ICYMI last night, DHS is currently being fined every day for contempt of court until it coughs up the cell phone records of officers involved in immigration stops in L.A. last year that looked like racial profiling rather than reasonable cause. short thread -->

Fed. judge holds DHS in civil contempt of court for refusing "intentionally and not in good faith" to provide plaintiffs with phone images they intend to use to prove DHS was racially profiling people arrested in Los Angeles without reasonable suspicion. Order from July 28, unsealed today.

B. Defendants’ Noncompliance Is Intentional And Not In Good Faith. Having found that Defendants are in violation of the January 16 Forensic Imaging Order, the burden now shifts to Defendants to show that they were unable to comply. Affordable Media, 179 F.3d at 1239 (9th Cir. 1999). They fail to make that showing. Upon review of the parties’ submissions and counsel’s representations at the hearing, it does not appear that Defendants’ noncompliance is due to an inability to comply. Instead, the clear and convincing evidence shows that Defendants have acted intentionally and not in good faith.

Exactly. 50 euro. I wore through three pairs of shit running trainers in a year before I could buy a pair of ASICS for 50 euro extra. That's what it's about. I had a pair of DMs back when they were good quality that literally lasted 20 years. I can't bulk buy laundry pods. Much more expensive.

People are in his replies like "well I've had $150 boots and $300 boots and I don't see a difference!" and it's like ok have you ever tried boots you got for £4 from oxfam

I remember being a kid and having to pay a premium for utilities because our credit was too low for a DD; having to pay corner shop prices for food because we'd no car to get to a supermarket, etc

I don't think they love him or what he does—because the emotional milieu in which they're mired leaves no room for love—but are pathologically attached to the way he allows them to feel about themselves and their enemies* *numbers, misfortune, the rest of humanity

Trying to work out whether Trump’s supporters hate his personal morality but put it to one side because they love his policies more, or whether they actually admire his personal morality. Presumably a mix: but what proportion?
