There’s a lot of commentary, but you have to find the hosts that resonate with you. I like Rachel Maddow (yes, her style can be really slow but she does more in-depth research than almost anyone else these days) and Chris Hayes. Katy Tur sucks. I think Andrea Mitchell _finally_ retired. ---

“Shock gloves” sound cool in scifi stories and video games, but seem really impractical in real life. We already have tasers. It almost feels like the non-lethal equivalent of Freddy Krueger’s clawed glove; cool on film but stupid in real life. Just use a knife. Of course ICE would be interested in such a thing. ---

Today in Sacramento: “ICE” agents tried to enter an immigration attorney’s office and look for “beds.” So was it really ICE, or some cosplaying local goons? And what exactly is the difference? And what is with the focus on “beds?” I can see why the landlord might care, but is it against federal law to sleep in an attorney’s office (cue Saul Goodman here). Anyhow, I’m trying to be funny to cover up just how scared I am.

> The agents remained for the next hour until Daniel Azurduy, a dentist and the building manager, arrived. Azurduy told the men that, without a warrant, they were trespassing and threatened to call the police. They left shortly after. That’s how to handle it. Threaten to call the **real** police. My guess is that they’re just trying to intimidate the attorneys and weren’t expecting any real resistance. ---

Robodogs might be good for search-and-rescue operations, where the biggest hazard is an inanimate environment. But they’re not hard for motivated humans to disrupt, which makes them a poor choice for law enforcement. The only reason for ICE to be buying them is because someone is getting a kickback. ---
