there's simply no adequate political response to this that isn't based on fully destroying the people and party responsible for it

Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water. These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested. They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.

It’s not for me to say what DGA should do but just as a matter of power analysis I think Dell and Boots are right on this.
Boots Riley @BootsRiley

If DGA has its members not show up for any ABC/Disney/Hulu/Marvel show until they reverse the Kimmel decision, they'll reverse the decision within hours AT MOST.

DGA has only gone on strike once. It was so powerful it only took 19 hours til demands were met.

Tired, had a hard day with some odd nausea, so I wore Five o’ Clock Au Gingembre as my #sotd to cut the ick. Ginger has a great anti-emetic effect - even the smell makes me feel better. The scent is sweet, fresh, and light.
Picture of Five O’ Clock Au Gingembre’s accords and notes, from Parfumo. It is rated as spicy, woody, sweet, gourmand, oriental and fresh, with notes of candied ginger, bergamot and spices (there is no progression, these notes all appear at once).

A Texas lawyer gave some informal advice to undocumented immigrants. He later had unidentified agents from ICE show up at his door. A tech oddity: His Wifi went down right before the officers' visit and came back soon after, meaning their visit wasn't recorded. open.substack.com/pub/radleyba...

Agree and I think one reason for that is the trauma’s still accumulating. The data on long-term symptoms from reinfection is rough; a big number of people are still getting sick and staying sick, while the culture broadly insists everything is fine. There’s just so much that’s unprocessed.

The second infection was also tied to a 50% or greater increase in several specific long-COVID conditions, including myocarditis and fatigue.

also worth emphasizing that U.S. policing is *unusually bad and incompetent.*. British police have fucked up plenty of stuff - see the Spy Cops scandal - but not on the routine and enormous scale that U.S. cops do.

The U.S. Postal Service has quietly begun assisting Trump's 'mass deportation' effort, sources and records show www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
The law enforcement arm of the U.S. Postal Service has quietly begun cooperating with federal immigration officials to locate people suspected of being in the country illegally, according to two people familiar with the matter and documents obtained by The Washington Post — dramatically broadening the scope of the Trump administration’s government-wide mass deportation campaign.The U.S. Postal Inspection Service, a little-known police and investigative force for the mail agency, recently joined a Department of Homeland Security task force geared toward finding, detaining and deporting undocumented immigrants, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of professional reprisals.

Immigration officials are seeking photographs of the outside of envelopes and packages — an Inspection Service program known as “mail covers” — and access to the postal investigation agency’s broad surveillance systems, including Postal Service online account data, package- and mail-tracking information, credit card data and financial material and IP addresses, the people said.
