Florida Highway Patrol said this back over the summer -- people who stare at a cop OR who look away; if you speed up OR slow down; if you look TOO relaxed or TOO anxious.

They claim the right to stop anyone and demand their papers based solely on the discretion of masked, cos-playing thugs who've decided you "look scared" or are "gripping the steering wheel tightly."

Miller is telling us, "Brown people today, the rest of you tomorrow." Listen to his words.

Border Patrol's Gregory Bovino: "We need reasonable suspicion to make an immigration arrest. Notice I did not say probable cause, nor did I say I need a warrant? Perhaps you look panicked when you see a Border Patrol agent. Perhaps you look scared ..."

So they scare people and then can arrest them.

Imagine being a Taliban war vet trying to brag to your kids about defeating the USA and they just roll their eyes and are like "Yeah, good job beating *those* guys, Dad," and show you the latest news. Like, fuck, you thought you were hot shit dodging all those Apache gunships and Predator drones.

New: Apple banned an app that simply archived videos of ICE abuses. Rather than other apps that record ICE official's real-time location, Eyes Up is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." Videos from TikTok etc. Every submission manually reviewed

Taught today on administrative burden in health. We discussed Medicaid work requirements in AR, GA, and the OBBBA. And I had the students get in groups to brainstorm strategies that states could adopt in implementing this new (bad) policy that would minimize burden and wrongful coverage losses.
