The thing about ICE is that eventually it WILL be abolished. I don't know if it will be in 5 years or 50 years but it will happen. With certainty. And when it does, it will be remembered along the securitate, Stasi, etc, and so will the people who served there.

1) DHS asks a federal judge for a warrant to hoover up private data from journalists, activists, and trade unions. 2) Judge denies because it is an obvious violation of the 1st and 4th Amendments with no justification. 3) DHS issues its own "Administrative Warrant" and sucks up the data anyway.

Trump’s DHS is using an obscure law to secretly snoop on journalists, non-profits and unions: ‘It’s outrageous’
Even after judges rejected the same ploy, the Trump administration is going directly to social media and telecommunications companies

It's so weird that Dolly Parton used her money to help ordinary people in a thousand different meaningful ways *and* lived an incredibly happy fulfilled life, almost like there's some sort of connection between the two. Anyway, let me read about another AI CEO poisoning a town for shits and giggles

Good time to note that Israel has at least 40 Syrian citizens in what is called "administrative detention" aka illegal arrest in a military prison without charge or any guarantee that they'll ever even have a trial. For some reason, these people are never called hostages.

1. Don't believe the headlines. Trump's $1.776 billion slush fund is not "dead." The Trump administration wants to the public to believe it's dead. But their ACTIONS tell a very different story.
