Dear ICE, Just following orders is not a legal defense. “The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant, and so devastating, that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored, because it cannot survive their being repeated." - (Jackson) - Nuremberg Trials

At some point the people are going to start shooting back. (Not suggesting or supporting it but human nature and history guides this kind of thing). You can only push someone so far.

@davidlsims.bsky.social @theatlantic.com Love your list of the best 10 films of the decade so far but there is one glaring omission: Anora Hilarious, heartbreaking, timely, and some of the best acting performances you’ll ever see. Movies don’t get much better than this.

It’s disappointing that the networks are choosing to air the Trump propaganda ads. I’m wondering if they could be charged with receiving stolen property since they know (should know—same thing legally) it’s illegal under the Hatch Act (and others). The networks are taking our money to air them.
