This is not factually correct. Texas and Florida are arresting thousands of people with their state and local police and then detaining them for DHS. Yes, DHS is targeting Democratic states and cities, for deployment, but that does not mean there aren't arrests every single day in every state.

James is one of the people who helps maintain/protect the memorial.
He's been out here every day for the past 2 weeks and 2 days, from 10am til midnight.
He lives in the house behind him.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Not seeing a ton of discussion of it on here, but it's likely that we're within a couple of days of seeing the final end of the Syrian Civil War. (Barring another internal coup within the YPG that forces Abdi to renege, again, on a deal with the STG).

I think some of the issue is that yes you do bonk the apes on the head with things to stun them, but that’s why they wear helmets. The franchise thought of every problem anyone could have with beating animals as the central gameplay mechanic.

This is such a foolproof premise for a game that I don’t know why we haven’t gotten one a year for the last 30 years. They wear little helmets and you chase them around.

Deeply important to understand that Trump never jokes. All of this stuff that started as a joke and then became real was never a joke. He always says what he wants to do and people SAY it's a joke because they're too callow to acknowledge that he's the most ignorant, vicious person alive.
![NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreie7itpptx3xbxhpsnlaqmwk752h7pcrion5ija2apksljtax2adx4@jpeg)

You know, many of us said the post 9/11 War on Terror measures were Orwellian bullshit at the time, from DHS to ICE. The Patriot Act was chilling as well.
Some of us objected vociferously. Perhaps we didn't have the mics or the power, but we remember 2001-2005 as a terrible time in this country.
