Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers:
“We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”

The DOJ indicted “Bitcoin Jesus” Roger Ver in one of the largest-ever crypto tax fraud cases.
Those familiar with the case said the evidence was “rock solid” and that prosecutors were confident of a conviction.
Then Donald Trump won a second term.

The Trump administration is testing the waters regarding the law and states’ rights, and we as citizens of the United States of America must educate ourselves and inform others so we can push back within the framework of the law and states’ rights. We must share information to help educate others.
I now realize that for myself the sharing of memes on social media has become a form of entertainment and self-validation, and to me this provides only a distraction rather than a chance to inform others therefore I am going to focus as much as possible on posting information to inform others.
Wag the Dog, #Venezuela: #Democrats Must Relentlessly Expose #Trump
Rep Seth Moulton & Sen Ruben Gallego are leading the way responding to Trump’s unconstitutional, int #war crimes
But Venezuela, #ICE, #Epstein, tariffs, Trump’s billionaire-fluffing, are all of a piece. So the broader narrative goes like this

近一週世界有很多壞消息。
伊朗人斷網超一週，意味著鎮壓抓捕仍在繼續。
至少成百上千傷亡，具體數字都還無法核實。
還不知道到底有多少人被抓。
烏克蘭人在氣溫零下的環境下缺電缺暖氣。
烏克蘭人意志的確超級堅強，
換成其他一些國家早就撐不下去了。
川普不在乎伊朗人的死活，烏克蘭人的死活。
他連美國人的死活都不在乎。
北歐和其他歐盟國家在和美國大眼瞪小眼。
格陵蘭的前途攸關北約和歐盟的命運。
加拿大總理到北京，全拜川普所賜。
諷刺的是川普覺得加拿大和中國有deal是好事。
也難怪，因為今年川普也想要到北京去達成deal。
川普讓美國的重要盟友轉向，讓北約內部產生矛盾。
最糟糕的是竟然讓維尼和普大帝看起來沒有那麼壞。
所以川粉竟然覺得川普會對抗中俄。
今年接下去看看川粉會不會被打臉打到腫。

The new directive asks workers to check the backgrounds of foreign nationals collaborating with the department’s scientists for evidence of “subversive or criminal activity.” Their names are being sent to national security experts at the agency.

A Department of Veterans Affairs memo obtained by ProPublica erects new roadblocks to care for veterans with the rare but deadly cancer.
The agency cites no new science but relies on an executive order about “restoring biological truth” in government.

Tear gas — currently being deployed in Minneapolis — can cause long-term health consequences by making people more susceptible to contracting respiratory illnesses.
The chemical agent can also hurt people inside their homes if it seeps into residential neighborhoods.
From our 2020 investigation:

About 90,000 people living near larger chemical plants face an unacceptable risk of developing cancer, the EPA says.
New rules adopted last year could’ve cut that number to 3,000 residents — a drop of 97%.
But Trump has halted those efforts.

Red State Workers Could Lose Out on Disability Benefits as Trump Administration Rewrites Eligibility Rules

Planned changes to Social Security’s disability program could leave hundreds of thousands of older blue-collar workers ineligible for aid. These changes would fall disproportionately on some of President Trump’s most loyal supporters.

Legal experts called DHS’ move to use driver’s license data for citizenship checks more evidence of federal overreach.
“The administration wants to get as much data as it can, however it can, whenever it can.”

I think that's a no-brainer right now that Europe should pursue digital sovereignty aggressively.
It's not about MS Office vs Libre Office, it's about banking apps, cloud services, your phone, your daily life. Which is a way bigger leverage #Trump has about your daily life. #FOSS is security.

Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold. The government won’t say if any agents have been punished.

"On Sunday (Jan. 18), an unplanned liturgy of 'ICE out!' and 'Justice for Renee Good!' erupted in the sanctuary of a Southern Baptist church in St. Paul, Minnesota. Activists marched into the building to protest the fact that one of the congregation’s pastors is the acting director of the St. Paul ICE field office."
