People are getting really confused about this. When I say “pretext,” I don’t mean for individual ICE officers. I mean that the Trump regime still (!!) does not have enough popular support and political cover to cross certain lines. They’re finding themselves genuinely stymied by federal courts and state govs, Congress is getting less (not more!) quiescent, they’re finding themselves unable to control the press, and popular support is collapsing.
Saying “the situation is already extremely dire” is true and important. Saying “they’ve already achieved total authoritarian control” is wrong, dangerous, and an invitation to give up when we most need people active.

Like even if you're a joyless simulacrum of a real human, an empty husk filled with indifference—at the least consider the world your children and loved ones have to live in.
Unpopular opinion, but Star Wars is mid and not worth giving these creeps money for.

Looks a good person (@…) made a mirror of the support website (with a UI that's amazing and every manufacturer should take note), so at least I found the drivers. https://toshiba-mirror.depau.gay/product/?mid=1073769759
