Tortured logic from John Yoo, but that’s how he likes it.

Is it just me, or has autocorrect on iOS gotten notably odd? Typed “Hike” and it autocorrected to “Like”. *Just* typed Typed, and it changed to Types?
At Whipple where expired dicks are being thrown at ICE vehicles and those believed to be agitators. The area has been a place of protest since thousands of federal agents arrived in the city.

thanks. However, wait times are still north of an hour (and the “your wait time” message is a joke). I mean, if a private sector vendor had this nightmarish of an implementation, there’d be a BIIIG stink. (BTW, Clipper should be on Bluesky)
@mtcbata.bsky.social, you realize that Clipper card is exceptionally non-functional? Site/app lost both my cards, then brought them back. Email response is slow, chat is non-existent, and phone, well, 15 minutes after it telling me my wait time was 45 minutes, it told me my wait time was 54 minutes.
Abolish ICE. Abolish CBP. There - easy.
Exactly right.
Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign.
Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE.
Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.
Every possible angle.
Excellent read. "You can’t reform a concentration camp regime. You have to dismantle it and replace it. We have a thousand ways to do it. And most U.S. citizens—particularly white ones—have the freedom to act, for now, with far less risk than the many people currently targeted."
This is beyond shocking - how can this be allowed to happen? Why on earth can’t they be released on bail? They have a right to a fair trial, appropriate medical treatment, & the removal of punitive Prison Service conditions. Govt’s ban on Palestine Action is simply intolerable
In Casablanca (1942) the opening scene depicts nazis demanding to see papers then shooting a man who runs away. However, it’s slightly more complicated because the man wasn’t cooperating and the officer was practicing self defense.
Oakland CA? Can’t DM you for some reason. Out of town now but back in a few weeks.
Donate if you can! I did…
Really, now is the time to do this. And if they leave, hey, net positive.

Actually somewhat-massive news, COCONA, one of the members of the all-Japanese based-in-Korea group XG, has come out as non-binary transmasc and having had top surgery
Which for an active idol in either country is just unheard of, never mind one at such a big group. They look amazing!
Two screenshots. Top is homeland security post saying “Want affordable housing? Help report illegal aliens in your area.” The bottom is excerpt from a speech by Hitler in 1922 in which he says Adolf Hitler speech, 1922 8. WE DEMAND IMMEDIATE EXPULSION OF ALL JEWS WHO HAVE ENTERED GERMANY SINCE 1914, and of all those, too, who through trickery on the Stock Exchange or through other shady transactions have gained their wealth. 9. The housing scarcity must be relieved through energetic action; houses must be granted to those who deserve them. Eisner said in 1918 that we had no right to demand the return of our prisoners - he was only saying openly what all Jews were thinking. People who so think must feel how life tastes in a concentration camp! Extremes must be fought by extremes. Against the infection of materialism, against the lowich nockilone we must hold olof o Homina ideolAndif othere
DHS’s post suggesting “if you help kick people out of the country you’ll be able to afford housing” is OG Nazism.
Hey, if you've been holding them since just after the Tulip bubble crashed, at least you've got long term gains.
Just picked up a Canon Serenar 35mm f2.8 and rangefinder, excited. Also, +1 on the 50mm f1.8 Serenar, it’s lovely on my Canon III
'“People read Foucault,” the redoubtable David Brooks once wrote ... “and develop an alienated view of the world.” Not by, like, trying to pay rent or having an insurance claim denied—no, no, it was probably the Foucault you read in 2003. '

“New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and as of tonight, led by an immigrant… So hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.”
Plenty of reasons to find another music streaming service - ICE ads are just one more to find another one...
Stephen Miller says that he wants to build a fascist totalitarian police state. Democrats agree that this is what he wants to do. The truth is more complicated.
Hey Folks, I have a new protest song out- With Castle Canyon and Erika Von Völkyrie on vocals. Big glam rock Queen/Bowie build. Give it a spin. Start making your signs! Don’t take the fascist bait!

MIT's response to the Trump admin's proposed "compact" is excellent and should be a model for other universities. orgchart.mit.edu/letters/rega...

You’re gonna start getting your ballots. Vote YES for prop/ state measure 50, (it will be titled differently in different counties.)
Vote as soon as you get your ballot so that phone calls and texts can be directed to people who need more convincing.

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity.
Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute.
Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections.
But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents.
The legacy of the Roberts court.
