Update: The admin is moving to quickly deport witnesses who saw ICE detainee die. They say the man was just trying to get his meds. ICE guards shackled him Then they choked him. The admin moved to deport the witnesses — right after they spoke to WaPo. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Trump is privately worried about the "optics" of ICE raids and his advisers are looking for ways to soften them, Axios reports. I'm calling bullshit: The terror and violence cannot be hived off from the broader policy agenda. They are 100% intrinsic to it. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2053...

Every few weeks we get a story like this and it always fizzle out. Stephen Miller is in control. Let's not pretend otherwise. Even when Brooke Rollins convinced Trump to *publicly* say he'd back off of some raids, it took Miller just 48 hours to browbeat Trump into changing his mind.

This has been the plan all along. - Foment violence and chaos in the streets of MN - Implement the Insurrection Act - Declare Martial Law - Suspend elections

“The most wealthy and powerful tech CEOs are still staying silent as ICE floods America’s streets, but now some researchers and engineers working for them have chosen to break rank.” Great @laurengoode.bsky.social story:

Your government says it can get away with murder.

NEW: Mass resignations at the DoJ Civil Rights Division - including the Chief of the Criminal Section - over the administration’s refusal to investigate the murder of Renee Good. www.cbsnews.com/news/minneap...

Note this: ICE agents are already used to acting with little oversight as their targets are powerless. Now with Trump, Noem, Vance saying Renee Good's killing was okay they'll think they have full impunity. On the pod, @timdickinson.bsky.social explains this so well: newrepublic.com/article/2052...

BREAKING: New York City is flooded with peaceful anti-ICE protests and it’s driving the right insane. They needed riots. They needed excuses. Instead they got Americans calmly rejecting authoritarian bullshit in the streets.

They refused to probe a murder. The people with consciences walked out. 🚨 NEW: At least four leaders of the DOJ Civil Rights Division resigned because the section's head, Harmeet Dhillon, decided not to investigate shooting of Renee Good.

Every 👏🏽 Blue 👏🏽 State

"At schools, volunteers are forming human chains as students and employees enter and leave, with whistles to blow if ICE shows up. Volunteers—many of them moms already involved at their schools—divvy up tasks, such as delivering groceries to immigrant families..." www.wsj.com/us-news/insi...

Every news outlet that broadcasts Trump officials telling barefaced lies about the ICE killing in Minneapolis should display the video of the shooting on a continuous loop concurrently with the officials’ claims.

Congress, not the president, has the power to decide when and against whom the United States goes to war. It’s a core component of our constitutional system of checks and balances. Stay informed by subscribing to The Briefing, our free weekly newsletter: bit.ly/3Yrz5jM

DOJ is in clear violation of the law Congress enacted. Yet, legacy media continues to act like DOJ is undertaking some Herculean effort to comply. Here is the New York Times' latest vs Democracy Docket's. See the difference independent media makes? Support it now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

The Department of Justice has sued 24 states and the District of Columbia for access to sensitive voter data on more than 100,000,000 Americans. My law firm has intervened on behalf of voters to fight DOJ in 23 of the 25 cases. Tomorrow we will do the same in the remaining two. Stay tuned.

Last January, when many of us were telling everyone that Trump's appointees were all terrible, The Washington Post gave thumbs up to many of the worst of the worst. Listen to and support independent media. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Today once again proved that everyday citizens protesting their government are braver than the titans who own the largest media corporations, run the biggest law firms and lead the most powerful technology companies.

Trump just said "all" of Venezuela's oil must be made accessible to US oil companies. Trump wants to emulate Putin's model: Authoritarian, expansionist rulers carving up their regions and distributing the spoils of conquest to friendly oligarchs. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2049...

And detainees are held for much long periods of time than needed so that these companies can charge more and make billions extra. It’s state sanctioned human trafficking.

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

I’ve made a copy of the 60 Minutes INSIDE CECOT segment. If Substack takes it down, I’ll put it up on my website. I know there are cleaner copies out there, but I kinda like the punk rock bootlegged version. The link is in my pinned post if you haven’t seen it yet.

The 60 Minutes segment on immigration & #CECOT that was pulled in the US, was shown in Canada. It's terrifying & shows state sanctioned torture was being paid for with $4.7 Million of our taxpayer dollars & done in our name! ⚠️Trigger alert⚠️ This content is for a mature audience only & includes SA.

A new report from researchers at the Yale School of Public Health warns that the U.S. government’s abrupt cancellation of funding for mRNA vaccine research could have devastating health and economic consequences for the nation.

Project 2025 white Christian Nationalism is in full effect. Republicans attacks on corporate DEI are strictly ideological, hateful.

"Just a day and a half before it was set to be broadcast... Bari Weiss pulled a planned 60 Minutes investigative segment centering on allegations of abuses at an El Salvador detention center where the Trump administration sent hundreds of Venezuelan migrants last March." Oh how far they've fallen 😡

NATO Chief Rutte: "We need to be ready. Russia has brought war back to Europe, and we must be prepared for the scale of war our grandparents and great-grandparents endured."

I think it's great that folks are shifting the climate policy focus on city and states — where it belongs. Good stuff! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The New York Times is suing the Pentagon claiming a violation of the 1st Amendment for its restrictions on journalists. The Pentagon is limiting journalists in their press conferences to those who will print only what the Pentagon approves. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/Au7VY5QniRKO...

Heather Cox Richardson: “it's important to remember that the larger picture is one in which this adminstration is under enormous stress and the momentum is on the side of those people pushing back against it” (1:56) #USDemocracy

He’s gesturing to a sleeping man as he says “He’s the only leader in the world who can help end [the war in Ukraine].”

The White House says their peace plan didn’t come from Russia — the problem is it reads like Putin’s wishlist. We need a deal to end the war that actually protects Ukraine and doesn’t reward the war criminal who started this.

Ty! @chaserbaybe.bsky.social

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

So after over 8K complains of sexual assault in the military in 2024 alone, Unqualified Pete Hegseth declares his answer: “No more anonymous complains... no more walking on eggshells.” Just like Trump, instead of addressing the problem, he is silencing the victims.

There is no bottom. The most catastrophically unqualified cabinet of all time. It’s all a vanity project. “The most powerful country in the world” decided to give away leadership, values, prestige, influence for entertainment.

Trump: “We want war because we want no wars.” He sounds like a moron — and worse, the “peace” candidate has dragged us into new wars and turned the Pentagon into his personal Department of War. Dumb and dangerous.

Pritzker: Trump looked at the cameras and asked for me personally to say, Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city? Instead, I say, Mr. President, do not come to Chicago. Your remarks about this effort have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties
