I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

NEW: SCOTUS majority says Trump can ignore precedent if the majority doesn't like it. A 90-year-old precedent meant nothing to the majority allowing Trump to fire an FTC commissioner during litigation. This is no way to run a court, let alone a country. Tonight, at Law Dork:

Excellent outcome for the case! It’s notable that this began before Trump took office, although it got worse after. When the government alleges someone is connected to terrorists, it can be extremely hard to get them to back down.

Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water. These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested. They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.

I wrote a piece in July abt how a lot of liberals simply can't understand authoritarians use language differently than liberals. That's what Ezra doesn't understand. Or one thing he doesn't understand. He doesn't understand how threatened marginalized people are www.emptywheel.net/2025/07/06/s...

In his new piece--which is largely about the reaction to his last piece--Ezra Klein says that he is deeply shaken by Charlie Kirk's murder essentially because they were in the same business: They both did public politics. This is honest on his part. It's also the problem. >

A major public university caves to fascism.

Rubio has already sought to punish immigrants for speech. New legislation might let him do it for U.S. citizens.

Basel Adra, the Palestinian co-director of the Oscar-winning documentary “No Other Land,” told The Associated Press that Israeli soldiers conducted a raid at his home in the occupied West Bank on Saturday, looking for him and searching his wife’s phone.

Trying to figure out how to alert Brett Kavanaugh that his wildly permissive standard for kidnapping can sweep up Irish guys as well.

450 were napped by ICE at a Hyundai construction site in Georgia, where 3 workers had been killed. Workers complained about the deaths to Trump's OSHA, which did nothing. Instead, ICE showed up in an act viewed as retaliatory. paydayreport.com/450-napped-b...

Illinois strengthened its anti-SLAPP law after a nonsensical court ruling excluded news reporting from the law’s protection. This prevents elites from chilling and punishing "constitutionally protected speech, including journalism," we told @kgosztola.bsky.social.

This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4

New Bloom is participating in a global media blackout organized by @avaaz.org and @rsf.org today against the killing of journalists in Gaza. To read more and see the full list of signatories, see here: rsf.org/en/rsf-and-a...

NEW: my office has received disturbing whistleblower reports that the Trump administration plans to separate 700 children from their families, lawyers, and support systems. Disappearing vulnerable children beyond the reach of American law and oversight is beyond depravity.

Here's more on this in a note at Law Dork from @chrisgeidner.bsky.social: substack.com/@chrisgeidne...

There aren't many stories that prompt gasps at our editors' daily budget meeting. But this was one.

NEW: A group of DNC members are pushing to bring Resolution 18 to a full DNC vote. The DNC Resolutions Committee killed it earlier today. It calls for a ceasefire, arms embargo to Israel, and recognition of Palestine. Just 8% of Democrats approve of Israel's military action in Gaza.

After all the fancy constitutional arguments & faux historical glosses, this is the practical endpoint of the unitary executive theory. Because when presidential power is effectively unchecked, the only thing preventing it from devolving into authoritarianism is the decency of the officeholder.

We are now staring down the barrel of a bona fide, definitional fascist takeover of the United States—and the pro-democracy leaders and institutions that remain need to be thinking hard not only about countering Trump, but the litany of failures that feed him. trib.al/UwbdiV6

Note the slippage: Eye glasses recording audio and visuals is acceptable if an indicator light shows when they're recording. But that privacy fig-leaf is needed only because Meta has a reputation to protect. Daring, scrappy tech bros can let it all hang out with their disruptive product. #privacy
