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."

Talking about the “national order” in a country heavily invested in concepts like freedom and independence is weird and off putting.

On the other hand, has a major sports franchise ever really lost value? Maybe hanging on to ManCity for a decade is not such a bad idea. If they can get back up to the premier league they can sell it off to another group of billionaire investors.

My guess is we’re in for another 2wks of Trump spewing Russian propaganda and ranting against Zelensky and then he’ll move on to another topic, hopefully GOP losses. Nothing will change— there will be no ceasefire, no Ukr elections, no Ru advances. Just more Ukr civilians murdered by terrorussia.

Again, one of the HSI agents who lied was the guy who snatched Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, which is what led to the tussle that led to @replamonica.bsky.social's arrest. I think if we had all the evidence of corruption we have now her selective prosecution claim would have worked.

Because I'm a nerd, I often think about how King Edward VI got infected with the measles which wiped out his immune system. He immediately caught smallpox and both infections helped activate a latent case of tuberculosis. He died of TB a year later. The boy king could have used an MMR vaccine.

The sci-fi fantasy that AI hucksters use to fool people into thinking there can be manmade intelligence is that it goes all the way back to 1818, with the publication of "Frankenstein." In the very first version of "AI," Mary Shelley got something fundamental about the desire to believe.

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

She said: Promise made, promise kept.
I said: Katie Miller is not going to do very well in a deposition.

Probably a good time to remind that the logic behind the Klan Act lawsuit Renee Good's family filed against Jonathan Ross, Stephen Miller, and Tom Homan (among others) is that they're knowing depriving Somali-Americans of their civil rights. emptywheel.net/2026/10/04/c...
