If you need a little humanity here you go.

Going bonkers for summer produce.

The Trump/Miller Doctrine is to do something awful so many times over and over that it eventually stops being covered as news. Bombing boats in the Caribbean, bombing other countries, threatening allies, ICE murders, etc. The first few times? Big news. Now? Barely even mentioned.

Seems like it might be a good time for everyone to revisit my reporting on the Coffee County voting system breach and my analysis of the FBI’s affidavit in support of its search at the Fulton County elections hub: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/what... www.lawfaremedia.org/article/fult...

Pointing out that ICE is murdering people they’re not looking for clearly isn’t to say it would be right for them to murder the people they are looking for. It’s to highlight how they are bringing roving terror and arbitrarily death to the whole US population. There’s no containing their threat.

Trump’s power to “declare a national emergency to seize power over the election apparatus” has the same effect as my power to declare myself the proud new owner of a pet unicorn.

With respect, step 2 ISN’T A THING. His advisers desperately want it to be a thing. That doesn’t make it a thing. When/if he declares a “national emergency,” the state and local officials who _actually_ run elections just won’t listen. Can we please stop pretending Trump is a magical wizard?

ICE killed a Colombian man. He was legally authorized to work. His wife and 3-year-old daughter were in the car when ICE fired at least 5 times. He was not their target. Agents wore no body cameras. This is fascism. Prepare: PAXIS.app Keep it free: GoFundMe.com/PAXIS

You just voted to give these thugs another $70 Billion. You’re complicit in this and every other murder committed by Trump’s secret police.

“LULAC’s CEO, Juan Proaño, joins us to share his experiences with the family of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, who was shot and killed by ICE in Houston last week. The details are horrific, down to the inhumane way ICE handled Mr. Araujo’s hospital transfer.” open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

His name was Joan Sebastian Guerrero. Reports say his wife and 3 year old daughter watched him die.

It's not like Biddeford is Berkeley. Something happening here.

The ICE Murders Surge talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-i...

My god

Children are being detained at the Dilley ICE facility—and the regime is fighting to keep what happens inside a secret. Secrecy is how abuse survives. Demand Congress close Dilley and end the secrecy around child detention. Sign now:

Joan Sebastian Guerrero. Say his name.

The heart breaks.

Our biggest mistake with ICE is Miller set them up like they were a police force. Does anybody remember pre-Trump whether ICE wore mask, military gear and assault rifles? They wore suits, carried side arms and subpoenas because they knew who they were going after with court approval.

"This place does not seem to be designed for humans to be here." Inside Camp East Montana, ICE's largest detention center, people describe the tent complex as abusive, inadequate, and dangerous for human survival. It's past time to shut it down.

Tell the Senate to reject Jay Clayton for director of national intelligence. Clayton just subpoenaed four @nytimes.com journalists over their reporting on the Air Force One plane Qatar gifted to President Trump. Someone who targets reporters shouldn’t be DNI.

Vaccines are so effective they created an entire generation of people who think the diseases they prevented weren’t a big deal.

Whatever actually happened in Maine, this much is clear Immigrants aggressively chased by goons in unmarked vehicles know instinctively that if they stop a) their family will be broken forever and b) they're headed to a gulag where folks die from neglect So they panic And ICE murders them

"She was still in her Bluey pajamas."

Anything from Maine’s Senators on the ICE murder in Biddeford?

Every single person in Maine and everyone around the country with a sense of humanity and decency need to remember this today. mainebeacon.com/collins-vote...

If only there was some indication before June that the lawless paramilitaries Susan Collins sent nearly $40,000,000,000 to last month might not use the money she gave them to make it easier to hold them accountable. #MEpolitics

A report on the ground from the ICE shooting in Biddeford that should make every parent in this country lose their minds:

Still waiting for the @erikloomis.bsky.social obituary . . .

These murders are not isolated unfortunate accidents. Why are they happening? Markwayne and Stephen Miller need to be hauled in to testify to Congress. And survivors need to pursue answers through all their grief.

Witness tells Maine newspaper that the man ICE shot in the head this morning said "I tried to stop" as he was being pulled out of his SUV, then fell to the ground and died. www.pressherald.com/2026/07/13/b...

Ahem.

Long, wonky read but worth it. A new Census Bureau policy altering privacy protections comes straight out of policy pushed by Russell Vought's think tank and a law suit backed by Stephen Miller's America First Legal talkingpointsmemo.com/news/right-w...

Scholarly folks who have ever received federal funding: today is the deadline for public comment on proposed revisions that will decimate our national research capacity and replace expertise with political whim. Please consider throwing in your 2¢. See below for some useful links and encouragement.

Take every opportunity to fight back. First step: elect Democrats who are ready to take on big structural reforms.

Iran controls the strait. Trump continues to lie that it doesn’t because it is a humiliating defeat for him. Why press play along I do not know

Murder for murder’s sake

And check out @gillianbrockell.com's original story on this for Mother Jones. She is the only reason I and many other people even know this is happening: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Watch this.

To those of you tut-tutting about people speaking truth about Lindsey Graham because we can only say nice things about the dead: Lindsey Graham *slandered* the dead.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE. His three sons called him “El mundo entero” — the whole world. They watched as their whole world died in a video posted on Facebook. Lorenzo was our neighbor and fellow Texan. He deserves justice.

MS NOW: Two Atlanta-based FBI intelligence analysts were fired last week after refusing to participate in the Trump admin's investigation of Georgia's 2020 election. The analysts told colleagues they did not believe the investigation was justified under FBI and DOJ policies.

Weekend Update, starts with the notable and strategically important Ukrainian campaign to stop all Russian shipping in the Sea of Azov. This is not receiving the coverage it deserves. Also, Trump did not help Ukraine, he gave Putin time. And Ukraine attack Omsk-wow. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

My image of Senator Graham will always be his spitting mad tirade against Dr. Blasey Ford at the Kavanaugh confirmation. It was probably his most effective and emblematic political performance, and history will remember him for it.

I mean it’s why they pay us the big bucks

Has anybody checked on Chuck Grassley?
