What’s funny about The Acolyte thing is that it was a show without much of a political slant and had really the best Lightsaber scenes in Star Wars history but the right wing outrage machine killed it because of black

Meanwhile, they looked the other way while Andor straight up radicalized everyone
Yeah ok. Seems bad. But at least the acolyte… bsky.app/profile/carl...

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." …
She offered me $2600 to self-deport.
I refused.
I wanted to talk to my attorney.
They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

“Feeling incredibly frustrated and put-upon in my job with the Totenkopfverbände.”
A bizarre number of people have stepped up to defend Julie Le. What you see in that transcript is an attorney who chose to do evil work—deporting people for ICE then moving over to DOJ in early Jan. specifically to fight these habeas petitions—being called to the carpet. She's desperate, not heroic.
If you want to read the transcript of the February 3 hearing where Julie Le had her "this job sucks" meltdown, now you can:

that stage of society when school children share the bond of having endured the camps together
The two children who returned to MN today say they saw one of their Valley View schoolmates at a detention center in TX. This is a child whose family was last in contact with the school on January 9. No one has known where they were until now.

If you’re a democrat who has dreamed of fame and power, even of being President of the United States, there has probably never been a bigger open door to walk through to that dream than right now. Guys like Josh Shapiro cannot see the door, you don’t have to get in line!
Yes. Yes! Thank you

A part of the AUSA story I’d like to hear is if part of her breakdown is realizing her work is going to make her a permanent pariah in her community. She was previously an attorney for ICE and then came out of private practice to help DOJ. And now she’s the public face of what everyone despises.

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons.

Striking from new Quinnipiac poll:

*Voters prefer path to legalization over deportations for most undocs by 59-34. Among independents it's 61-33

*Majority says Trump on immigration is making America less safe

Again, there's broad rejection of the whole project, not just ICE tactics (see below)
