Just saw Disney’s live action Snow White. Wasn’t terribly aware of all the off-screen controversies and I’m not surprised nor interested. It certainly does speak to these awful times. So, I just worked with Perplexity (an AI) to help prepare the attached analysis. Take a few minutes. Enjoy the read.

It’s really important to understand how quotas bend the practice of street level organizations around those targets (depending, of course, on the incentive/accountability structure that is attached to those quotas). Expect as much enthusiasm in juking the stats as in increasing arrests.

Perfect: Trump is angry that deportation numbers aren't high enough, so he's demanding higher numbers of daily arrests, WaPo reports. But that's going to require rounding up non-criminals. Confirms what I tried to argue below: Manufacturing a perpetual emergency constantly requires new enemies.
