I have some friends that worked on it & apparently it was unfettered access to the worst people behaving badly & without filter (racist senators, Melania’s boyfriend drama, infighting, etc) so a good portion of that $40 million might just be hush money to insure the raw footage never escapes.

a lot of interesting tidbits in this story about rep. lauren underwood’s visit to the broadview ice jail.

as always, take everything dhs says with a grain of salt. but it sounds like the feds’ terror in chicago is far from over.

chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...
The congresswoman told reporters she saw no detainees, despite ICE having processed some people in the Chicago area this weekend. The ICE acting director told Underwood the last time anyone stayed overnight at the facility was "a couple weeks ago." ICE officers told Underwood there were no detainees or staffers because they were "updating their systems and installing new security cameras." Underwood also staunchly warned that despite the departure of Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino from Chicago, targeted immigration operations in the area are not over. She also warned that staffing for Chicago-area ICE facilities is expected to triple within months — stemming from a $150 billion to $170 billion infusion of funding over four years to DHS from President Donald Trump's 2025 tax bill. Underwood said they are also pursuing contracts for temporary office space, potentially trailers near the Broadview facility. Underwood's office said the Broadview center will reportedly be used as a training facility for newly hired deportation officers. "That money is being spent here," Underwood said. "The staff footprint in this facility and Downtown, the Downtown processing center is slated to probably triple by January. ... They are increasing immigration enforcement at that rapid rate. The American people need to see what's happening in our community and the conditions under which people are being kept."

The depositions from the batshit CBP and ICE officials in Chicago have been unsealed. Here's how Russ Hott denied actually knowing anything about one of the weirder claims they made: that a protestor had ripped someone's beard off.

legacy.www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
Q Thank you. You say that -- in your 3 declaration that "There was an incidence where 4 somebody was pulling the face mask and personally" 5 -- "and forcefully ripping off an officer's beard." 6 Do you see that? 7 A Yes. 8 Q What does that mean? 9 A Well, there was an officer that was 10 wearing a gas mask and a protestor had ripped the 11 gas mask off. This officer had a large beard. They 12 grabbed it and forcefully ripped the beard out of 13 his chin. 14 Q His beard was ripped off of his face? 15 A Yes, a good portion of it. 16 Q Okay. Did you take any pictures of it? 17 A I did not. 18 Q Did somebody else? 19 A I'm not aware. 20 Q How do you know that this happened? 21 A From the officer reporting it. 22 Q Okay. Who is he? A I don't recall the officer's name. 2 Q Was it somebody that you were familiar 3 with before you began work on Midway Blitz? 4 A No. 5 Q Do you know whether a report was written 6 about this incident? 7 A I don't know that. 8 Q Do you know whether or not the person who 9 allegedly ripped off an officer's beard was charged 10 with a crime? 11 A I don't know that specifically.

There are more people organizing and pushing back against the regime today than there were in the first term. There are more people in more places (rural towns and big cities across the country). I think it's really strange how resistant some people are to these facts. I wonder what's going on.

Ok BlueSky: what are your favorite history books in terms of sheer page-turning, narrative propulsion? Thinking along the line of Killers of the Flower Moon, etc. Nonfiction chronicles that read like novels or movies.

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor
Polymarket tweets: "BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani to require all New York elementary school students to learn Arabic numerals." Laura Loomer replies: "You know things are bad when you can't tell if this is real or a joke. Dear God. It's real. Isn't it?"

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made.

Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊
Nerdy kid at keyboard: Hi guys, I've noticed that it is International Men's Day today, and I'm confused. Why do we need a day to talk about men? We're not a marginalised group like women, queer people, or people of colour. The media is already full of stories about men. Big buff shirtless dude at keyboard: I'm glad you asked, champ. Whatever your view on men's place in society, it's still true that we face a lot of issues - like social isolation, risk of suicide, health problems, and attitudes towards sex and child rearing. Having a day to talk about those doesn't take away from anyone else's problems. In fact, having a day to talk about them helps us be more mindful, and listen better at other times. Second shirtless buff dude on a couch at his laptop: The chief here is really on to something. I want to echo what he said, and also point out that the idea we should remain silent about our problems actually contributes to a lot of our issues. We are human beings, with human needs. Seeking mutual support and understanding isn't the same thing as placing a burden on others. Especially if we're providing it for each other. Third buff dude at his laptop: Right on, my fellow kings. We've inherited a social legacy of competition and division, and a lot of what makes a man in our era is under question. IMD is a chance for us to examine and rethink what we are together, and build the bonds of solidarity and support that will make a better way possible - like in this meme. Because in our hearts, we're all curious kids and buff guys on keyboards.

If I can give 3 pieces of unsolicited advice to people facing ICE/CBP:
1) go outside
2) meet your neighbors
3) be loud

They want you to be isolated and afraid so they can work in secret, control the narrative, and act with impunity. They lose power when we see what’s happening and to whom.
