In October I testified in a federal case on new restrictions on NC’s same day voter registration policy using my research w/ Charlotte Hill on SDR and young voters. Smaller impact than much else in 2025-6 but voter suppression is still a thing.

NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign.

Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship.

Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

Thank you, Senator Markey.

The American government is torturing people!

This is being done with our taxpayer dollars in our name!

Will you stand against this horror?

Will you talk about it to friends?

Will you call Congress & demand accountability?

She's 8 MONTHS PREGNANT & was kidnapped by ICE...or someone!

When ANYONE can mask up, dress as ICE & rent a black SUV, what's to stop them from just kidnapping people?

In California, we passed a law against masks & it's not being followed.

Police aren't protecting us, no one is.

Tatiani Elliot was brave today.

She is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and gave her testimony in front of Washington state legislators. And they silenced her.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Do you know whereabouts this was?

Heads are going to explode 💥

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.

All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.

But did you look at the judge's order?

It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

Here is a collection of sworn testimonies from detainees being held in ICE custody. Until reading these testimonies, I wasn't fully aware of what is happening. Please read them yourself. We need to know this. We need to understand the consequences of ICE/CBP arrests. assets.aclu.org/live/uploads...

What do you think? @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov

Liam made people look. Now don’t look away.

We still have children in ICE custody eating bad food, drinking questionable water, living in filthy conditions, and carrying a lifetime of trauma they shouldn’t have to survive.

“That’s where ICE dragged a pregnant woman through the snow.”

"That’s where they killed Renee Nicole Good."

Crime scenes, but too many to tape off individually. A crime scene that’s a life-size map of the world.

As Oliver Hardy would say, "Another fine mess".... as Trump is trying to not just void the 17th Amendment, but seeks to bypass ratifying the change by the voters approving this by vote in each state. Otherwise he's not got time to pass it in Congress to be voted on by each state before November
