I can’t not believe how hard it is to sleep when you’re watching your country, be dismantled by the dumbest people.

Yes. And I'm just spitballing here, but I'm going to guess that they get an exemption. Zero proof.
Just my guess.

Vance is responding to a purported quote from Joy Reid THAT SHE DIDN’T SAY.

Left is Vance quote-tweeting a BS MAGA account. Right is my transcription of the video. She’s talking about HER PARENTS’ EXPERIENCE OF RACISM NOT HERSELF. SHE’S QUOTING HER MOTHER.

Vance didn’t listen / doesn’t care.

....
Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country.
It's been overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most. Yet she oozes with contempt.
My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much happier person if you showed a little gratitude

I absolutely agree. But I don't think that a sociopath like Noem can be embarrassed.

Oh, and ICE has apparently released an enemies list, including ~30 Democratic politicians.

Two.

Two 'suspected' gang members.

Performative abuse. Rappelling from helicopters. It's absurd, but it really happened.

And, obviously the babies that they took were clearly gang members.

DHS says an operation last week in which agents raided a Chicago apartment building, rappelled in from helicopters, broke down doors and detained numerous residents, resulted in the arrest of two suspected gang members.

Now that's interesting.

I figured that the Cupertino to Menlo Park corridor would have a different deal, but that was just an assumption.

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

In July, we documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office.

ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.”

You can judge for yourself.

I'm awake well before I want to be (not yet 5 am).

I'm pretty sure that only dogs, dog owners, and footballers will be out in Calgary weather, too.

Life in the foothills of the mountains is great (1hr to Banff).

Until it isn't. 👀

Time to get the rest of the tomatoes and carrots from the garden.

The FBI has cut ties with the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights organization that tracks extremist groups, after conservatives criticized the nonprofit for including slain right-wing activist Charlie Kirk's organization on its list of hate groups.

I'm not happy about a former mayor of SF (of all places) throwing under the bus a small percentage of the population who are just trying to live their best lives.

But I do agree with much of this post.

I also think that Pritzker is one to watch.
