Maryland, New Mexico Become Latest Blue States to Ban Local Contracts with ICE
Governors Lujan Grisham and Moore signed laws barring local sheriffs and police from partnering with ICEβs 287(g) program, joining eight other states with similar prohibitions.
The Maryland Democratic House majority leader says that he is well aware of the risks of federal retaliation for the stateβs efforts to restrict local collaboration with ICE. βBut nevertheless, weβve got to do the right thing,β he says.

The DEA exported those jobs. Drug warriors restricted access to Sudafed cold medicine years ago to suppress small-scale domestic production. That handed the meth market to Mexican traffickers who produced it on an industrial scale & shipped it back to the US by the ton. Just brilliant!

Hereβs a piece I wrote in 2007 about how an over-reliance on militarized drug war tactics has basically thinned out the herd and ensured only the most efficient and adaptive operations survived. Weβve been selectively breeding highly evolved supertraffickers for decades. Sit this one out, Stephen.

Sanho Tree you asks the right question:

Because thatβs exactly how a Christian nationalist project reads in the Middle East.

I'm unsure how people really think people were downplaying a virus that can kill you, make you go blind, wipe out your immune system for years, and oh yeah come back and kill you a decade after you thought you'd shaken it.

If they start targeting each otherβs water desalination plants, the region may end up with tens of millions of thirsty refugees. Trump is playing a game of Mutual Assured Destruction with a culture that glorifies martyrdom. What could possibly go wrong? Β―\_(γ)_/Β―

If it feels like Trump appointed the most incompetent people imaginable to run the federal government, itβs because that was the plan. Bannon and the Broligarchs wanted to smash the administrative state and rebuild it in their own corrupt fascist imagine. Each department head was a wrecking ball.π§΅

Lindsey Grahamβs Quest to Sell Trump on Striking Iran
Few others in the presidentβs ear argued for the attack as effectively as South Carolinaβs senior senator.
If a US Senator wants the US to go to war against another country, he should introduce a war authorization and push for a vote in the US Congress.
Not subvert the Constitution to achieve that end.
