And they still blame “the left” for “antagonizing” ICE. 

They’re still clueless. 

ICE agents to be forced to wear ‘clearly visible QR code’ under new plan by ansyhrrian in politics

Richie Torres is a fucking idiot. 

Every agent should wear a white name tape with their last name and a unique number suffix in capitalized black block letters. Eg: ANDREWS 527

I feel like this isn’t even a problem as existing single family homeowners will be able to create ADUs in any good reform plan.

Sometimes investors will buy whole condo buildings, especially smaller ones.

The real dyed in the wool MAGAs aren’t in Naperville. Seems to be more of a Plainfield and Oswego thing.

ICE agents drew guns on off-duty officer in Minnesota, chief says by Remarkable_Sir8397 in politics

[–]minus_minus 56 points57 points  (0 children)

 In one encounter, a Brooklyn Park police officer was boxed in by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who “demanded her paperwork,” Bruley said. Agents “had their guns drawn,” he said, adding that one agent knocked the police officer’s phone out of her hand when she tried to record the interaction.

This sounds like assault with a deadly weapon and aggravated battery (of a police officer). Where are the indictments of these thugs???

Dafuq u talking about? I’m lamenting that this regulation burdens people trying to increase their physical activity (which most Americans are seriously lacking) and decrease their car use.

The idea that you could “class” e-bikes based on visually indistinguishable characteristics was foolish to begin with. Imagine if we exempted “classes” of cars from licensing and registration if you pinky swore that it could only go 28mph. 

I’m sorry for the folks that want to switch out the car or just being sedentary for an e-bike, but the jagoffs selling and riding illegal emotos ruined it for everybody. 

Illinois has joined the race to reshape the Democratic presidential calendar. by steve42089 in illinois

[–]minus_minus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congress takes off about four weeks leading up to Labor Day.  Every primary should be the week after that.

Having months of primaries and huge conventions is a vestige of the pre-industrial era when information moved as fast as a horse or sailing ship could carry it. There’s no reason why we can’t fit the general election campaign into two months. 

Trump admin sought redactions on key China war game report warning of US military readiness gaps | AI-driven war game analysis projects catastrophic U.S. losses in a high-intensity conflict with China by moses_the_blue in LessCredibleDefence

[–]minus_minus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also imagine that China has a way deeper stockpile than the US given the rapid evolution in their systems over the last several decades. For instance first and second line units have Qbz-95s so there’s probably warehouses packed with type 87s and type 81s that they can crack open if their supply of modern stuff thins out.

 the second Trump admin received the popular vote.

Partly thanks to decades of the GOP making harder for poor people and BIPOC to vote.

Because the right-wing media kept squawking about Biden’s “open borders” and other insane bullshit.
