Thanks, yes, I've got "Auto-updater" set to "disable," but NPP still checks in with the mothership when it starts, and notifies the user when updates are available.

It's not as if ICE is going to stop kidnapping people if they [the DOJ] run out of lawyers.

Staying on and trying to make the system work sounds like the most moral option to me. It also sounds fruitless.

Edit: This article doesn't have a ton of detail, and it's pretty hard for an outsider with no legal background (like me) to understand what the players involved are trying to do. These stories have some more details:

MPR News: ICE attorney to judge: ‘This job sucks’

The Independent: ‘This job sucks’: DOJ lawyer asks to be held in contempt so she can sleep after judge accuses ICE of blowing court orders

Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Julie Le is described as a volunteer. I don't know if that means she's getting paid or not. She is working to get ICE to comply with court orders to release people. My guess is that if everyone in her position were to resign in protest, ICE would just ignore the courts completely, and wouldn't release anyone at all anymore.

This is an attack, a deliberate stratagem, by the executive, on the justice system, and it sounds to me like Julie Le is caught up in that attack, not a perpetrator of it.

...the Department of Homeland Security brought its allegations to the public long before it could be tested in court, repeating claims of bounties up to $50,000.

So the DHS just wants everyone to be informed about some exciting new gig economy opportunities?

Sure, it may not work, because the feds haven't been following the rules. It's important to make it crystal-clear that they aren't following the rules, anyway.

At this point, the greatest insult the president can offer is to fail to threaten a lawsuit, honestly.

I have baked my own bread, and I have finished baking store-bought parbaked bread, but somehow it never occurred to me that I could parbake my own stuff at home. What a great idea.

Your baguettes look tasty!

If CBP and ICE were really on a mission to find non-citizens, they wouldn't have been sent to fucking Minnesota .

Even a die-hard "kick 'em all out" pro-crackdown MAGA shithead should be angry about what is actually happening on the ground.

The articles under the "anti-fake" heading seem to mostly be about illuminating and countering Russian propaganda efforts, Russian disinformation campaigns, Russian media subversion, etc.

"Anti-fake" is a term that has apparently been applied to official legislative efforts to counter propaganda, disinfo, and media subversion around the world. I hadn't heard the term before, but I'm not seeing anything inherently suspect about it, under the circumstances.

Maybe it's just an appropriate response to the times.

Can you expand on this? What does "anti-fake" mean to you, what does it mean to them? Is this something a lot of news outlets have? Is this the only one? I've never heard of this and I'm confused.

Something that jumped out at me: These guys had worked for CBP for ~8 and ~12 years, respectively.

These thugs, who wrestled an uninvolved bystander to the ground, then shot him in the back while he lay there helpless, were not panicky newbs. These were veteran CBP officers.

Is this just what veteran CBP officers are like?

Conservatives' whole deal can be summarized as "picking and choosing who gets to have rights."
