The application to be a federal corrections officer now has several essay questions, including one (#7) in which applicants are expected to explain how they would advance the president's executive orders in the role:

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

The acting head of ICE couldn't believe that I would question his agency's use of masked, unidentified agents to sweep up student immigrants during *police week*. Have I no sense of patriotism????

The proposal includes sample language for a “Treaty of Cession” so that a portion of the prison complex can become U.S. territory, arguing that “transferring a prisoner to such a facility would not be an Extradition nor a Deportation.” Once the land is owned by the U.S., the proposal says it will be leased back to El Salvador to run the prison complex and urges the Homeland Security secretary to “suspend the ICE detention standards” to avoid questions about detention standards established by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Bureau of Prisons.

Trans women in Florida prisons now have to get breast exams to figure out whether their breasts are big enough that prison officials think they should get to keep their bras.

Cruelty against criminalized people is, unfortunately, one of the only common threads holding the American electorate together

In his 2011 book, Ron DeSantis waxed apocalyptic about politicians like Jay Rockefeller who supposedly wanted to "shut down news organizations." Not only has DeSantis not said a peep about the Trump administration's statements, he was also lying about what Rockefeller said.

Florida Tries a Subtler Way to Curb Progressive Ideology: Cut Sociology Conservatives in Florida have moved from explosive politics to subtler tactics to uproot liberal “indoctrination” in higher education by removing subjects like sociology from core requirements.

"The Florida Board of Governors eliminated Principles of Sociology from the core requirements...'They’re starving undergrad enrollment in our courses. The worry is they’ll then be able to take away whole programs and justify it by saying courses aren’t filling up.'"
