A lot of local reporters think their job depends on staying on the good side of local police in order to retain access

They've got support from Musk and Zuckerberg so that means banning their platforms

Yes, but cause a lot of suffering in the meantime

A ton of us voted against this

Yeah, I expect it of the New York Times, which is afraid of losing access. Local outlets have nothing to lose by speaking truth to power

We can make it into a bug if we're able to pressure him into recusing himself.

ICE doesn't actually wear badges as a rule; they usually just have a mask and body armor, with other clothing being random, often military-style items. Their body armor may say "police " or "dhs" but usually does not even say "ICE"

There's no real way to tell them from cartel gunmen.

The local cops also bear significant blame here; they took a cane from a blind man and beat him up and arrested him because they didn't have a language in common with the victim. This is what led to ICE taking him

In the past, yes, but not this time

Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., who had recused himself in a prior petition in the Boulder case (possibly because he owned stock in ConocoPhillips) did not indicate that he would be recusing himself from the case. ConocoPhillips, which is not named in the Boulder case, is a defendant in other climate lawsuits.

So long a he holds it, he is supposed to recuse himself from cases that affect those stocks. This has meant one less vote in the Supreme Court in favor of the oil industry

Its a billions of dollars per year kind of cost

There are very different levels of responsibility for different people. Dude who started shooting is going to prison. Folks who showed up dressed in black but had no idea what was coming should not.

I think they'd be happy do deport all the brown people and use people from southern Europe as slaves
