If there's ever been a time to NOT be incrementalist, this is it. The most political capital you're gonna have is right now. And we got Gestapo death squads in MSP and TB spreading through concentration camps in Texas. If you can't find a win there, get out of politics. The Epstein Class, baby

They say the police department is “underfunded” but could spare eight (8) police cars to follow about 30 people doing a one mile parade, who were not causing any problems and not having any conflict with motorists.
Hyde Park was a scene of cold Carnival Cheers as a group of unknown celebrities and protesters brought their "Snoo Krewe" energy across the neighborhood. Trailed by five police cars who just ran the patented "annoying sound", the ragtag group brought the New Orleans energy to a frozen Saturday.

AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past.
It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.

BREAKING: A 5th Circuit panel has backed ICE's mass detention policy, a decision that clears the way for the administration to lock up people who are in immigration proceedings
It's a 2-1 ruling

I have made... a mistake. Each auction lot had 8-12 photos, so I assumed that was the number of pieces in the lot.
It was merely a sample. Each lot contains 100-ish pieces.
I won three lots.

It doesn't "turn out" -- they've been very open about what is automated and what is not -- and they aren't being "controlled".
Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”
