Ms Rachel from the top ropes
From Ms Rachel's account on Threads, she writes, "CORECIVIC, a company that makes hundreds of millions locking up KIDS in immigration detention
has a PAC that's sending campaign checks to Senator Susan Collins of Maine.
Susan Collins chairs the Senate committee that writes ICE's budget.
ICE is CoreCivic's customer.
The company gets paid out of a budget she controls, and it pays into her campaign."

I just don't care about any ~law enforcement~ story coming out of this administration because the idea of this man enforcing laws is preposterous on its face. We're talking about an arsonist doing fire code inspections. You're a sucker if you engage with any of it in good faith

Larry Krasner needs to be the AG. That guy will bring the stockades back for the crooks in the GOP. He is the opposite of Merrick Garland. And he would happily be the sin eater for the more squeamish members of the administration and party leadership.

Heck of an interview choice on that topic. Embarrassed for the show, tbh. It brings a LOT of their guest choices into question, especially given the line…

I do think a lot more of the squeeze required for this juice is heavy real world testing of some of the more esoteric edge cases…it’s not enough to say it’s thoroughly tested in the software sense, due to how it needs to be relied on.

Virtue signaling is good*, actually, because it signals an endorsement of virtues. Given the tremendous right-wing effort to signal and perform vice (televised executions, racist politicized raids, denigration of empathy, etc.) turns out we cannot actually take "lip service to virtue" for granted.

No, have some principles! Immigration is not the problem! I'm all in favor of prosecuting the heck out of Elon for other stuff, but we must work to restore "the lamp beside the golden door." That is more important than using immigration law in particular against our enemies.

There was no pre-existing legal basis for the Nuremberg trials. It was simply acknowledged that what the Nazis did was so self-evidently evil that they must be held to account

“I have done everything humanly possible to give the government the benefit of the doubt in this case. I have done it repeatedly.” Why would you do that, judge? Did you think they deserve it on the merits? Did you expect that to get them to respect adverse rulings rather than take it as permission?

Pretty clearly, a prepared party in the US system couldve completely captured the state. Like immediately. And globally we all need to be thankful they put 20 year old dipshits in, and it turned out even the federalists in DoJ have some moral scruples.

What I want from the next Democratic administration is to put as many of these people in jail as possible. What I want from the upcoming Democratic majority is constant investigations that exposes as much of their criminal activity as possible for the next Democratic DOJ to use in indictments.

We've been boiled frogs for so long this never gets mentioned. But this violates DOJ policies that have been in place for decades, ones that Defense Attorney Todd Blanche said should have extended for the entirety of the time his client had declared his candidacy. (Tho I think this was DHS.)

The @houstonchronicle.com posted this video and it's pretty jarring. No matter that he was fleeing, law enforcement officers may not use deadly force on someone who poses no significant risk of death or serious injury to others. Deliberately hitting someone with a car is a use of deadly force.
