Strong odds that it's leftover warm weather formulation when Northern hemisphere refineries are shifting to winter formulations. Russia needs to get rid of it so they have storage capacity open for winter diesel. The refinery campaign has been hitting storage as much as refining.

There's over 10 million people within a 150 mile radius of the Field of Dreams site. There's only about 400,000 people within that distance from Yellowstone. I bet that 150 miles is an easier drive to Dyersville than it would be to Yellowstone.

I think the drivers' app shows them the passenger's name before pickup so the driver can confirm the name. Seems likely that if it's Shiv's name that this driver didn't like he would have canceled the ride before driving to the pickup. Even bigoted drivers want to maximize their paid driving time.

So if you hear someone saying that he brought this on himself by not cooperating, that this guy should have complied with illegal orders, remind them that ICE is acting outside the law and asserting authorities they don't have.

But especially ICE, which enforces civil laws regarding immigration, does not have criminal law enforcement powers.

No federal law enforcement agency has general policing powers. No federal agent, even the real law enforcement agencies, has the authority to demand that you identify yourself unless you on or in the immediate vicinity of federal property or the agents suspect you, with probable cause, of a crime.

ICE has no authority over US citizens, not even authority to demand identification. The burden is on the ICE agents to positively identify as a non-citizen the person they want to detain.

He's obsessively tracking details of things he has no authority over. It's like obsessively checking weather updates on a storm happening somewhere else. There's nothing you can do, nothing you see will be cause for action on your part. Maybe it gives him an illusion of power.

How does this fit with jurisdictions that require all parties to consent to recording? It's recording all the time, and the user will only ask for consent (hahaha, definitely they'll ask yeah) when saving a recording. But the recording is already made, without consent.

If a person who isn't affluent still has a car their grandparents bought 60 years and they've kept it in good shape so that it happens to be valuable now, are they obliged to sell it? It's not a moral failure for poor people to have nice things.

"[Miami] doesn't have the urban traditions . . . ." Tradition requires, and begins in, the past. That Miami is dominated by stroads and freeways now does not mean that it always was, and it does not mean that the present situation is immune to change.

That the state of Florida destroyed the urban traditions Miami had built doesn't mean they never existed or don't have bones still in place, and it doesn't mean that good planning and investment can't revive those bones

But all those terrible justifications to deprive someone of citizenship after they've passed the vetting process aren't the main reason that taking away citizenship is wrong. It's wrong, full stop, to take citizenship away once it's been granted. It is declaring someone an unperson. 11/11

And the reality of de-naturalization efforts in the US, going back to the Obama era, is that the targets are not gross transgressors abusing the process to hide abhorrent crimes against humanity. The targets are people who did not know that they were "defrauding" the naturalization process. 7/11

assurance is make against re-offense. In our current system, our punishments are clumsily limited to imprisoning the transgressor. That is still better than denying them nationality, and better than refouling them to a country where they face danger. 6/11

And where the circumvention or fraud is significant and consequential, we must pursue the perpetrator and punish them as we punish anyone who commits a major transgression against society. In a better world, that would mean a restorative process that ensures the transgressor makes amends and 4/11

Stripping citizenship, denying a person the right to nationality, is inhumane. For all those examples I mentioned where a system can be circumvented or defrauded, we must accept that some degree of unintentional or petty circumvention will happen, and we should ignore that. 3/11

It's true for political candidates. The solution isn't to make the vetting tougher, because it can never be tough enough. The solution is to make consequences for serious violation inevitable. But those consequences can't transgress the bounds of how we treat each other as people. 2/11

Any process can be circumvented by a sufficiently committed person. Making a process "hard enough" inevitably makes it far too hard for all of the regular, honest folks who need to go through it. This is true for public benefits. It's true for immigration. It's true for employment. 1/11

Citizenship must not be revocable. Losing citizenship has real potential to put people in danger. Someone lied on their citizenship application? That's a crime. Prosecute and punish them. I mean this for people I don't like too. Musk is an awful person but the fix for that isn't denaturalization.

Several months later, the service rate bumped up about $15. No explanation, no warning. Just "we're taking more money." Then again after a few more months. And again. Rate went from ~$70 a month to ~$120. And then it almost doubled, to over $210 a month. Astound is *not* worth $210 a month. 3/3

And 2 years later the charge came back. I called, asked WTF I had you take this off the service. Answer? Well, you never sent the router back to us. Despite having been told they don't want it back. Happy luck I was too lazy to get rid of the router. Ship it back, charge stopped again. 2/3

Absolutely! I got their Eero wifi router when I signed up. It was garbage so I told them I didn't want that part of the service, and asked if I need to send the router back? Answer was no, they don't care. The wifi router rental dropped off the bill. 1/3
