Same thing is happening to me. Right now my TikTok feels like a completely different algorithm with stuff I would never watch. Can’t see videos of people I follow. If I look up Minneapolis, it glitches many times before showing it and then says no internet.

Scott told us about being taken, driven around til the agents figured out he was a U.S. citizen & not their alleged target, then dropped back off at home w no apology.Came back later and ICE was back, idling in the street.

State violence in the US condoned from the very top. Anyone claiming to be moderate or centrist who doesn’t think ICE should be abolished is just firmly right wing.
Trump: "I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis. It is a horrible thing to watch. The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting ... "

Alright, Venezuela and Greenland, hear me out. Get annexed and get 2 senators each. Have them vote with democrats to destroy the filibuster. Pass all the good stuff other modern democracies have. Pass election finance reform and gerrymander reform, then pass a law that lets both countries go. Deal?
Way down the list on how insane and evil this is, but... just a point of con law trivia, I guess: the president doesn't have the power to annex territory. Like, even assuming we militarily occupied it. Just on the domestic law angle, it still wouldn't be "part of the US" w/o Congress saying so.
TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?
MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO
T: So force is on the table?
M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

DirectFile, free covid tests via USPS, child tax credit: federal programs that worked and benefited ordinary people and therefore had to be ended in case everyone got used to it
It sucks because Direct File was one of the first times a lot of people ever had a positive experience using a government website or service.
IRS Direct File dies a sad, quick death after only a brief time among the living.
Why? It's not because it's a bad idea or that it didn't work.
It's because TurboTax's parent company spent decades trying to make sure they controlled the e-filing market:

The networks took the much smaller Tea Party movement so seriously they broadcast a Tea Party rebuttal to Obama’s 2011 SOTU on top of the normal GOP one.
Reminder: We spent YEARS reading thousands and thousands of articles on the Tea Party and how it was a true expression of the American people's will, and it never mounted anything nearly as big as Saturday's No Kings rallies. [1/3]
