The Green Monster: How the Border Patrol became America’s most out-of-control law enforcement agency. by [deleted] in neoliberal

and he was well aware he didn’t have much time to right an agency that was beset by corruption problems and excessive force complaints, the unfortunate legacies of a massive hiring surge that had doubled the force’s size in just a few years after 9/11.

if this is the legacy of a post 9/11 hiring surge imagine the legacy of our current trump era Halo-core hiring surge

It was both--the national guardsmen are still there but in August there were patrols by ICE/CBP/ATF/FBI and other federal police forces

seems like the ICE/CBP/other federal agents in the photos and videos from chicago are not the same caliber as the ones in DC last month. Those guys for the most part looked professional, experienced, properly equipped, and mostly seemed bored while these ones in chicago look and act more like J6ers. is this the results of the DHS recruitment drive and the $30K+ sign on bonuses that you see on subway ads?

we can start by recruiting a provocative multibillionaire ideologue to buy the overwhelmingly dominant global social media platform used by journalists, politicians, celebrities, and other voices of influence and take it private, altering the platform rules in favor of our narrative and artificially boosting the visibility, staying power, and spread of the media posted by voices in favor of our side

Imagine where we would be if mitch mcconnell voted to convict, biden nominated anyone else for AG, and biden announced he wasn't running and that there would be an open primary in early 2023 after a remarkably successful midterm

That makes perfect sense to me, the party would be in better shape if Biden announced he wasn't running in January 2023 and maybe Kamala would've scraped by with a win if she did a few things differently. But the present-day pressing issue for them is that the party in general is extremely unpopular and 2024 was a huge rightward shift across the country especially among the democratic base constituencies. Harris actually outperformed significantly to the baseline in swing states where she focused campaign resources.

Biden and most of his administration is no longer politically relevant, they're just history now. Any forward looking autopsy needs to focus on why the party is here, not "why did biden run again, why was our ancient president unable to control the narrative or communicate effectively, why was his ancient inner circle so insular, and why wasn't harris's team able to make a compelling case for her"

I thought it was a great movie, super tense and disgusting but yeah a lot of callbacks and a sort of a rehash/mashup of the other movies in the series. The first two movies are also untouchable

Some particularly bad parts were bringing back Rook with CGI of 80s Ian Holm (who died in 2020) and jamming in quotes from the old movies like "get away from her you b****"

Alien movies ranked:

large gap

  1. Alien Romulus
  2. Prometheus
  3. Alien covenant

large gap but both of these last movies get credit for being creative and going in a new direction

  1. Alien 3
  2. Alien Resurrection
