Judge Gettleman has ordered Immigration and Customs Enforcement to provide three meals a day, adequate supplies of water, access to prescription medicine, clean bedding and space to sleep for any detainee held there overnight, with “adequate supplies of soap, towels, toilet paper, oral hygiene products (including toothbrushes and toothpaste) and menstrual products for women detainees.”

Holding cells and toilets are to be cleaned, and detainees should have access to showers “at least every other day,” according to the order.

If you have to order the waiter to bring you a soup the chef didn’t spit in you should probably just skip ahead to finding a different place to eat

Based on the elections this week and a bunch of polls over the last thirty days, I’m pretty sure they are actually

The meetings, known as “audencias publicas,” or public hearings in Spanish,

NYT really thinks its readers are this stupid

In this tech-savvy age, when many get their questions answered online by swiping a phone or clicking a mouse, the consulate sessions are a throwback to another era, when problems were addressed face to face.

“Cliche factory on line two, something about overtime pay?”

without providing a single source

That was quoted from the OP

And what’s the point of that? NOTHING has changed,

Not true, hundreds of individual people have been released orat leats had their deportations paused

The onslaught of legal rejections has come in hundreds of individual cases, typically filed on an emergency basis after ICE’s targets are arrested at courthouses or check-ins with immigration officers. Though a handful of class action lawsuits have been filed seeking to block the administration’s expanded detention policy, they have advanced slowly and seem weeks — perhaps months — from resolution.

Lots of terrible things are being done and any kind of justice is happening unacceptly slowly and arbitrarily, but saying “NOTHING” is happening isn’t true and makes things seem more hopeless than they are

appears to be a potential violation of the Antideficiency Act,

If we’d had this calibur of journalism about a century ago they would have said the Hindenburg appeared to be experiencing a potential flight delay, I swear

Potential penalties for violations include both administrative and criminal sanctions such as suspension or removal from duty, fines and imprisonment

I mean, this is the sound of a journalist screaming internally “SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING”, but the time to start screaming externally was a while ago

He already has billions more than he could spend in a lifetime. It isn’t smart it’s deranged.

“Oh wow, our research shows our business model destroys the planet, better keep that a secret!” is the sort of exemplary moral reasoning I normally only expect from petroleum companies

Fascists are trying to terrify us with stupid shit that I fell for (at least for a minute there)

The $130 million donation is unlikely to make any meaningful impact toward covering salaries of the roughly 1.3 million active duty military troops, netting out to about $100 per service member.

I don’t want this government reopened until Trump has been removed from office, personally. I hope mutual aid networks are able to support people who need nutrition housing and healthcare insurance and support good government workers, but giving a budget to the administration of Donald Trump can not happen, it will only be used to cause further suffering.

Yeah, this is super illegal and sketchy as all hell, the country’s military being beholden to some private oligarchs is some “end of the Roman empire” type of stupidly corrupt and destabilizing idiocy

However (and I only noticed this after posting and kinda feel bad for being misled), this is also some stupid fascist theater that’s trying to make the administration and their dipshit oligarch friends look more powerful than they actually are

The $130 million donation is unlikely to make any meaningful impact toward covering salaries of the roughly 1.3 million active duty military troops, netting out to about $100 per service member.

They want us to despair and think that everything is all over and they’ve won everything forever, but in reality they’re morons who ruin everything they touch who have to keep doing terrifying performative fascist bullshit to keep their followers from noticing how stupid and incapable they are. Don’t get me wrong, that performative fascist bullshit hurts and kills people, but these scumbags do not have resources or the competence to hurt and kill all of us as much as they try to project that image.

We all know they’re evil, but what we need to remind ourselves and constantly remind all of their supporters is that they are weak. The fascist mind cannot handle that.

He didn’t take away Mike Johnson’s healthcare

Unfortunately I think this is more the mayor capitulating and trying to set up a different bit of fascist theater for the administration (arc)

“Late last night, I received a phone call from the President of the United States. I told him the same thing I told our residents: San Francisco is on the rise,” Lurie said in a statement Thursday. “Visitors are coming back, buildings are getting leased and purchased, and workers are coming back to the office. We have work to do, and we would welcome continued partnerships with the FBI, DEA, ATF, and U.S. Attorney to get drugs and drug dealers off our streets, but having the military and militarized immigration enforcement in our city will hinder our recovery.”

[Bolding added]

They’re probably going to set up some sort of bullshit joint taskforce with the San Francisco PD and some federal agencies to beat the shit out of homeless people and call them hardcore gang members of some other stupid cruelty they can celebrate

Trump’s DOJ doesn’t like money laundering and organized crime suddenly? Huh, that is news

IMO, nowhere near the top 100 shittiest things he’s done (like, this act of vandalism is a way smaller crime than the murders we’ve been doing to people on boats in the Caribbean), but it is shitty (I know most of our presidents have sucked and the white house was built by slave labor, but tearing it down isn’t going to undo any of that, it’s just going to make history harder to understand for people in the future)

You believe what Trump says?

The CIA probably only found out this was going to be publicly confirmed when they saw news stories about Trump running his mouth, both because the White House is being run like Lord of the Flies and because the CIA are a bunch of dumbasses who are actually shit at predicting what governments might do and basically only excel at giving money and weapons to the worst people on the planet

Dipshit totalitarians’ gift for unintended irony is a really durable bit throughout history

I don’t think there’s any good reason we can’t do both of those things at the same time, but even if it goes exactly like you describe at least trying to pursue justice will be an improvement over the last administration
