An interesting and fun fact is that according to @ezraklein.bsky.social, World War II was merely the logical end product of Nazi Germany experiencing affordability problems. In fact they were right to invade everyone else to solve it.

My son is doing math homework and the question is saying a kid tracked how much milk her father puts in his cereal each morning.
"Um, why would you even do that? That's pretty weird."
You know what? That's fair.

I am nearly positive that this is my high school AP American History teacher and track coach! If it is, he has a long fuse. I've NEVER seen him even upset, much less this angry.

Things we learn:
1. Bovino's existence is the result of chain migration, which MAGA wants to ban
2. His family arrived legally under an immigration law MAGA wants to repeal
3. His father killed a woman while driving drunk, a crime for which MAGA aims to deport immigrants
And much more. Read it.

Greg Bovino’s the star of Trump’s deportation show. We trace his roots.
As a boy, the Hollywood movie “The Border" set the course for his life. He couldn’t believe the Border Patrol agents in the movie were the bad guys. Now that he’s in charge of deportation efforts caus...

If Greg Bovino does not go to prison for the rest of his life after this regime is ousted, we do not have a real country or rule of law. I'm skeptical we still have either at this point, but that will be a good indicator post Trump regime of whether we have serious people in charge again

This can't be fucking legal damn it. Bovino better have his fucking papers on him.
A reminder that most Americans who are life-long citizens have nothing OTHER than a Real ID to prove their citizenship. This is CBP’s chief enforcer saying that ID doesn’t count.
Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

It should be against the law, punishable by de*th, to write a law that falls under the category
-sloppy-
-sloppy-
Highly dependent on state. Every state defines "social media" differently; I'd say about 60% or so do it sloppily enough that a lot of blog systems are swept in. In some states it would come down to "do you have Google Analytics installed or not".
