Okay. The world can see this. Why it so hard for 30% of Americans to continue holding out hope a leopard will change it's spots?

They're gonna start picking people up on their way to their swearing in ceremony. Or even on the way out.

He wants 3,000 arrests per day. That's over a million in a year. There are already thousands of American citizens who have been picked up, on top of all the LEGAL immigrants. What'll they have to do to reach their 3,000 a day quota?

Gee, they're really piling it on to fix it in post.

In just the past 14 days, Russia attacked Ukraine with 2,800 strike drones, nearly 3,000 guided bombs, and 140 missiles of various types. European allies' fighter jets remain comfortably parked on their respective airfields because [insert rationalization for cowardice here].

50 years passed from the rise of Nazism to the fall of the Berlin Wall. And here we are, trying to do it in 6 months. That's that American optimism for you.

The world is so crazy Rand Paul sounds rational and sane, even. I'm sure he'll return to his old self by the time corrective regime change has taken place.

It's shocking that they would do this, but it doesn't come as a surprise: ICE is denying entry to a player with Boca Juniors for the FIFA World Cup. Probably the first of many.

I still think it's funny that there's a parking lot for hunters + gatherers.

Oh I like this!🤔👏👏

Thousands of citizens have been snatched off the streets + denied any sort of due process because ICE operates under a guilty until proven innocent mandate. There's nothing to stop that from extending to all arrests (except the law, but they've exempted themselves from having to follow the law).

Think they'd send out the same message for the Scottish Highlander Games or the World Bowling Championships? Howzabout the US Chess Championship?

Here's the fun participatory part: anybody can order a bunch of ICE jackets, get your buddies together + stage a raid at, oh, say, your local marijuana dispensary or Tiffany's or where your ex works. Then disappear into the night, and nobody is the wiser.

It must be a mixture of amusement, astonishment + disappointment to Putin that Western democracy crumpled so easily.

We interrupt our regularly scheduled doomscrolling to take you to Highway SP 477 in Perugia, Italy. Looks to be pretty quiet, with a very good chance there's no cell phone service.

So, will they keep arresting Democratic members of Congress one at a time, or quicken the pace + round up the rest of 'em in one fell swoop?

What happened to Senator Padilla is absolutely DISGUSTING. Point blank, period. This shit is out of control. Another elected official disrespected while doing their job. (1/2)

It does, though, explain some of her behavior.

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

The ideas the right decry as “woke” and “DEI” have always been in art and media. It’s reactionary hate and intolerance instead that have been normalized and emboldened since 2016. Clip Source: @blurayangel on IG

At least 60 days? You know, the National Guard have full-time civilian jobs + families, too. This administration won't send out the National Guard to assist in a REAL emergency, but they're going to spend the summer in LA ...sleeping in tents?

From space the hand of humans isn't visible in Yosemite Valley. So this is pretty much what it looked like before humans, and what it will look like after humans.

There's a more accurate accounting of what's happening on the streets of Kyiv than there is for Los Angeles.

The protests are taking place around a few effing blocks in the Civic Center in downtown Los Angeles. It's not one tenth the size of the January 6 insurrection.

Go over the utterances of the current governor of Florida if you need to arrest someone.

Facial recognition software famously has a poor success rate with melanin, which means they could be rounding up people who had nothing to do with the protests.

The House of Representatives is looking to repeal police accountability laws? While the administration pardons the insurrectionists who attacked + caused the death of police officers on January 6? If this makes sense to you, hang up and dial 911.

The irony of this administration holding a business investment roundtable when their policies discourage business startups. Actually, that should read prevent business startups.

What if Waymo cars were ordered up, say, in Washington DC on the 14th, and get in the way of the parade?

Could you imagine Richard Nixon, the previous most law breaking president, doing any of this shit?

Art Linkletter famously had a class of students recite the Pledge of Allegiance; then parsed out what individual students were actually saying. While the whole was unified, some of the kids turned out to be mumbling their way through it. It was all quite amusing & a very popular show.

When thousands of US citizens are being swept up in immigration raids, and they know it, it ain't about immigration. It's ethnic cleansing.

There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."

I'm worried in that anecdotal information is starting to come at a quickened pace. There's not a lot of substantiation in some of it. These people are good at sowing false information + fomenting fear. There are bound to be red herrings of all kinds over the next few days.
