Same. I will commute by train every damn day and work with a smile on my face.
I will immediately resign from my corporate gig and take the attendant pay cut if a future D POTUS offers me a DOJ spot persecuting members of this Administration
Honestly a federal commission with prosecutorial authority paired with stripping immunity from ICE officers would be a huge wombo combo

The Boston Massacre, a famously pro-cop protest in the colonies.
Attorney General Pam Bondi: "Our country was founded on law enforcement"
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"

Shutdown demands should go beyond ICE/DHS/CBP. This administration is illegitimate. You can't allow Trump to go on deposing world leaders in the global south, threatening allies, throwing a grenade into the global economy, and destroying the institutions that protect our health.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

I had a tweet at the time saying Blue Lives Matter was the most openly fascist thing I'd seen in America in my lifetime bc it was responding to Black Lives Matter by saying "no they don't, and in fact your murderers are our heroes" with a little sticker you could put on your fucking pickup truck

So I have a case that's eating my brain and I have to talk about it.
Facts are fairly straightforward: Cop pulls vehicle over claiming erratic driving (dash cam doesn't support this). Inside are two men: Driver and Client
Cop pulls DL for driver, turns out he has a warrant. So far, so normal.

The Principal and the Pauper is a perfectly cromulent half hour of television and no more continuity breaking or misplaced than any of the other non (or quasi) canon Simpsons episodes.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
