I like sandwiches, dice, cats, and lofi. I have a beard and too many pounds, and are therefore nearly indistinguishable from at least 70% of my tribe.

These are the conditions under which the Trump regime wants to detain noncitizens indefinitely. It violates international law, the Eighth Amendment, and our own laws & regulations.
And the DOJ and DHS are willing to manipulate any law, defy any court order, to keep doing so.

And even when we move at warp speed and outpace this regime, DHS doesn’t care. They’ve moved people to Texas hours or days after being enjoined.
When ordered to return them, DHS just… doesn’t. The AUSAs let them: when we notify them of a violation, they send the email equivalent of a shrug.

Meanwhile, DHS shows its contempt for the judiciary in a different way. In dozens, likely now thousands, of cases, DHS openly defies court orders.
Minnesota courts enter orders forbidding ICE from moving noncitizens who’ve filed habeas petitions out of Minnesota. They move them anyway.

A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

Like, that's gotta be a rude awakening to go from having "near-idealized sweetheart kickstarter terms" to hearing "this is toast" to "we can resurrect it, but you'd be getting a flat buyout / royalty on decent game industry terms", no question.
But, simultaneously, they ARE decent industry terms.
