UPDATE: “The man who impersonated ICE to intimidate the employees of a Philly auto repair center — and steal about $1,000 — will face numerous felony and misdemeanor charges…”: www.phillyvoice.com/philly-robbe...

Fake ICE agents were inevitable. How can cities be proactive about this?

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest?

Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

Boyle: We just verified with the congressional budget office and of 13.7 million Americans who will lose their health care because of their bill, exactly zero are undocumented immigrants

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

Neither Neurodivergence Nor Mental Illness Made Them Bigots—They're Just Awful People It's hard to admit your heroes are jerks, but the mentally ill and neurodivergent shouldn't be collateral damage.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.

Thank you Senator Bernie Sanders for keeping this madness front and forward so it doesn’t get lost amidst all the other madness being inflicted on the American people and the world…

Does anyone remember Signalgate?

Raskin: Would it be problem for it to be standard practice to conduct sensitive foreign policy on a signal chat group? It just came out that Waltz’s team set up 20 signal group chats for crises across the world… I’m sure this will raise the question on whether he should continue in that position

Thank you for the giggle- it’s badly needed. 😊

SignalGate Is Bad; But OPSEC Isn’t Even the Worst Part Of It I haven’t had time to comment on the Jeff Goldberg story about...

“Using a Signal app like this is hiding what’s happening from the government itself. And that is almost certainly the very reason for the use. These are disappearing communications…There also won’t be any records to determine whether crimes were committed.”

A Pentagon-wide email recently went out warning about Signal's vulnerability A Pentagon-wide advisory that went out one week ago warns against using the Signal, the messaging app, even for unclassified information.

a thing that occurred to me about the Signal chat: since the messages are disappearing it’s plausible that Goldberg has better records of what was said than the administration does

Goldberg said the level of detail in the targeting package that he received via Signal was down to the *names of individuals* to be killed.

That’s the good stuff that includes all kinds of sources and methods and never should have been outside a SCIF.

I’d be in prison if I fucked up that bad.

Not a single person out of 18 of the very most senior officials in this Admin — including the Director of National Intelligence and the CIA Director — voiced any concern with highly classified military plans circulated on Signal.

You also can be sure this is not the only time.

This continues to be the biggest story in the country: DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars in 6 weeks. Not billion. half a trillion, $500 billion talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

What the Venezuelans Deported to El Salvador Experienced Exclusive photos of the arrival of Venezuelan detainees deported from the U.S.

The author of this piece is an American photo journalist who has been embedded in El Salvador. Reading this piece is frightening and it should be. It's who we are in danger of becoming. time.com/7269604/el-s...

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."

—FDR, 1937

Zero due process.

This is the first 60 seconds of a propaganda video the president shared of accused “Venezuelan gang members” being taken to El Salvador.

Hard to watch, but we should all see what is being done in our name.

Can't wait to use this logic to unpardon every J6 asshole. 🙄
