DHS posted this for Romulus, MI. "ICE proposes to acquire and retrofit the existing warehouse facility at 7525 Cogswell Street [...] for use as a Detention Processing Center." "Any individual, group, or agency wishing to comment on the project may do so via email at icesustainability@ice.dhs.gov."

After a string of ICE murders, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries proposed reforms — and $11 billion more for ICE. Including reconciliation bill funding, the Schumer-Jeffries plan would give ICE a $30 billion budget, higher than all but 15 militaries worldwide: www.stephensemler.com/p/democratic...

This is exactly right. They haven't settled for dim brutes who blindly follow orders regardless of the law. That's what they want. That's what they got. There's no reforming or improving it now. Democrats need to investigate, defund, and ultimately disband the president's brownshirt brigade.
People might argue that ICE is not recruiting quality agents. But I would insist that they are in fact successfully recruiting the exact sort of person needed to carry out the mission: reactionary, angry, violent people who don’t believe in democracy. www.ms.now/opinion/ice-...

She asked one question: "Are you ICE?" With no warning, agents took her to the ground. They shackled her for hours. They cut off parts of her clothes — and even her wedding ring. Now, @aclumn.bsky.social is fighting back for protesters, observers and journalists exercising their 1A rights.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago. His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship." He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

Measles outbreaks are surging again, this time in South Carolina. In normal times, we’d be hearing anticipatory guidance to the public on what to look out for and to encourage vaccination. These are highly abnormal times and we are filling the void. @msnowreports.bsky.social

I know we’ve been talking about the 25th Amendment being invoked for years now, but we should probably be talking about it a lot more and a lot more seriously right now.
Couple of things here: 1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently 2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts" 3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring" 4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you

@jamesgunn.bsky.social Its September 30th, which is the day I've set aside every year to tell Joss Whedon to go fuck himself for being a gross, abusive, disappointment. If you could, pass that on for me.

And who are those 2 voters who say the United States is *not* in a political crisis? That's right -- Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer.

I don't see how it's possible for Kilmeade to keep his job after saying such horrendous & cruel things on live television. I have yet to see a response from Fox. I can tell you if a Canadian broadcaster said those words on live TV they would be instantly fired. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger
Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up? TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

The Trump administration has not yet offered a legal rationale for murdering 11 people in a strike on a Venezuelan boat, which begs the question — was there even an attempt to concoct one for the attack? I filed a FOIA request with the Pentagon and the Office of Legal Counsel to find out.

Terrific piece by @mehdirhasan.bsky.social for @theguardian.com. The country desperately needs congressional Democrats to get their shit together, and it needs to happen sooner rather than later.

If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me
