To all the open source developers who put hours and hours of their lives into a project they built, put it out into the world, and now it sits with approximately zero users.

Small group still on top of the steps, most people still observing. Cops aren’t pushing out, might be waiting for backup, there’s only four of them.

This is the exact sense of community Republicans only pretend to want because there are too many non-whites involved. They hate it. They fucking hate this joy and camaraderie.
Don't let the right-wing media fool you. This is what Minneapolis looks like right now.

Fun fact #7 most States receive federal funding to run Joint Task Forces and "intelligence fusion centers" with state & federal & local law enforcement together, but state and local agencies are under no obligation to continue these arrangements

Fun fact #6, States have the power to enforce their traffic laws against private rental vehicles whose plates have been removed or altered.
A Hertz rental driven by an ICE agent is not a G.O.V. it's a private vehicle
Local governments can offer bonuses to tow truck drivers for enforcing this law.

Fun fact #5, while States cannot force, say, utility providers to deny utility services to federal facilities (intergovernmental immunity doctrine), States and localities *can* effectively deny NEW projects and permits by tying them up forever in zoning and land use permits (the Yucca Mtn strategy)

Fun fact #4, the Supreme Court's "anti-commandeering doctrine" holds that States can refuse to enforce federal laws or administer federal programs if the federal government cuts State funding.
No state or locality is required to house federal prisons or enforce federal law with their own resources.

Fun fact #3, the California state legislature could, if they wanted, pass a bill next week that imposed a 75% sales tax or use tax against hotels and car rental agencies who provide GSA rates to out-of-state federal law enforcement. They could aggressively enforce it.

Fun fact #2: Most state constitutuons grant the state the authority to impose and enforce exorbitant sales taxes and use taxes on private contractors doing work for the federal government (such as federal prison contractors, car rental agencies, and private airlines who contract with ICE).

Seen some people suggesting the new shooting video is AI because you can see a dinosaur in the background at one point. But, uh, there’s just a dinosaur on a car on that street. Here’s Google Street View.

We just chased off ICE from taking 2 young men by our public housing high rise and then immediately ran off another convoy from the target at the Quarry. Activity is very high today, we need people out patrolling and protecting their neighbors defend612.com

remember even in good circumstances orgs take about a week to act, in depth news takes 3 days and then about a week and a half, party politicians and anyone who needs to consult Legal about two weeks.
they can go faster but that rough napkin math proportion hasn't really changed across the year.
