via NYPost: Immigration and Customs Enforcement is preparing to launch a “big f–king operation” across sanctuary cities — including Chicago and New York — immediately after President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, multiple sources told The Post.

Starting Jan. 21, multi-day “ground operations” will be launched across cities that have served as safe havens for migrants because the local authorities do not cooperate with the federal government when it comes to immigration issues, sources said.

Ppl love to say “we are living in Orwell’s 1984!!!” about everything but the shift from Trump starting the idea of a tiktok ban to “Trump is saving tiktok!” is theeee most egregious example of doublethink I’ve ever seen in real life like it’s embarrassing lmao

mercy seems like a long shot here, so my prayer for inauguration day 2025: may they be incompetent. may they just be really bad at implementation. may their egos choke their effectiveness. may they drown themselves week by week with infighting and selfish posturing. may they be easily distracted. may the very governors and senators and agencies and religious leaders that the new administration expects to be friendly force endless stalemates to preserve their own power. may every delay turn into a three ring blame circus so chaotic that no one remembers what they were doing. may the good and necessary parts of government be too boring to draw attention and keep running quietly in the background. may the next four years be full of sound and fury and signify nothing.

Just decided to play FFXII again after not touching it for approximately ten thousand years, so I thought hey why not post this horribly old painting? Don’t look at the sky.

I swear I’ll do more art for this game someday.

I mostly do politics elsewhere, but I think it's worth mentioning that the US House of Representatives has passed a virulently transphobic bill. The vote was close, however (216 Republicans and 2 Democrats for, 206 Democrats against), and it's not yet clear if they'll be able to get it through a Senate filibuster if Democrats keep holding together (if you have a Dem senator or what goes for a center-right Republican one these days, it's a good idea to call them!).

It takes some doing to get this much cohesion from House Democrats tbh; Erin Reed pointed out that the Dem whips must have done some incredible work to herd these particular cats, and quoted the various arguments on the floor made by both parties. A bunch of Democratic reps had good points to make (my former representative whom I repeatedly voted for, Suzanne Bonamici, was one of them), and particularly hammered in that Republicans are weirdly obsessed with young girls' genitals over a fractional minority of girls in a wide range of sports (including chess btw). However, I think the one who put it most succinctly is Maxwell Frost (D-FL):

They say it's about protecting women but it's a damn lie.

AOC elaborated:

Republicans, who have voted consistently against the Violence Against Women Act, who have taken the rights of all women to have control over their own body, who as women are bleeding out in parking lots, now want to pretend today that they care about women.
