My kids love their trampoline, but they only spend 50% of the time bouncing up, wasting the other 50% falling down.
That's why I'm not spending another penny on trampoline maintenance until they can improve efficiency and reduce wasted falling time to at most 25%.
This toot is about austerity.

#Trump Shifts #Deportation Focus, Pausing Most Raids on #Farms, #Hotels & #Restaurants
The abrupt pivot on an issue at the heart of Trump’s presidency suggested his broad #immigration crackdown was hurting industries & constituencies he does not want to lose. [proving his agenda is, as always, driven by #SelfInterest not #NationalSecurity, & certainly not #PublicService]
This is most likely a lie. He’s hoping to fool immigrants into feeling safe, so they can round them up more easily.
After all, 87% of his base approves of the SS tactics!

This needs attention
Via Greg Sargent:
Now that #Trump has suspended deportation raids in the agriculture and hospitality industries, it's even worse that Dems failed to put their stamp on the right side of this debate. This dereliction could now let Trump get away with recasting his climbdown as sensible recalibration on his part. Awful.

I’m seeing reports of ICE kidnapping nannies at a park in LA, assaulting pregnant US citizens, kidnapping children in foster care from their foster parents, accidentally arresting US marshals who look too brown.
This is ethnic cleansing on a national scale to fulfill Trump and Miller’s dream of a fascist ethnostate.
I guess with Musk’s falling out with Trump, it’s Miller’s turn to be the scheming vizier running the state.
Entering homes without warrants. Kidnapping people when they don’t even know their names, much less their citizenship status. Taking kids from their homes. Leaving kids stranded because they took the kids’ caretakers.
Fuck every “Don’t Tread On Me” bro who is nowhere to be seen. Fuck every “small government conservative.” And fuck every liberal “just sit down, don’t give them a pretext” sentiment. The state has declared war on us and it is prosecuting that war.
This is “rule of law.” It has always been a sham.

Minnesota Public Radio: Shelter-in-place order issued in NW Twin Cities metro area for suspect in 'multiple targeted shootings'
"The shelter-in-place order is for a 3-mile radius from Edinburgh USA golf course in Brooklyn Park. The golf course is located just south of the State Highway 610 freeway, and west of State Highway 252.
Police said in the alert that the suspect they’re seeking may be misrepresenting himself as a law enforcement officer. He’s described as a white male wearing black body armor over a blue shirt and blue pants. He’s considered armed and dangerous — and police said he should not be approached. Anyone who believes they see the suspect should call 911."
