Four quick links

I have a lot of prep to do for an event tomorrow, but I still found a few minutes to read these:

• Ruy Teixeira says "Gavin Newsom, you're no Bill Clinton."
• US Representative Celeste Maloy (R-UT) has proposed permanent half-hour daylight saving time, which has the TZDB list in hysterics. (For example: on December 21st in Chicago, the sun would rise at 7:45 and set at 16:53; on June 21st, 5:45 and 21:00. So it may not be the worst idea.)
• Amazon has cancelled its partnership with Flock Safety because, for some reason, most people don't want to live in a privately-funded surveillance state. Their Super Bowl ad didn't help, coming as it did while ICE was still merrily snatching people off the streets.

Finally, a town in Georgia has said "no" to Immigration and Customs Enforcement because they have no realistic way to provide municipal services to the concentration camp detention facility ICE wants to build there: "To be clear, the City has repeatedly communicated that it does not have the capacity or resources to accommodate this demand, and no proposal presented to date has demonstrated otherwise. The Department of Homeland Security has stated that an economic impact study has been conducted in connection with this proposed facility; however, City officials have not received a copy of that study and are awaiting the opportunity to review the analysis." Even in a community that supports the OAFPOTUS, ICE is still toxic.
