This is why domestic "shuffle" flights between ICE detention centers have skyrocketed, much moreso than ICE deportation flights.
When you are moved to a different jurisdiction, you have to refile your habeas petition all over again. They want to wear people down so they'll give up on their cases.

Once you notice society's base reluctance to refer to women as "geniuses" with the same frequency they do as men, no matter how talented or influential she may be, it's a thing you never really stop noticing.

I thought about why I’ve been pushing back on stolen midterm fears. What’s the harm of worry, even if it doesn’t materialize?
It’s this. The regime has less capacity than it’d like, and tries to make up the difference with bluster. If people act as if it’s true, that grants the regime more power.

Can we stop using the term "pussies" to mean "cowardly" in this year of our Lord 2026? In this female-hating age, where middle-age women are on the front lines against fascism, let's stop using our genitalia as a form of insult.
