Westboro Baptist Church tried to make an Anti-Luigi Mangione poster but it just looks like Luigi is threatening billionaires and goes unironically hard af

Kiddies who made it out of the ICE dungeon report sighting a schoolmate. Before this, the school district had no information on their whereabouts. The family has now been connected with a lawyer.

Youngsters who escape a govt dungeon are the only way to track abducted children? This is fine!

The Government makes the point that some of the attorneys currently are under extraordinary strain, and you are obviously telling that to this Court understanding that the operation that explains this process is not an operation that is driven by the Federal Courts. I do accept that Operation Metro Surge has generated a volume of arrests and detentions that has taxed existing systems, staffing, and coordination between DOJ and the DHS. I read that in your papers. I understand that. I also don't have any reason to take issue at this

time that individual attorneys, including those appearing here, are working in good faith and under difficult circumstances. But those facts, even taken as true, do not answer the legal problem that it presents for this Court. If the Government undertakes an enforcement operation of this scale, one that results in the detention of large numbers of people, including individuals who are lawfully present in the United States, then the Government assumes a corresponding obligation to ensure that each detention complies with the Constitution and with court orders governing release. Volume, that is, the volume of cases and matters, is not a justification for diluting constitutional rights and it never can be. It heightens the need for care

Having what you feel are too many detainees, too many cases, too many deadlines, and not enough infrastructure to keep up with it all, is not a defense to continued detention. If anything, it ought to be a warning sign. But what you cannot do is to detain first and then sort out lawful authority later. Continued detention is not lawful just because compliance with release orders is administratively difficult or because an operation has expanded beyond the Government's capacity to execute it lawfully.

detailed release requirements are the source of the problem. In many instances, I have had to not just issue an order, but another order, another order, another order, about 7 or 8 different touches sent to the Government simply asking for the date, time, and location of the release of someone who was ordered released, in many instances, a week or more in the past. And why that is so difficult, I cannot understand, because there's obviously a person associated with the Government who is going to the detainee to release him or her. You have their name. You can carry with you a form. The name is on it. Just write the time on it and send it to the DOJ. That cannot be a reason, a source for this problem of the noncompliance because that's too easy to fix, and I don't even work for the Executive Branch. But the requirements that the Court has in place exist because individuals were being detained without lawful authority, they were being transferred contrary to orders, or released in ways that undermine the relief that was granted by the Court.

Judge Blackwell continues:

"Having what you feel are too many detainees, too
many cases, too many deadlines, and not enough
infrastructure to keep up with it all, is not a defense to
continued detention. If anything, it ought to be a warning
sign."

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting.

Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

Happy birthday!

There's too many fucking people in the Epstein files. Need Yakko Warner to sing a song about it to help me get caught up

“Anti-ICE axolotl” has arrived

It makes you sound crazy to say this out loud, but it's becoming increasingly clear that the United States government has been effectively toppled by a group of overt pedophiles

Implicated in the Epstein files today:

- the President of the United States
- the Commerce Secretary
- the World’s Richest Person who is currently worth $777 Billion
- the new Federal Reserve Chair nominee
- a former World’s Richest person
- even the First Lady made it in there

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

Borders also keep you in

Honestly it's hard to keep up with what social media options *aren't* evil. People are posting about upscrolled as an alternative to tiktok, but I already didn't have a tiktok account. But also Instagram doesn't feel much better.

I can do that with most of my fingers, but I don't think they've gotten stuck like that before

A screenshot of a guide detailing items you should bring to a protest, including: cell phone (possible a burner) cash protest stole cell phone power bank sharpie (to write important info on your body) snacks water (for hydration and first aid) plastic bags for wet/sticky objects extra t-shirt backpack to carry everything first aid kit

The Episcopal Church has put together a very impressive toolkit for protesting, including tips for clergy in particular. Truly inspiring. This is how Christians ought to be engaging the moment.

"ICE is completely out of control and breaking laws! We need to pass a law that says they can't do that!" okay! Okay, so a law that says "follow the laws." Great! I'm writing that down. Does anyone have a real... I mean, another idea?

That seems like the theme I'm hearing from everyone. I'll definitely need to ask more questions about what areas to avoid or look more into if we keep considering it. I know a lot about Tacoma and Seattle neighborhoods but almost nothing about Portland.

Thanks! Any moves are about 1.5 years out, but we're starting to research so we have a head start.

Haha yeah, I remembered they're up there and was teasing Brett that we could be their neighbors 😂

As graduation gets closer (I have just over a year) I'll definitely start watching the job market in my field more closely and if there's a definite trend in one city over the others of jobs coming up that will impact the search, but I don't want to move *for* a job.

Normally this would be the logical order of things, but my partner works fully remote so he can work anywhere, and I'm a returning student so when I graduate I'll have to find a job obviously, but at this point we're inclined to just pick a city with a large enough population that jobs exist, period

Okay so in our continued quest to eventually own a house and not pay a literal million dollars, we've considered Portland Maine, Seattle outskirts, and Tacoma WA. But we're honestly getting more open to other locations. What do people feel about Portland OR? I feel like everyone is moving there.

It's cool, on the surface it does sound like some white lady bullshit
