not to venerate the founders but this is at most half a step away from one of the big things they declared war on the british empire for. and given how well ICE hotel stays are going maybe they’ll get to quartering soon enough

My god. The memo cites one case...which stands for the proposition that YOU DO NEED A WARRANT!
This is insane. INSANE. Without any legal basis at all, this memo says ICE doesn't need a warrant (or probable cause) to break into someone's home to arrest them. It's like a memo that says, "Actually, you DON'T have the right to remain silent."
ICE secretly told its officers that any time someone has been ordered removed, ICE can break down their door.
It has been accepted for generations that the only thing which can authorize agents to break into your home is a warrant signed by a judge. No wonder ICE hid this memo!

The long term impacts are irrelevant to them, because the people making these decisions are just doing it to loot shit right now. They know they won't be around to see the long term impacts. And the people executing their decisions are happy to do it for scraps.
This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Everyone keeps saying "No one is coming to save us!" but I think it's a distinct possibility that whoever did this is coming to save us.

There have already been 25 data center cancellations or postponements this month, according to @macroedgeres.bsky.social.
That's nearly as many as the previous 6 months combined.
