BREAKING: A federal jury in Brooklyn awarded our clients — 674 immigrants unlawfully jailed by the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office — $112 million. Could not be more proud to work at @latinojustice.bsky.social and to partner with the talent of Winston & Strawn.

This is a well reported article about devastating human rights violations committed by a US “ally,” but it utterly fails to make the obvious connection: that the US military is doing the EXACT SAME thing, with even less process and transparency. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/w...

Appreciate this coverage but it is hard to explain to people not in the Chicago area that THESE ARE NOT PROTESTS. This is people coming out of their homes, doing anything in their power to try to stop their neighbors from being kidnapped. It is coming for your city next, please be prepared.

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

Remember, this evening is a PERFECT opportunity to demonstrate how Communism works.

Just incredibly, unnecessarily cruel. And I’d be shocked if there wasn’t wanton corruption going on here, too.

As I've said many times, you can't build the mass deportation apparatus without first building the police state apparatus.

New: Videos show ICE/CBP agents are scanning peoples' faces on the street to verify citizenship. ICE has tool to instantly look up unprecedented number of databases with just a photo “I’m an American citizen so leave me alone” “Alright, we just got to verify that” www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

For calling J6 “a mob of rioters”??? “The two prosecutors, Carlos Valdivia and Samuel White, were locked out of their government devices and informed Wednesday morning they will be placed on leave, just hours after they filed a sentencing memorandum in the case of Taylor Taranto, the sources said.”

More than 100 former top Justice Dept officials, including dozens of former prosecutors, file court brief opposing James Comey's prosecution: "not the judgment of an impartial prosecutor, but rather an expression of retributive animus by the President" washingtonlitigationgroup.org/news/over-on...

Trying to think if there’s anything this administration could do that publications like TFP wouldn’t treat this way. Once you’re creating Overton space for extrajudicial executions, I’m not sure there’s much left.

Conservative individualism in a nutshell: the same people who said we need mass deportation so we can take care of “our own” are cheering on the suspension of SNAP because now they don’t want other people to receive “handouts.” They proudly hate other people. It’s a murderous, anti-society ideology.

This is a masterclass in repeating carefully workshopped robotic talking points that miss the forest for the trees and are irrelevant to the question at hand: Trump chose to build a ballroom instead of funding programs that would feed those kids.

Important piece. www.inquirer.com/opinion/boat...

This deserves more airtime. Especially in Philly. Especially given all of the tax breaks we give Comcast. Yet, they chose to fund this over so many underfunded institutions in dire need… www.inquirer.com/politics/nat...

Good: Jamie Raskin tells me he's formally demanding any/all internal communications between WH and DOJ on Trump's $230 million payoff. More Dems should talk this way about Trump's criming. He's turning the presidency into a massive Bribe Delivery System. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2021...

This article does a nice job explaining how difficult it is to obtain financial accountability for federal government misconduct (if you are not the sitting president making fabricated allegations of wrongdoing), BUT the underlying message is wrong… www.nytimes.com/2025/10/23/u...

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death. adamisacson.com/boat-strikes/

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

I've been litigating Federal Tort Claims Act cases for about 20 years and feel like I have at least a halfway decent handle on most of the issues that come up. But, now, my brain is broken. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

The Trump Doctrine: If a supposed “narco terrorist” survives our attempt to kill him, we send him home and let him go free. Kind of makes it look like they didn’t have sufficient proof to present in court.

An image of the Trump-Vance presidency smashing a wrecking ball into the White House to build a monument to Dear Leader—during a government shutdown—captures 2025 pretty well

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

Trump has launched seven deadly strikes in the Caribbean Sea. Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence. If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.

ICE detainees face greater risk from extreme heat than most prisoners wapo.st/4nVB9fn

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

"Repatriate" is a polite way to say "we have hidden away two eyewitnesses to unlawful summary executions." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...

Good to be a part of this litigation team.

Outstanding journalism.

CLEAR EYES, FULL HEARTS, NO KINGS

There are challenges to be sure...but EVERY SINGLE citizen detained by ICE should consider litigation under the Federal Tort Claims Act.

Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it, arrest everyone on board, interrogate them, and find out where it was going, where it came from, who the bosses are, and what the distribution networks look like.

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

Extraordinary NYT story: Trump’s DOJ pressured out another US Attorney in WESTERN Virginia for finding that a grand jury probe his bosses demanded was unwarranted. They wanted a case discrediting the Russia probe — evidence be damned. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/u...

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

You love to see @akalhan.bsky.social having successfully coined a new phrase.

We are witnessing the most lawless behavior by a leader in American history, just daily, extraordinary abuses of power. National Democrats must speak out in a loud and clear voice against Trump's escalating authoritarianism. It is time now.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

“States can’t ban conversion therapy but they can ban gender-affirming care. They can’t regulate ‘crisis pregnancy centers’ but they can ban abortion. This is required by the Constitution. If you say we’re just doing politics you’re responsible for political violence.” —The U.S. Supreme Court

These stories about transparently political prosecutions are a new low for the legal profession and especially the criminal legal system. But the stories are the logical conclusion of years of rulings eliminating accountability for prosecutorial misconduct. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

The end of due process for immigrants is the end of due process for citizens. Few understand this.

Universities considering capitulating to the Trump “conditions” should use this real world example to understand they will simply be destroying their own institution. bsky.app/profile/nich...

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

“The Govt sometimes makes brief, investigative stops to the check the immigration status of those who gather in locations where ppl are hired for day jobs; who work or appear to work in jobs such as landscaping, construction, agriculture, or car washes…” -Justice Kavanaugh
