Also seems like a lot of the deaths are more likely to be tied to the violence and abuse they were protesting in the first place, rather than a specific reaction to their involvement in the movement.

The problem seems to be less them wanting to die valiantly, so much as they want to watch others do that through their phones.

I dont know if you can call NOI left per se, they have a ton of extremely reactionary oppinions that caused the scism with Malcolm X in the first place, but correct otherwise.

BUKHARIN: yes mr prosecutor i did indeed like and retweet that meme. and i deserve to die for it. but just to be clear, the meme was from an irony account run by a group of reactionary bundists, not romanian fascists. and wario was supposed to represent hitler, not our beloved general secretary.

ICE administrative warrants aren’t issued by immigration judges, and immigration judges aren’t part of the Judicial Branch.
Q: You're a constitutional lawyer. Can you detail the 4th Amendment protections someone has if ICE approaches their home w/an administrative warrant?
MIKE JOHNSON: When ICE goes to execute a warrant, it's issued by an immigration judge, & that is a sufficient legal authority to go apprehend someone

Hanoi had the second most advanced integrated air defense system on the planet, second only to Moscow. They had an air force with (at the time) state of the art Soviet jets. And I'd also argue that the VC did kind of fill the villian role compared to the conventional NVA.

Zuckerberg alone has burned 10s of billions (if not hundreds of billions) of dollars from Meta into stupid vanity projects, and no one can stop him because of how the shares are structured. Force the dude to cash out and/diversify, unironically, for the good of the economy.

For me I think the biggest danger is a sort of Congress, Anti-Congress forming where neither recognizes the other as legitimate.

The thing here is that it is the individual states that certify their elections, and I have a hard time seeing Newsom, for example, allowing Rs in CA to be certified if Texas is doing some form of chicanery with their certifications.
No need to rig the vote if the result is never certified...

I still remember the indignity my then 88 year old grandmother (who is basically Evelyn Normielib) had when I pointed out that under current immigration laws her parents would have been illegal immigrants.
I genuinely have no idea how to convey this to the American people, but I think the biggest impediment to any kind of immigration reform is that people are convinced that "legal" and "illegal" are immutable, intrinsic categories instead of a rapidly-shifting arbitrary constellation of regulations.

The other thing is this lets Dems cut DHS off from the rest of the government. In 2 weeks if a deal isnt reached, ICE gets stuck without regular funding while SNAP payments keep flowing and air traffic controllers keep their paychecks.
