Trump repeatedly promised that his mass deportation efforts would target “the worst of the worst” criminals,
yet the government’s own data reveals that immigrants with no criminal record are the largest group in US immigration detention today.
How can the Trump administration justify its deployment of federal agents, and even the military, to US cities based on the factually disprovable fictions?

‘Spectacle of disorder’: How ICE creates the chaos ICE, cops, and the military are called in to ‘fix’
"Trump has been able to make this spectacle where you have disorder on one side and him on the other, and he can constantly encroach upon the civil rights of Americans by convincing us that this disorder is so systemic that only he can fix it."

Tree-width of a graph excluding an apex-forest or a wheel as a minor

Tree-width of a graph excluding an apex-forest or a wheel as a minor
The Grid Minor Theorem states that for every planar graph $H$, there exists a smallest integer $f(H)$ such that every graph with tree-width at least $f(H)$ contains $H$ as a minor. The only known lower bounds on $f(H)$ beyond the trivial bound $f(H)\geq |V(H)|-1$ come from the maximum number of disjoint cycles in $H$. In this paper, we study $f(H)$ for planar graphs $H$ with no two disjoint cycles. We prove that $f(H)=|V(H)|-1$ for every apex-forest $H$. This result improves…

Back in the day, Trump told the press: If you need someone to get vicious toward an opponent, you get Roy Cohn
Alas, his favorite thug-fixer-lawyer has been dead since 1986 (having perished just six weeks after he was disbarred for fraud).
Now he has Cohn 2.0,

who is systematically destroying the credibility of the Justice Department,
converting it into a Trump defense firm,
and spitting venom at anyone with the temerity to a…

Obama:
"When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act,
that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

Now we have official government accounts posting
"womp womp, cry all you want,"
and calling US citizens
"imbecilic morons."

A couple years back, I wrote about how the novelty of interacting with government agencies on social media gave way to an era of skepticism on both sides. Now we have official government accounts posting "womp womp, cry all you want," and calling US citizens "imbecilic morons."
