speaking as a virginia beach native if these kind of dudes are plotting against ICE then there is wide runway in public opinion for straight up abolishing the agency under a dem presidency
Kempsville High School assistant principal charged for threats against police, ICE
Virginia Beach assistant principal John Bennett and Mark Bennett charged for conspiring threats against police and ICE agents. Both are held without bond.

Once again the Trump regime fails to do things Reagan considered common sense! Part of how Reagan crushed the PATCO strike was calling on military air traffic controllers.
Sean Duffy: "The secretary of war texted me yesterday and said, 'I might have some air traffic controllers. If you could use them, I'm gonna offer them to you.' I don't know that I can, Jake, because they're not certified in the airspaces that we need them. But if I can, I'm going to use them."

I edited the Variety section of my college newspaper which covered student life and entertainment. The name was derived from the venerable magazine. I always thought that was a pretty cool albeit extremely attenuated connection to real journalism. But now I'm just so embarrassed for them.

This, in particular, is spectacularly hideous. It's like something you'd see on the wall of a car dealership where they put pictures of their top salespeople every month

What a loser. Read Stanley's rationale for leaving and tell me if it is in any way laudable.
Jason Stanley isn’t afraid to use the F-word when talking about President Donald Trump.
The author of How Fascism Works and Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future is clear: He believes the US is currently under an authoritarian regime led by a fascist leader.

I study fascism. I’ve already fled America.
On this week’s “More To The Story,” former Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains his recent move to Canada and calls the Trump administration’s takeover of the US government a “coup.”

On the bus tonight some costumed college kids were explaining how to trick or treat to one of their party who had clearly grown up in another country. The one kid asked, "So just one house?" "No, many houses." It was the cutest thing. Everyone within earshot smiled. That's what we're fighting for.

My favorite part of this is Mace’s claim that Tim Scott would not be treated like this. Correct! He is a U.S. Senator and is therefore entitled to a modicum of respect based on his office. A member of the House is not. I would not hold the elevator for a member of the House.
It seems this was all about not having a police escort from the curb to the gate? In a podunk airport?

It’s almost like the law doesn’t apply to Trump.
Here's the thing I don't understand. You can't as much as sneeze near a historic site in Washington without like 14 commissions, councils, and advisory boards giving you the okay. And everybody now is like...yup, fine with us? wtf?
NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

If anything were to move me to the dark side it would be this stupid discourse about DeCA. You know what, actually it does seem crazy there are subsidized military-only supermarkets with their own supply chains in places like Virginia Beach and San Diego where there are normal grocery stores.
Someday, we're gonna find out that the decisionmaking went like this:
Mamdani proposes city-run grocery stores. Conservatives say it'll never work. Mamdani supporters point out that DOD runs a bunch of grocery stores. Hegseth decides to close them to own the libs.

I know these guys are all dumber than a sack of hammers, but it is fascinating to see the military decide “logistics are gay” in real time
