You don't need to be an anarchist to think that ICE should be abolished
You can be a good governance liberal who thinks that the agency has demonstrated an institutional disrespect for the Constitution, and therefore advocate for unwinding the agency and rolling its functions into a revived INS.

ICE have revealed themselves to be nothing more than the partisan militia of MAGA. When Trump became president, he did not "execute Order 66." They have been yearning for the Day of the Rope since their founding, and all Trump did was give free rein to their basest impulses.

It's very important that you put two-factor authentication on your reddit account because otherwise someone else will do it for you. Reddit was pretty responsive but it still takes a while to delete even just a few hours' worth of NSFW-bot posting. And the DMs.

I don’t think I’m being hyperbolic when I say that the guy who replaced real doors with barn doors in hotel bathrooms should be drawn and quartered. Fuck that guy, I hate him

Immigrants of a hundred nationalities and ethnicities flocked to dying rural towns to take hard and low paying jobs. They brought life and prosperity to these towns, and in thanks, the native population voted to destroy it all and ruin everyone’s lives.
Tyson Foods is closing its beef plant in Lexington, Nebraska, laying off 3,200 workers next month in a town of just 11,000.

This is huge. Trump has successfully prosecuted a state official for bucking his racist war on immigrants. If they can get a judge, they can get anyone. Gift article.

Wagner’s point about visionless neoliberalism is true but I don’t think the outrage over the White House’s destruction is mere platitude, but rather the start of a reinvigorated liberalism returning to basic liberal values and civic virtue. The flattening of intra liberal debate weakens the piece

We will continue releasing photographs and documents to provide transparency for the American people. It’s time for the Department of Justice to release the files.

Dershowitz is so clever, finding a way around the 22nd amendment. But there’s another amendment he hasn’t considered that bars a 3rd term. It’s the second one.

Can’t emphasize enough how the accuracy of lay people‘s criticisms of AI cannot be used as an argument against them when proponents show, time and again, that they ultimately believe themselves to hold a superior moral mandate over all of society, no matter how trivial or obscure the issue.
Despite a vote, Jason Clinton, Anthropic’s Deputy Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and a moderator in the Discord, overrode them, members tell us.
When users confronted Clinton he would not submit to mob rule, and explained that AIs have emotions.

The ”I hate to break it to you…” framing has gotta be the top 3 cope in these repeat discurses because it’s a redirection every time of the actually existing behavior and development of these companies and the deployment of their products. It is always inevitable, you will never have a true choice.

“I don’t enable Trump. I just defer to him entirely and never contradict him.”
![Excerpt from Vanity Fair article on White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
Wiles told me in March that she had difficult conversations with Trump every day.
"They're over little things, not big," she said.
"I hear stories from my predecessors about these seminal moments where you have to go in and tell the president what he wants to do is unconstitutional or will cost lives. I don't have that."
Wiles said Trump has been clear-eyed about what he wanted to do, "having not been there for four years and [having] had time to think about it." And therefore she can pick her battles.
"So no, I'm not an enabler. I'm also not a bitch. I try to be thoughtful about what I even engage in. I guess time will tell whether I've been effective."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jsoyj57afwgl7utgcvvtsy25/bafkreia7zy76mnphs66dnzzbdlwrgfootftokihxmgfuwqr3z4uogpjm6a@jpeg)

“Your honor, the People have discovered a scrivener’s error in the jury’s verdict. It appears they mistakenly wrote ‘Not’ in front of ‘Guilty.’”
The immigration “judge” allegedly sua sponte — meaning without any request by a party, which is obviously a lie given the circumstances — “corrected” the 2019 order to fix a “scrivener’s error” and order Mr Abrego Garcia deported.
Not surprisingly, Judge Xinis blocked that. What a corrupt act.

Whether done out of self interest or principle the 21 republican state senators in Indiana did a good thing by standing up - finally - to a dictator when they joined democrats to kill this power grab. Their reward for doing the right thing is being subjected to death threats from their own voters.
It looks like ~30 no votes, so Indiana is rebuffing Trump's demands for a gerrymander!

Once again, for 2028 I'm a single issue voter and that issue is post-Trump lustration. GTFO with "better angels of our nature" for once.
They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
