He woke up before sunrise, just like he did every workday. His wife made him breakfast. He kissed her goodbye, grabbed his lunch and work boots, patted his dog, and climbed into the white van he used to take his construction crew to work.

After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government. Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.

BREAKING: European Commission: Meta platforms' designs violate law Report says Facebook and Instagram violate the EU Digital Services Act due to "addictive" design - infinite scroll, push notifications, autoplay and heavily personalized recs - can harm minors, vulnerable adults and others

Wow. I just heard back from ICE on this. Here's their statement. No comment at all on the claim that the three witnesses in the van with the deceased man are being pressured to self-deport, and ICE refers further questions to the FBI:

Mexico will request criminal charges over 17 Mexicans who died in ICE custody or during immigration enforcement operations by the Trump admin.

BREAKING. Former Wis. judge fined $5K in ICE obstruction case US District Judge fined former Milwaukee County Judge $5,000, declining to impose a prison sentence for Dugan's conviction on a felony obstruction count.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Former Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan spared from prison for helping an immigrant evade federal agents.

Boston is suing Meta, TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube. The city says the companies deliberately designed addictive features like endless scrolling, notifications, and algorithms that harm kids' mental health. The lawsuit joins more than 1,500 school districts nationwide.

Sure, anything can happen, but Mexico, the US, and Canada eliminated b4 the quarter finals, so some things are as they have been. Then again, the ground shifted, we have seen magic, and a generation is inspired by Vozinha, Salah, Haaland, Mora, and Lumumba Vea. #CopaMudial #WorldCup #CoupeDeMonde

Sporting Mexico World Cup gear 🔥 Ok, this is pretty cool for a legislative committee hearing. And actually, given the fanatical anti Mexican in the White House, we appreciate this. #CaLeg #CaliforniaPolitics @senatorgonzalez.bsky.social

The explosion of MAGA rage at birthright citizenship ruling confirms again that MAGA is really a movement for ethnic cleansing. As we discuss on the pod, it's telling that sealed border and end to TPS/asylum don't sate MAGA. They want dramatic ethnic purges. Listen: newrepublic.com/article/2125...

Here's the argument: MAGA can't accept a sealed border, an end to TPS/asylum, and the closing of other legal pathways as success. Their movement isn’t really about securing the border. It’s about ethnically cleansing the country. My exchange with Raul Pinto on this: newrepublic.com/article/2125...

Correct ⬇️. Further evidence: The country is at war with Iran, and the head of the largest federal police force in the history of the country is on TV talking about the dangers of (non white) women traveling while pregnant. Happy 250th birthday, USA! bsky.app/profile/atru...

absolute jackassery

wtf people

Justice Jackson’s concurring opinion in Trump v Barbara (the birthright citizenship #scotus case) is required reading this week. Not every day one U.S. Justice takes another to school. Starts on page 32 of the PDF. You’re welcome.

Christ, Kavanaugh joined the judgement but dissented on the Constitutional question... meaning that the vote is only 5-4 that the 14th Amendment exists.

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.

I'm as joyous as Stephen Miller is miserable today. www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

The thing about social media age restrictions is that it treats today’s internet as an inevitability we all just have to deal with. The internet (and the WORLD) wasn’t like this until like four dudes were allowed to own & monetize as much tech real estate as they wanted. Fix THAT problem.

I feel like people with theories about Dems/immigration should be able to explain how Josh Shapiro holds high approval in a state Trump won twice while working with The Groups, opposing state law enforcement cooperation with ICE, and blocking ICE detention centers. newrepublic.com/article/2123...

The ultimate 'screw you' that Justice Alito could now do to the lamestream news establishment he so despises is to not retire this year. That'll really show NPR and make their error stand out forever.

The SCOTUS today reaffirmed the guarantee of birthright citizenship. In so doing, it affirms the 1898 SCOTUS decision in Won Kim Ark. United States. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

elderly council of wizards mandates child gential inspections.

Justice Kagan: "I'm not sure what to call a remnant of a remnant, but that is what the Court has left today. And the result will be what Justice Breyer warned of: a legal regime increasingly unable to stop political corruption, and thus to preserve our institutions' democratic legitimacy."

A Japanese fan broke down crying after his country's elimination, but a group of Brazilians fans went to console him and Mexican fans made him soar. You gotta love the World Cup! ❤️🌎⚽️ Video: RÉCORD

Every GOP official is making a decision to play along. Say it louder. The “U.S. Senate — and Florida’s Scott and Moody, who’s on the ballot in November — [will] decide whether they will allow this grave injustice to move forward.” #tps #complicity www.miamiherald.com/opinion/edit...

HAPPENING NOW: Zoom press conference with TPS leadership and lawyers in reaction to terrible scotus decision today us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

National TPS Alliance initial statement on SCOTUS decision: ndlon.org/breaking-sup...

Just a fact. We can’t go on pretending to believe in stuff like rule of law, or equal protection under law, and have the highest court be packed with corrupt fanatics. #scotus

Anyone not running on reforming the Supreme Court cant be the leader of anything moving forward. It's an unhinged gang of extremists unrestrained by anything or anyone.

Supreme Court Clears the Way for One of the Largest Mass De-Documentations in U.S. History The justices’ shameful 6-3 decision effectively destroys the decades-old humanitarian program that has allowed migrants from troubled countries to lawfully live and work in the US ndlon.org/breaking-sup...

Left: Justice Alito's description of the record in the TPS case Right: Former Secretary Noem

Sam Alito: It is the worst kind of discrimination to create majority-minority congressional districts and so we are going to kill the Voting Rights Act. Also Sam Alito: There is nothing we can do if the president cancels legal status because he thinks the United States is a white country.

Terrible #scotus decision today. What an absolute abandonment of basic rule of law, of notions of due process. Solidarity and love for so many families that are dealing with this right now. Once again, shame on so many local GOP politicians that are allowing, enabling this happen. #tps

There's a crisis taking place at your local home improvement store. People want answers, and many have shown up to defend their neighbors. Yet #HomeDepot has been SILENT. Perhaps its time Calif lawmakers make sure these stores come clean about these raids? @ndlon.bsky.social @indivisible.org

Counterpoint: We actually have zero evidence that CBP is “trained to deal with large crowds.”

“The people at the center of the debate today—the people I have the privilege of working for—are, to borrow the words of Los Tigres del Norte, ‘more American than many of the detractors who hurl epithets at them.’” @cnewman.bsky.social at the Amnesty & Chaos Committee in Congress today

National Day Laborers Organizing Network (NDLON) organized this event at the Home Depot in Monrovia, CA, where Carlos Roberto Montoya Valdez was fatally struck by a vehicle on the 210 freeway while running from ICE In August.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia faced perhaps the most crazed vendetta ever waged by a president of the United States against a single individual. Now justice has been served. From NDLON: ndlon.org/kilmar-abreg...
