“ICE is quietly building up its ability to spy on Americans' phones The agency activated a $2 million contract with Paragon, a service that offers the ability to remotely hack into someone's phone. [Also] ICE entered into an $11 million contract for Cellebrite devices…to break into a locked phone”

Post a non religious image you think of as holy

This is the correct explanation of what happened tonight👇

"[P]rocedurally, had she denied the request, the Justice Department could have gone to another justice. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, by issuing the order herself, she was able to set the limits." 👇

I am pretty sure under Rule 22 that DOJ could have approached any other Justice had Justice Jackson denied the stay.

This is actually a pretty standard and unremarkable move, as evidenced by Justice Jackson issuing it. But most people won't believe that for several good reasons. /1

Minnesota Nice is generally a bit passive aggressive which seems like an odd strategy. How can I help you? Oh, you want that in blue. Oh, well, that's a choice. Let's see what we can do.

Just feed people, you ghoul.

ryan is right. people HATE hearing this. but it is just a matter of simple incentives. if you want a more representative legislature — and if you want a legislature more resistant to corruption — then you need to jack up the salaries. serving as mayor of NYC should net you a cool 500K *at least*

Degenerate thugs who are not qualified to handle firearms or authority.

She should be catering her look to my 54 year old white heterosexual cis dude self who could be her father and it's just gross to think about.

A long and comprehensive opinion, but this jumped out at me: The judge accused the Federal Protective Service—which was called in to suppress the protests—of lying under oath to slander the regular Portland police.😬 DOJ recently admitted that other FPS claims in this case were objectively false.

The White House keeps unilaterally taking entirely voluntary actions which it openly says are intended to inflict more pain and then they're I guess surprised - along with most of the DC media - about why they seem to be taking the blame for the shutdown.

the adorable edgelords on Xitter et al, as far back as Trump 1 & before they loved to "joke" about Pinochet (Chile did this too) "free helicopter rides," with fucking Pepe of course. and here we are.

The Trump administration has ordered visa officers to deny immigrants who are obese or have certain health issues, in yet another instance of the president’s strange obsession with physical traits. trib.al/b0AtL8r

Like, this ought to be a national outrage, aired on all networks. It damn well would have been, if this was a Democratic administration. (Does anyone else remember Elián González?) bsky.app/profile/unra...

If approved by the Chicago City Council, it would be the ninth lawsuit filed by Chicagoans who said they were the victims of Guevara’s misconduct to be resolved, for a total cost of more than $112 million to Chicago taxpayers. @wttw.bsky.social

Not enough people are talking about this: Even before Trump cut off SNAP funding, he and Republicans in Congress made the biggest cuts to food assistance in U.S. history.

If you don't know the reference: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3.5%25_...

It's difficult to sum up the abject chaos Trump has caused by using people's ability to eat as a bargaining chip. Communication re: SNAP varies widely state by state, and it's wonderful to hear some have gotten November benefits, but many, many millions still haven't. This was totally avoidable.

The hearing before U.S. Magistrate Judge Laura McNally in the case over conditions inside ICE's Broadview facility is getting underway. It's being held remotely.

Seems we are extending the "is a bitch" cinematic universe @marisakabas.bsky.social I assume saying Greg Bovino is a bitch is a good addition.

[P] It's like all billionaires are given only two personal grooming/style options: "Main Villain from Any Jason Statham Movie" or "Living Thomas Nast Drawing"

Except they are walking around Park Ridge, Waukegan, Cicero, etc and primarily facing off against whistles and minivans.

Scaring kids and disrupting communities. Fuck these degenerates.

Walking around Waukegan like it's Fallujah in the Iraq war is just the most ridiculous degenerate behavior. They are malignant degenerate clowns.

Plaintiffs allege that lawyers still aren’t being given access to their clients inside the Broadview facility.

Reminder re: toothbrushes - these people are not violent criminals. They aren't in prison. They've been abducted by the government.

"Defendants may need clarification as to what constitutes an “overnight” stay." Just give everyone a bed, assholes.

This Broadview place meets every definition for a Concentration Camp. Read the accounts. The read the standard definition of a Concentration Camp here. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concent...

Video of members of the community yelling towards Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino and federal officers while they conduct an immigration enforcement action Friday in Waukegan.

First, all of these should have been done when the facility started housing people overnight. Second, it never should have overnight stays. Third, what fucking monsters.

My latest story about how the community at Chappell Elementary in Lincoln Square are trying to help a family after ICE took their dad. It’s a look at the disruption and resistance roiling Chicago www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/07/l...

God. Here’s the status report Bovino filed in the Broadview ICE facility case. It’s worth reading. He’s like, “OK FINE we’re getting clocks and clean bedding, but we still don’t think everyone should be allowed a toothbrush.”

Most counties in IL do not provide public defenders with investigators despite national professional standards requiring them Hopefully things will be changing soon with the passage of the FAIR Act and they, too, can be Legends

ABC so maybe this is starting to break through beyond Chicago? Hopefully.

He has now erased fully 10% of the term to which Grijalva was elected.

How democracy works.

NEW: Here's the vindictive/selective memo from New York Attorney General Tish James storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Degenerates hassling people in a trailer court.

This morning, in Broadview, 14 suburban women were arrested during an act of civil disobedience calling for an end to ICE/CBP’s kidnappings throughout the Chicago area. “We want to encourage other people who feel strongly about ICE’s actions to step off the sidelines and take our cities back.”

“How can I not be here? How can I violate everything my father taught me?” he said. “I’m here because my conscience tells me I have to be.” -John 11•01•25 Broadview ICE Facility
