Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

It is incredibly frustrating that all I can do is scream at my two perfectly useless senators while these MAGA fools go out of their way to inaugurate a truly chaotic multipolar era that has a decent chance of killing all of our children.
It's just madness. Absolute madness.

I have lived in DK for 20~ years.
The last 18 days the DK & US relationship has plunged from "ok, we can handle Trump for now but we hope Americans choose differently next time" to "so, war? OK. No, do not invite the US to a party commemorating DK&US history held since 1912, in fact cancel it"

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)

An embarrassingly obvious point, but...
This. Is. Illegal.
If anything like the rule of law were in force, Trump couldn't arbitrarily increase a tariff because he is annoyed.
In important and increasing ways, the rule of law in the US no longer exists.

This is the use of the military for domestic law enforcement; I don’t see any other way to describe it.
California National Guard troops under federal control were sent to operate in "the greater Los Angeles area." What the actual definition of that area is for Task Force 51 is isn't clear. But apparently it includes the Salton Sea. New from me @taskandpurpose.com taskandpurpose.com/news/nationa...
Guardsmen sent to LA are 130 miles east of the city doing drug busts
It’s unclear how many National Guardsmen participated in the operation, but the force totalled roughly 500 people.

I'm not a New Yorker, so I don't get a vote, but I think being a serial sexual harasser should be disqualifying from public office--even if the other plausible candidate is a little further away from you on the political spectrum.

Between this and the Venezuelan TPS ruling, #SCOTUS has now cleared the way for removing more than one million non-citizens who, until now, were *legally protected* against removal.
This also ratchets up the stakes in the "third-country" removal case, since many of these folks *can't* be sent home.

And, for Canada, this is not, primarily, a tariff story! It's about the threats of annexation, diminishing our sovereignty, using tariffs to cripply our economy, consciously destroying a very old and close partnership.
