every dhs employee should have all of their assets seized, down to the clothes on their backs, and then be sent into exile
"Her family has now been told she has been deported, despite US District Judge Brendan Hurson ruling Thursday that she could not be deported pending a hearing...attorneys said Monday that they have...confirm[ed] with the hospital she was born in Maryland." https://bit.ly/3MMdJvz

fun suburb fact: assuming this all holds up, looks like there's no more mandatory empty parking lots at woodfield mall
I just published a new version of the People over Parking Act map that includes a bunch of cities that will have parking mandates removed around transit.

It was kind of complex to implement the statute using gtfs, would definitely appreciate some peer review!

Anyone who sends people to concentration camps to be tortured should be tried and, if found guilty, hanged like the Nazis they are.

You can very clearly see why someone whose job it is to protect war criminals would need this pulled from the airwaves: It’s visible proof the Trump administration is operating concentration camps.

wait…my god, is that damnatio memoriae’s entrance music playing?!
He’s gilded the entire White House, slapped his name on both the Kennedy Center and Institute for Peace, installed a new Trump Gold Card, and now proposing a new “Trump class” of naval vessels.

I know we keep saying this is insane but this is seriously fucking insane.

Petrostate politics. This is what happens when you embrace the "energy dominance" of fossil fuels.

Remember, too, that the Abundance bros embraced Burgum. When Burgum was appointed, Yglesias said he was "a totally solid pick who'll do good things."

And he wasn't alone.

These are quite clearly not the same photo. Clinton's face is partially obscured by Jackson's in the one from the Epstein archive.

20K reposts for this, but the premise is false, and I suspect the conclusion is as well.
The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Suburban blindness is so deep, even major cultural touchstones about the banal evil of suburban high schools like the Breakfast Club are totally misunderstood as *defenses* of suburban life.

Testifying now:

Judge Dugan's clerk of court Alan Freed

Surveillance footage shows him saying something to a federal agent in the hallway.

Asked what he said, Freed replies: "I called him a fascist."

Stephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety.

We spent weeks reporting on Miller's real aims. Here's the result. We hope you'll read:

The Constitution guarantees your right to follow, record, protest, and notify others about the agents and what you see. These are core First Amendment rights, and DHS has clearly ordered its agents to threaten and violate those rights. cato.org/blog/dhs-pol...

On Dec. 4, DOJ labeled people who impede or "dox" ICE agents "domestic terrorists." I document how DHS believes following, recording, and protesting agents is "impeding," and has a policy of threatening & arresting ICE observers. That's unconstitutional. www.cato.org/blog/dhs-pol...
