So after Trump pardoned Honduras's narco-president, the admin didn't just let him out--they canceled an immigration hold and sent a specialized team to **chauffeur him to the $1k/night Waldorf Astoria.** “It's "absolutely fucking nuts,” said one official www.propublica.org/article/trum...

James Talarico: “This is the party that ran against cancel culture, and now they are trying to control what we watch, what we say, and what we read. This is the most dangerous kind of cancel culture — the kind that comes from the top."

How does this not conflict with freedom of association for private business I,e. 303 Creative?

but 303 Creative?

When Ds are back in charge, they have to change everything. No moderate half-measures. Just relentless razing of the corrupt institutions that enriched the worst people in the world and propped up fascism. A few suggestions...

Lotta good that capitulating to Trump did you, Northwestern

Saying the Epstein files are proof of a secret Jewish cabal controlling the world, instead of simply proof Epstein and his cohort were horrible, is antisemetic and shitty. Also don't engage with the larger truths those files are revealing about society and power. Leave Jewish people out of this.

We have received numerous credible reports of torture, killing, and inhumane treatment of detained individuals at the Camp East Montana migrant detention facility, located within Fort Bliss. #txlege

Two females in their SUV, in a driveway, honked their horn when they saw ICE-holes cruising through to alert everybody. In response, they got assault rifles pointed in their faces, their window busted, and hauled away like they killed somebody. #FuckICE #ProudBlue #ICEout

Can’t wait to see this dude versus Andressen in the final battle to determine who is most egg

On the one hand, maybe no more Alito. On the other hand, who will fill the open spot?

As a certified Pats hater I’m real happy

NEW: Leqaa Kordia — who’s been in ICE detention for nearly a year, since ICE took her the same week as Mahmoud Khalil — has been hospitalized after having a seizure. Her whereabouts & health are now unknown. The Trump admin alleges she supports Hamas because…she sent money to help family in Gaza.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

BREAKING: A 5th Circuit panel has backed ICE's mass detention policy, a decision that clears the way for the administration to lock up people who are in immigration proceedings It's a 2-1 ruling Majority: Jones (Reagan), Duncan (Trump) Minority: Douglas (Obama) s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

In an opinion dismissing Trump's attempt to get an unredacted copy of Oregon's complete voter registration list, a federal judge cites Bondi's extortion letter to Gov. Walz as support for denying the government a presumption of regularity storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend. They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.

Frankly Penn Station under MSG is a pretty apt place to name after that man

This is a remarkable @nytimes.com split screen: A huge 3,526 word + photos profile on Sen Britt who "can't stop thinking about the boy ICE detained" But Rep Jaoquin Castro- who actually got Liam Ramos out of detention & back home- gets no interview, no pix, just 116 words inside a story. WOW.

the medical group that opposes gender-affirming care is … plastic surgeons?

NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program. This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE. Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

THREAD 🧵: The Epstein files are real. The antisemitism they're fueling is also real. And right now, the second part is getting almost no attention.

And all without congressional representation to fight back

“Let us be clear: we want the power of the state. We wish to hold the criminals of the regime accountable. We wish to seize back the public funds looted by Trump and his cronies. We wish to undo the damage he has done to the government. More than any of that we wish to rebuild.”

One by one, Europeans mentioned in the Epstein files who still hold political office are beginning to resign or are being forced out of office. Meanwhile, ruled by an administration almost entirely made up of Epstein associates, the US carries on as if nothing really happened.

Looks like this is her main qualification

Never forget: Pam Bondi and Kash said there was nothing in the Epstein files back in March

I would also accept him shouting “It’s da Bat!” in an Arkham Asylum game

In many of the first generation of modern concentration camp systems (near the turn of the twentieth century), the vast majority of deaths were caused by disease and malnutrition. Most of the victims were women and children.

Bad Bunny: Before I say thanks to God, I'm going to say, ICE out. We're not savages, we're not animals, we're not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans.

second dance club of the night. Here’s what I got handed as I walked in. The feds are cooked

I recorded this today, in Portland, Oregon, at a huge march to the ICE facility in SW. The crowd was full of cyclists who had ridden there in memory of Alex Pretti; members of several labor unions; and ordinary citizens of every age, including this little girl. So of course ICE deployed tear gas.

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

This is pretty much exactly what the First Amendment does not allow

I unfortunately have a sense of what this Court might say, but it does seem like the administration is trying to assert the superiority of the free exercise clause to all other constitutional provisions — including free speech

insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!

Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists. Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews. All Black. All doing their jobs.

Hey @medillschool.bsky.social you guys wanna condemn this or?

An uprising of children in a DHS concentration camp in Dilly, Texas! They focused on the mistreatment of Liam Conejo Ramos, a 5-year-old from Minnesota, abducted with his father by ICE last week Immigration attorney Eric Lee could hear shouting [and] believed “hundreds of children” took part.

In the Jewish quarter in Prague, there’s a museum that contains dozens of drawings of kids held in Treblinka. And they look pretty damn similar.

I have a forthcoming article which touches on this issue, but — despicable as it is — NPS likely has authority to do this under government speech doctrine.

That's up there with "lawyer dog" in the annals of bad faith cop interpretations of people waiving rights

gallego sucks (his position on trans issues means I will never trust him) but it's very good that a frontline, moderate-coded member of the senate caucus is calling for miller's head and hopefully it will help drag the rest of the squishes towards this position

my grandmother, an Auschwitz survivor, was Anne Frank’s neighbor in Amsterdam, and Oma thinks this comparison is perfectly apt

Democrats should demand every sitting Republican decry this attack and explicitly denounce it, and then censure all of them when they don’t do it. Act like normal decent humans defending your colleague.

someone just tried attacking rep ilhan omar at her town hall in north minneapolis, reportedly trying to spray her with something, but was tackled before he could get to her. she returned to speaking

Maher Tarabishi, who has been detained by ICE since October, was the primary caretaker of his disabled adult child, Wael. On Jan. 23, Wael died from complications related to Pompe disease, a rare genetic condition. ICE has now denied Maher’s request to attend his funeral, his attorney says.

I’m done with this shit. This isn’t a game. And if you don’t realize that the work of Judges Xinis and Boasberg and Ellis has been an essential part of forcing this administration to account for its actions, you’re not a serious person.

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.
