ICE agents shot another driver -- on Tues. He had just asked to call his wife. They shot him six times. One bullet his jaw. Now he can't speak and has been mostly unconscious. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/09/u...

Federal Safe Streets for All (SS4A) grants now penalize applications that include bike lanes, lane reduction, traffic calming, and speed cameras.

This is just so corrupt on every conceivable level. There is no excusing it. These people are The Shittiest Gangsters and we need to throw them in jail for the rest of their lives.

If the NYT is just going to rip off @katewagner.wehwalt.net’s McMansion Hell bits they should have made them funny

In this lawsuit there's a transcript of an infuriating exchange between the lead plaintiff and an immigration judge assigned to the Somali docket. She explains why the schedule is a travesty and laughs at the absurdity, which the IJ takes poorly, leading to a testy exchange. I'm fully on her side.

This is an absolute scandal; the United States government is deliberately consolidating all deportation cases of an ethnic minority that the President has called "garbage" in front of a handpicked group of judges and with dramatically accelerated timeline. A lawsuit was filed yesterday against it.

According to documents filed this morning by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY, ICE has been lying for a year — not only to the public, but to the courts and to prosecutors — about being authorized to make arrests at 26 Federal Plaza and other immigration courts. (1/2)

Official statement re: Dan Bongino

The punitive stage of the trial is underway. Plaintiff lawyer Mark Lanier showed the jury a jar of hundreds of M&Ms, saying each one represents a billion dollars to illustrate just how rich the tech companies are. “So what you gonna fine them for this?” he asks jury.

I’m at ICE HQ

So it has begun

Least aware religious fanatic I’ve ever seen.

The U.S. loses yet another war.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

“Non-diverse participants” is the euphemism of the year

Soooooooooooo… There’s probably a good book to be written about the Devil’s Candy that is Bay FC. A once promising, ambitious new approach to building a club that, at the onset of year three, looks like a complete and utter fiasco.

ooooh temu figured out it's now shorthand for "cheap off-brand garbage" and is not happy about it

I just sent this email to the news director at NBC4 Washington about the unprofessional and disrespectful way they handled publishing the body camera footage of the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that was obtained via my FOIA lawsuit:

How I arrived on Bluesky from X

1/9: In the New York redistricting case, Justice Alito's justification for why #SCOTUS even had *jurisdiction* to issue a stay is based upon a remarkably misleading portrayal of the state court proceedings. I realize this is technical, but I wanted to write a short thread to explain the shadiness:

The United States has become a proxy of Israel is something that I don’t think is even a moderate exaggeration. A truly remarkable example of surrendering national interest to a foreign country.

On the road (at 5v5) the Rangers shooters have scored 62 goals on 61.3xG (+1%). At home they've scored 36 goals on 51.1 xG (-30%). How is that kind of discrepancy even possible.

Prof. Robert Pape: "I have studied every air campaign since WWI... I've modelled the bombing of Fordow and regime change in Iran for 20 years... We are now in the grip of the escalation trap... This has never worked in over 100 years... Trump is up against the weight of history".

Procedural liberalism on display. We support the murder of innocents, the immoral and demonic violence, but the President didn't fill out the right paperwork. The same logic that calls for higher police training budgets and more diversity among prison guards. Polishing the bars of the cage.

The government illegally took your money. They won’t give it back.

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails. it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.

To do this, anti-trans lawmakers in Kansas moved fast to change the law, overrode the governor’s veto, and pushed for the legal changes to go into effect nearly immediately. That kind of power—to void gender on official documents, to compel gender conformity—is terrifying and it will not stop here.

"Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind refugee from Burma who Border Patrol agents dropped off at a doughnut shop Thursday and left to find his way home, 5 miles away, has been found dead." To read the words is to damn all involved, from Trump on down.

Border Patrol released Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a 56 yo man, nearly blind with serious medical conditions, at "an old address & his family had since moved" in Buffalo, NY in the winter. "His family was not initially notified." He was found dead. @news4buffalo.bsky.social www.wivb.com/news/local-n...

Definitely the first State of the Union where the president talked about the military killing unarmed fishermen as a laugh line

strongly recommend preemptively blocking this guy on here. he aggressively name searches anyone wo criticizes him, jesse singal, or other transphobic journalists and posts screenshots with identifying info on twitter to encourage harassment

My internet friend @nickzararis.bsky.social with something I've been saying for quite some time. You don't win or make changes by walking out; you do so by digging in, even if it's messy, disheartening, and demoralizing. Give this one some time: weresobacksports.substack.com/p/the-sports...

The military is still just killing random people on boats in the Caribbean. No trials, no evidence. 137 kills so far

in public, the men's hockey team has been supportive of the women's team, going to games, cheering them on, saying they were inspired by the OT golden goal must be gutting to feel that support and then get first-hand evidence that behind closed doors, when it's just The Boys, they're laughing at you

I’m so proud of these dudes whose social media content I will never, ever check

You’re telling me that once this is over I have to just go back to watching the Rangers

You really really should know how to file documents.

DAILY MEMO: ICE Used 14 Vehicles to Take 6 People from Rancho Cucamonga Courthouse

yes, the wheels of justice are slow. agonizingly, excruciatingly slow. and oftentimes they miss or go off the tracks entirely. in fact most of the time. but occasionally, very infrequently, that big wheel of justice delivers theoretical remuneration for a handful of vested business interests

Can I be honest? It actually makes my teeth itch that SCOTUS is willing to step in when on this one occasion it serves their personal interests, but in matters of life and death for ordinary people they barely break a sweat telling us their hands are tied.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court. Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business. As well as everyone else who stepped up.

The Roberts Court has a clear set of guidelines: the president can do anything he pleases, so long as it does not violate the rights of the owning class.

Yes we absolutely can
