2,000 new ICE agents.
Now with sights. So they can park a dot on people who may or may not be US citizens.
So they can more accurately terrorize and I assume "accidentally" murder people in the streets.
Instead of just in their terrifying internment camps.

I actually think it's time to bring back the approach of curated lists and webrings from the early web again. Huge opportunity space for hand curation of information
In an age where AI slop websites have made entire categories of information difficult to find, what we need is Yahoo (or Dmoz): a human-curated list of reliable websites, organized by topic.

🧵FEMA workers are calling it a “New Year’s Eve Massacre”
In the final days of the year, the Trump regime began issuing termination notices to FEMA’s Cadre of On-Call Response and Recovery, known as CORE.
These are not distant bureaucrats.

Time to stop concrete riverbanks and restore natural rivers. Concrete riverbanks destroy ecosystems, worsen flooding, and cost billions in long-term damage. When riverbanks are restored with vegetation, rocks, wetlands, and floodplains, water slows down naturally.

Contrast this with how this same administration has revoked visas for researchers studying how information ecosystems are manipulated (including by foreign actors like Russia). Seems strange that they welcome back the manipulators and attack those working to identify and call them out.
Exclusive: A year after Tenet Media was busted for funneling Russian money to MAGA pundits like Benny Johnson and Tim Pool, a Trump administration effort involving State and the FBI has welcomed Tenet's founders back into the US. @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/lauren-che...

How is this legal? Not only did ICE seize a father and husband who was excited about having a nice Christmas dinner with family. ICE stole his groceries and split them up with his fellow ICE thieves. ICE Gestapo is a roving band of violent criminals stealing with zero fear of arrest. #ProudBlue
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

The most corrupt presidency in American history.
GOP operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, convicted election fraudsters, were paid $960,000 in the second quarter to secure a pardon for a former nursing-home operator who defrauded the government of $38 million. Trump pardoned the man, Joseph Schwartz, last month.
