blocks from the White House. https://wapo.st/48irgBT

just one reporter hitting trump with a “hey man fuck you” would speed things up by at least a few months, depending on the delivery. the delivery matters a lot

Most people have no clue how to properly dress and cook a Sonic Hedghehog and it's perfectly fine to go with turkey instead. It's the holidays, the point is to bring people together not worry about getting every single thing just right.

93. It's Thanksgiving week so here's a slasher set over Thanksgiving break on a deserted campus. Haley Bennett must elude a group of overly online thrill killers. Slim and to the point but not without some thought put into it. Great hide-and-seek and chase sequences with a solid setting to match.

If a local police department assists ICE in kidnapping people, are they eventually going to be held criminally liable too? Accountability must happen. We can't bend the knee to fascism and police who assist are as culpable a anyone else.

SCOOP—In August, nearly 200 current/former FEMA staffers published the Katrina Declaration, a whistleblower letter detailing all the dangers posed by current leadership.
All current employees were put on indefinite leave, and now I've learned one has been fired in violation of federal protections:

It appears to be a major violation of federal whistleblower protections and constitutional rights.

The CDC has turned off its vaccine search tool.
The vaccines.gov site now gives an error when you enter a valid zip code.
They also removed text saying “Vaccines can help you stay healthy” and added a banner saying the site is being updated.

OpenAI says they aren't liable for the suicide of a user their chat bot urged to kill himself because suicide is a violation of the TOS
Additionally, OpenAI argues its not liable because Raine, by using ChatGPT for self-harm, broke its terms of service
