I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Elon Musk has a brilliant plan to bring airfares down. He decided that if we had more crashes, people will be afraid of flying. With fewer people flying, fares will come down. And people doubt that Musk is a genius!

This paper is both enlightening and rigorous. I really enjoyed its high level discussion of the infrastructure of power and agency in a world in which private authority over money trumps public authority.
As the Trusk regime is wrecking the state apparatus that brought us the IRA, it's more urgent than ever to understand the politics of green macrofinancial regimes.
