Jason I feel like you will understand the profoundness of this statement: in my career as a journalist, Jon Scheyer was the dumbest person I’ve ever interviewed.

Okay, so you wanna do a general strike? Here's some real, practical advice on how to make it happen, from conversations with various Minnesota organizers. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

sounds lovely—very excited for this record outofyourheadrecords.bandcamp.com/album/for-th...

I just learned that The Post fired Marty Weil. I wasn't in the newsroom much, but when I was, he came in for his evening shifts, he would come through and say hello to literally everyone there. A really great guy, and a true sign of what The Post is giving up.

I had a very fun time on @defector.com Nothing But Respect talking (way too fast, and frenetically, and I am sure at times horrifically incorrectly) about the greatest time in the history of the Charlotte Hornets defector.com/into-the-res...

Democrats now have 2 weeks to negotiate w Congressional Republicans on a set of measures to begin to impose checks on systematically abusive conduct by ICE & CBP. Here's a valuable primer on some things that shld be on the table. Via @andreaflores.bsky.social arosaflores.substack.com/p/how-congre...

Here's the company profiting off helping ICE with facial recognition www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

ICYMI: The Trump admin is charging Don Lemon & anti-ICE protesters with “conspiracy to deprive rights,” a category of crime enacted by the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871. Prosecutors allege that an ICE official’s civil rights were violated. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

ah, yes, people Don Lemon—like Jimmy Kimmel before him—the Red, outside agitator, leftist bomb-thrower...

One key point I want to drive home is that, as terrifying and lethal as ICE agents can be, these are also the same dudes who go back to their hotel rooms and do heinous, loser shit like this. No amount of camo and military-style gear can hide that. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If you’ve seen a Defector sticker in the wild, credit Dan. Either he put it there or gave them to us. Dude once sent me video of one he put on a pole in Hawaii. He was so generous, kind, and enthusiastic about everything, even putting up stickers in shitty bar bathrooms. defector.com/dan-mcquade-...

Trump’s efforts to interfere in midterms becoming clearer & more dangerous every day: -using ICE to terrorize blue states & cities -seizing ballots in heavily Dem counties -prosecuting 2020 enemies -extorting states for sensitive voter data www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

it's like she dressed and posed for "government official doing a crime"

In the Times today, Jeff Landry slides in a casual mention to how his state's businesses could profit from his role helping Trump in Greenland. Read @schuylermitchell.bsky.social below for an exhaustive look into just who could make money—a lot of money

"If camo's built-in purpose is to avoid detection, ICE's embrace of it is the opposite: They want maximum visibility. They want to show they are soldiers. And they want to do so to make it seem reasonable, if only to themselves, to act like an invading army." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Dan was a friend and a legend, and it’s been extremely touching to read everyone’s remembrances of him; Dan forever. defector.com/dan-mcquade-...

Why is the governor of Louisiana volunteering to help Trump take over Greenland? (Hint: $ and resources) www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

ICE are alllll over Harlem right now, 116 & Frederick Douglass, checking IDs and targeting the area’s African community. Multiple people have been detained. Community members are advising folks to carry citizenship documents - or stay away if they are at risk

These US companies, with connections to Republican politicians, see big money to be gained from MAGA imperialism. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I've returned to this piece a few times. It's an incredible look behind the scenes of how DHS and ICE market their terror www.washingtonpost.com/technology/i...

Gorgeous www.youtube.com/watch?v=trxe...

Amateur hour in Minneapolis continues, even with Bovino out of the picture. This is indicative of a broader issue with Trump’s mass deportation push; officers aren’t doing even basic investigations (to figure out things like “is this address a consulate”) as pressure to keep up arrests is so high.

New online, Sheena Meng memorializes “Raritan,” and the intellectual and aesthetic experience it initiated her into:

It's time.

ICYMI — an important piece that gives you a look at how easily DHS can make someone a target using weird anonymous blogs. A lot of this was assumed to be happening. These new documents we got prove it was as bad as you thought.

it's so nice to have the best blogger back

Bellingcat took a very close look at the killing, which clearly contradicts the DHS narrative bsky.app/profile/bell...

CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….

Newly unsealed court records illustrate how the US government specifically targeted students for pro-Palestine speech.

our evil foreign policy is turning Greenlandic Inuit carvers into anti-Trump Facebook reply guys. we're melting the whole world's brain

Cool collection of 78s from early 20th-century Indian music sublime-frequencies.bandcamp.com/album/indian...

BREAKING: Immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, a memo obtained by AP says.

A frustrating tick of the Obama era is this kind of out-of-context quote from a Dem official

Really into the phrase "matter-dominated era." "I'm in my matter-dominated era"—that's a thing I will say now to myself alone in my apartment.
