We don't just call it the plagiarism machine just because it's built on the stolen work of authors who weren't compensated. It vomits out plagiarism. It can't think. It can only regurgitate.

Again, there are obvious rhetorical and psychological tactics for the opposition to use, that most are not using. Dark Gavin being a notable exception, with taking Rump's post calling him President, at face value. That is the kind of response we need more of. It's a way to take the gloves off.

One thing I can't seem to understand, legally, is why a federal judge can't order DHS to allow any member of Congress to enter any ICE facility unimpeded, even without notice of arrival. Congress represents the People. They are how we learn truths about our Government. It's their duty to inspect.

There seems to be zeitgeist about how fucking misogynistic ICE–and this regime–is in general. I have so many dozens and dozens of threads I've written about how misogyny is often the engine that feeds this nightmare of fascism. Stop ignoring us.

The shooting was murder. But refusing to allow an ambulance and a doctor from rendering aid is what will send them to prison. You can't block an ambulance, I don't care who you are. If the EMT who was driving the ambulance testifies along with witnesses, they're done.

Adjacent but separately, I believe that it's a whole message of misogyny in general: They hate women, and are acting on it with impunity. It's not just *this* family, but the women ICE picks up are handled with exceptional violence.
