CBP at the border gets up to things like shooting teenagers in the back without consequences, so this cannot be the end goal.
Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:

DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools

"That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod:

I happened on this right before I saw the story I linked right before this post from Texas Monthly and a reporter from there being repeatedly pulled over.

Taco editor José R. Ralat's work for Texas Monthly demands hundreds of hours on the road each year.

For him, being pulled over by immigration-enforcement officers has felt like an inevitability for months. https://www.texasmonthly.com/food/taco-editor-stopped-by-ice/

If you need something to watch that takes you out of current events for a bit, I highly recommend this series, start one and it will suggest another & when it’s done - hit play on another. Extremely wholesome.

That headline seems a bit… fishy.

They seem to have corrected it in the story though.

I am playing an NHK (Japan public broadcasting channel) video about the history of gyoza and the narrator said “In the 1930s many Japanese resided in Northern China.”

And why were they there? Just gonna elide right over that, huh? Ok.

Shocked the *fuck* out of myself with static electricity just now, checked my air quality monitor & the humidity is a 23% in here, when it is usually around 65%

Time to break out the very piddly essential oil mister and put just water in it and pretend it might help.

(It will not help)

This snowmageddon has been good for my culinary practice. Made Napolitan for the first time, was out of mushrooms & had to use soba noodles instead of spaghetti noodles but it turned out great!

We have a constitutional right to document and record ICE and other federal agents in the act and it's more crucial than ever as the Trump regime lies about victims of its cruelty.

I am mostly atheist with a side order of animist witch these days, but I know there are definitely Christians (and other religions!) speaking up and putting themselves on the line in this.
Okay, since I’m in a mood, do you know what is annoying mild *annoyance* about all this, rather than a gut-wrenching crisis?

I’m not a Christian but my sense of fairness keeps requiring me to defend the church because people keep posting shit about “Why aren’t Christians speaking up?!”

To be clear - the detainees were the ones protesting - including children.

This Buddhist prayer is deeply on my mind:

Metta Prayer
May all beings be peaceful.
May all beings be happy.
May all beings be safe.
May all beings awaken to the light of their true nature.
May all beings be free.
