I realize that using the word “racist” to describe an ExTwitter account is pretty much redundant at this point, but there’s something more to this story. It’s not that a racist is using ExTwitter to make racist posts. It’s that a prosecutor working for ICE is, and has been, posting racist content for years on the platform.
But it took some sleuthing by the journalists at the Texas Observer to tie these racist posts to a government employee — a post that certainly shouldn’t be manned by someone who already believes non-whites to be less human than he

This stupid state. These stupid legislators. This goddamn constituency.
This is my current home state. And it is painful to be here.
Kristi Noem is now the head of the DHS, presumably because she never asked what this country could do for her, but instead asked “what can I do for Donald Trump?” She kept asking this question even though no one was really expecting an answer during the Biden administration. Then she allowed her constituents to be ravaged by floods because she’s already spent too much money sending South Dakota National Guard troops to Texas to “defend the border.”
The state legislature contains a vast Republican majority, as it has for years. But rather than limiting themselves to turning South Dakota into the world’s foremost inland offshore banking site, they’re now just following their (Dear) leaders. Performative cruelty is the name of the game. A

Here’s another appellate anomaly. Most circuits (including this one!) have concluded destroying someone’s home and property while engaging in law enforcement activity is just the sort of thing citizens are supposed to abide with good grace in exchange for living in a society.
The Ninth Circuit isn’t most circuits. It covers a lot of ground and a lot of population. But it’s home to the appeals court that finds in favor of
