I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

We have to get members of Congress inside these facilities to report on what’s happening. It’s essential for human rights reasons - this surely isn’t good - and it’s also good politics, because whatever they find is going to be bad enough to further tank support for immigration enforcement.
BREAKING: On February 2, Sec. Noem issued a memo asserting the lapse in appropriations for DHS meant there is no Sec. 527 — the provision protecting congressional oversight visits to immigration detention facilities — and she was issuing a new (third) policy requiring seven-day notice for visits.

TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trump‘s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer.

Bullshit scare tactic. ICE can't handle a single city, imagine them trying this shit nationwide in every city and town at the same time. They don't have enough resources, they don't have enough thugs.
Breaking:
The White House press secretary just said she "can't guarantee" that ICE won't be around polling locations in November.

Honestly I think if the Dems could somehow win a mask ban for federal agents, I think it would be a huge start. The impunity these dipshits feel being masked up is palpable.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Extremely incorrect take that you see way too often. A key component of nonviolent protest theory is that people who want to ignore “politics”will see an oppressive state’s violent crackdowns against non-violence, and that will move them to the side of the nonviolent.
Non violence works when the aggressor respects the rule of law. America's laws seem to disappear when one party is power

This is an actual post from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: Praising ICE after Alex Pretti was killed, blaming the Democratic leadership of Minnesota, and writing that ICE is greater/better than Minnesota.
He is actively demeaning the people of Minnesota just hours after Pretti was murdered.

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street
Minneapolis police chief Brian O'Hara says that the victim was a 37-year-old white man and US citizen with no criminal record and that he was a legally permitted gun owner.

Per this report ICE has detained several witnesses
ICE attempted to order local police from the scene of the Minneapolis shooting, but the police chief refused and instructed his officers to preserve the crime scene.

Basically executed by firing squad. Vance and the administration’s cronies coming out and screaming that ICE has absolute immunity after Good’s killing was an open declaration that they terrorize and kill as they please.
The StarTribune live blog is paywall free:
- The man shot by federal agents this morning has died
- Several witnesses have already been transported to the Whipple building.
- ICE attempted to order local police from the scene, but O’Hara refused, sources said.
