The chasing goose meme, two panels.

First panel: goose looking suspiciously at someone off-screen, asking "who was antifa against in Weimar Germany?"

Second panel: goose chasing man, shouting "who was antifa against in Weimar Germany, you fucking Nazi?!?!?!"

ICE: take us seriously, we're cosplaying as soldiers as we brutally execute immigration law.

Portland: we're going to dance in front of your building in a rainbow unicorn cosfume.

Portland Mayor Wilson says he's interested in taking over the lease of the city's privtely-owned ICE facility -- a suggestion that came from DHS. (And he rejects feds' ask for "free speech zones" where ppl can be penalized for protesting outside of.)

Hey, you guys? Is it a good sign or a bad sign if the prosecution is just getting its hands around the evidence *after* it criminally charged the former FBI director?

Anna Bower @annabower.bsky.social · 8h

At one point during the hearing, the judge asked the prosecution why the case can’t be tried before mid-December.

Lemons replied: We are “just getting our hands around” discovery in the case.

There’s lots of it, he added, and it includes a “significant” amount of classified information.

So this is funny.
The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis

In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are “immediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.

Ellis rules that the plaintiffs have standing for their case. She cites the "ongoing and sustained record of conduct" by federal agents gathered over the last month.

She further finds the plaintiffs have plausibly shown feds have "frustrated" efforts to "protect journalist safety."

300 members of the Oregon National Guard and 300 more of the California National Guard will temporarily remain Federalized, but will not be deployed to Portland, per an administrative stay just issued by the Ninth Circuit.

FWIW, the panel is one Clinton judge and two Trump judges.
