Former ICE agent:
On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.
I still have friends! And I saw somw of them in person just ... last year.

A stacked bar chart (oriented horizontally) labeled: Living with ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome) Each horizontal bar is a disease status: Pre-ME, Mild ME, Moderate ME, Severe ME, Very Severe ME. The width of each bar represents how much energy is available in each status (100, 50, 25, 12.5, and 6.25 respectively). Each bar is divided into sections for how one might allocate their energy: hygiene & nutrition (gray); caregiving, cleaning errands (red); work (orange); exercise (yellow); friends (green); hobbies (blue); fun (purple). With worsening ME, the hygiene & nutrition takes up a larger proportion of total available energy and the amount of energy available for all other parts of life shrinks. Mild ME has most things cut in half, with exercise cut smaller. Moderate ME removes exercise altogether, and everything else shrinks. Severe ME has only tiny slivers of red, orange, green, blue and purple. Very Severe ME has only a tiny sliver of green.
NIH recently found 1 in 22 ppl who’d had Covid developed ME/CFS. The “mild” form of that disease, as @julialmv.bsky.social’s graph shows, means losing capacity to do 50% of your daily activities.
What would you give up?
Friends? Time w/your kids? Could you cut work hours in half w/o losing yr job?

ICE is a paramilitary clusterfuck.
I'm here in Minneapolis. Retired U.S Army LT-Colonel. Grew up hunting in Montana mountains.
They are HUNTING BROWN PEOPLE.
Spotter and 3 car abduction teams.
They have moved to taking the victims cars to hide the evidence.
Probably also hiding the bodies.
Portland mayor:
"To those who continue to work for ICE: Resign. To those who control this facility: Leave.
"To those who continue to make these sickening decisions, go home, look in a mirror, and ask yourselves why you have gassed children..."

“I know they would do anything, that they would hurt people, that they’ve murdered people... I know that intellectually. But I still did not expect them to gas a chill, friendly protest full of nurses and teachers and children and the elderly.”

In addition to being a hodge-podge of ideas which either a) already exist; b) don’t exist yet but which wouldn’t accomplish much; or c) don’t exist yet but which would actively make healthcare worse and less affordable than it is today, Trump’s “plan” also has the added feature of not actually being a plan.
