Hello! I'm an early 40s, white, straight, cis, male (he/him). I live in the Pacific Northwest, in the United States. I'm introverted and shy, but I'm always looking for friends. If I post or reblog anything offensive or triggering please tell me. Depression lies.

Well, this is different. It's a 1990 build in a 9 unit development in Waitsfield, VT. 2bds, 2ba, 1,100sqft, $495k. The lot is 1.77 acres, which is pretty large for a home in a development.
White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller drew sharp condemnation Tuesday over a message he sent to Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers during an interview with Fox News host Will Cain.
Miller asserted that ICE agents have “federal immunity in the conduct of your duties” and declared that anyone who touches or obstructs them is “committing a felony.”
Looking at what national news outlets are up to right now, one might not realize a whole major US metropolitan area is, you know, sort of under attack by paramilitary forces. Wild.
While it's not going unreported entirely, what's been happening in Minnesota and in Minneapolis–Saint Paul in particular since Renee Good was murdered is not getting the attention it should be.
There are already 2000 gangsters from DHS deployed, and "hundreds" or "1000" more are on the way, depending on which Trumpland person you ask. As a point of reference, the Twin Cities' actual police total just under 1200 (600 in Minneapolis and 590 in Saint Paul according to the depts' sites).
The feds there are more or less attacking people at random. They've gone door-to-door for "citizenship checks" (completely illegal). They've knocked doors down when residents haven't complied (obviously also completely illegal). In addition to abducting and brutalizing the immigrants they come across during their rampages, they've done the same to US citizens of color and are also harassing, stalking and physically attacking observers.
Below are some videos from observers. I'm linking to Bluesky because that's where I saw them, though many are originally from/also available elsewhere. I apologize for the rancid formatting below but it was the best I could do quickly-ish. The images are previews; click the links in the timestamps to watch.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California can use a new voter-approved U.S. House map that is designed to boost Democrats in the 2026 midterms, a federal three-judge panel ruled Wednesday.
In a 2-1 ruling, a three-judge panel in Los Angeles denied requests from state Republicans and the U.S. Justice Department to block the map from being used in future elections. The complaint accused California of violating the Constitution by using race as a factor to favor Hispanic voters when drawing the new district lines.
The map, aimed at giving Democrats a shot at flipping as many as five House seats next year, was decisively approved by voters through Proposition 50 in November. The effort was pushed by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is eying a 2028 presidential run, to counter a similar effort in Texas backed by President Donald Trump to help Republicans win five House seats. Republicans currently hold nine of California’s 52 congressional seats.
Jan 13 (Reuters) - The South Carolina health department reported 434 measles cases related to the ongoing outbreak in the state on Tuesday, 124 additional cases since its last update on Friday.
The widening outbreak has been reported in the northwest part of the state, which includes Greenville and Spartanburg, according to the South Carolina Department of Public Health.
Ansari wants to abolish for-profit immigration detention centers
"There is no accountability for these for-profit detention centers under Donald Trump. They don’t care about these people."
Editor’s note: This story has been updated with a response from CoreCivic
In the first year of the Trump administration’s mass deportation agenda, Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity has hit Phoenix hard. Agents have picked up DACA recipients and legal visitors. People in residential neighborhoods have watched agents use unnecessary force against immigrants. And local business owners have been stuck in overcrowded detention for months.
Democratic Rep. Yassamin Ansari, who represents central and west Phoenix in Congress, has seen the “awful” impact of these policies firsthand in her district. She saw horrific conditions of detention centers in oversight visits, helped DACA recipients renew their status to prevent deportation and advocated for detained people.
