That’s not what happened here though. In the video I saw, Lander wasn’t asking the agents to prove that they were law enforcement. He was asking if they had a judicial warrant to detain the person he was holding onto. He did seem to believe

There’s a lot we don’t know about the composition of the group here. The Trump administration has been routinely embedding other agencies like the FBI in ICE operations: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-departme

Yeah you’re right, I was actually trying to delete my comment - this is the internet, of course people don’t read the article. I was just struck by the crassness and popularity of that comment in an article that points out, among other thin

Completely anecdotal - but the guys I know in trades have a larger proportion that smoke/drink heavily compared to the office workers I know. Would be curious if there’s a study that compares “health nut” physical trade workers with “h

Are you stating that is true, or that that’s the argument the Trump administration is making right now? Because the notion that the 14 amendment was supposed to be retroactive only is definitely not captured in some of those quotes here by

Kind of nuts that there are different rules for out-of-wedlock US citizen father vs out-of-wedlock US citizen mother. Doesn’t that violate the 14th amendment? Equal protection and all that?

That must be a restriction imposed on the court by Florida law - I think it’s pretty well established that ICE detainers alone don’t mandate anything of state courts or law enforcement. Even ICE’s website says this: > Immigration detaine

I posted this deep in another part of this discussion - but the majority of the money being discussed here isn’t really for Harvard or educating its students - the largest portion are for NIH grants funding to Boston area hospitals, most of

The 9 billion isn’t specifically just for Harvard “the university”. The lion’s share of it appears to be NIH programs for area hospitals - all of which are associated with Harvard. https://www.thecrimson.com/article/202

And even then, they’d need a 2/3 majority in both chambers to get past a Trump veto right? There’s no way they’d get that in the house.

That’s using the bizarre trade deficit/total imports formula put forward by the administration. I’m curious what Pakistan actually imposes on US imports as a policy.

If they’re checking phones, having a burner phone with no or few contacts seems like a great way to arouse suspicion at the border.

I’m still holding out hope that this is satire, and pretty good satire at that. The level of detail in the paper he’s publishing is making me doubt that - but maybe he used an LLM to make the joke go a little further?

I understand that’s terrifying in the moment to have CPS at your door, but maybe the erroneous CPS visit is a one time cost we have to pay to change the culture, until CPS learns to ignore phone calls with no more details other than “childr

That site is mistaken. I live in Massachusetts and can tell you with certainty you are not banned from having a clothesline, notwithstanding an HOA rule in place. In fact, the states given by that page are all listed as “right to dry” state

In a world without an electoral college, I’m not sure you can say this. Almost every state is winner take all in electoral votes. I suspect there are a lot of discouraged voters who don’t vote, because they live in states where their opinio
