If there exists a class that does not have due process, then none of us truly have due process.

There's nothing I love more than a well-explained joke

Elon made the intentional decision to NOT use LIDAR because he's a cheapskate and unwilling to take input. He is not using an even remotely reasonable approach. He chose not to use a reasonable approach on purpose.

I'll start reading from the most recent amendment to the earliest until I come across something about establishing religion.

I appreciate this statement so much that I wish i could up vote it a hundred times more, but all I can do is comment about that so I'm doing it. I laughed a very good laugh. The anticipation is poetry.

If they are one people, then all of Russia is also Ukraine. And I happen to think Zelenskyy is a more legitimate leader.

I wonder if there's a localized zone where there is some sort of really great density of people who consider themselves Ukrainians. And I wonder if there exists some distinguishable boundary between them - culturally, societally, dare I say politically - where on one side an individual would expect to encounter a Ukrainian, versus on the other side, where they would more probably expect to encounter a non-Ukrainian?

Edit: Maybe an edge? A ridge? Something that describes a clearly defined boundary between two distinct areas that are closely related in many regards while also being clearly distinguishable based on the split that defines the division between said areas...

Edit again: I swear it's on the tip of my tongue. So frustrating. A line, maybe? That seems closer, but not quite there.

DHS' new guidance states that "ICE field offices are not detention facilities and fall outside of the Sec. 527 requirements. ICE does not house aliens at field offices."

Ok, got it, so these are not detention facilities.

In their letter, the lawmakers take issue with this assertion. They say that ICE Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce recently confirmed that some individuals have been held at 26 Federal Plaza for multiple days.

Wait though, that's literally a detention facility...

"It couldn't hurt to get a second opinion, at least, right?"

The article could perhaps do a better job giving more background info on GEO Group, but the short answer is that GEO is the point. They, along with CoreCivic, are the primary entities contracting with the government to detain and hold whoever they are presently disappearing (read: providing the state side concentration camps).

They are apparently using money to encourage the locals to turn a blind eye.

Apologies if the photo quality is insufficient. In a particular bit of forest, I found an area with a large birch population that all seemed to be suffering from the same issue. Something is causing the leaves to first stripe green and yellow, then turn brown/black, and while there are new leaf buds forming, trees are seemingly losing the leaves faster than they can replace them. There are other areas with birch trees on the same forest that don't have this issue at all. In the affected area, some trees have only one or two leaves left with any green in them at all.

This is in New England, USA
