Hey @nytimes.com attempt authentic scrutiny.

NYT: Most immigrants arrested in a Trump’s authoritarian invasions by his racial profiling goons “have no criminal record”

My Senator @kaine.senate.gov decided it was not worth fighting for. Yesterday we selected my family’s 2026 health plan which will cost us thousands more and also reflected lower employer cost sharing. A huge pay cut for insurance that doesn’t kick in until we pay thousands more.

As many expected, the truth is finally coming out, they were just fishermen. The family of the Colombian man killed in the Sept. 15 U.S. military strike in the Caribbean Sea has now filed a formal complaint with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, alleging

Boy @captmarkkelly.bsky.social tanked that question from @kristenwelker.bsky.social .
The suspect...allegedly had been unable to find a job because he had an expired work permit...
Lakanwal, ...was growing desperate, could not pay rent or food and was relying on others, the source added.

FEMA employee terminated for signing whistleblower letter It appears to be a major violation of federal whistleblower protections and constitutional rights.

SCOOP—In August, nearly 200 current/former FEMA staffers published the Katrina Declaration, a whistleblower letter detailing all the dangers posed by current leadership.

All current employees were put on indefinite leave, and now I've learned one has been fired in violation of federal protections:

"This year, a Bloomberg News analysis found that roughly “two-thirds of new data centers built or in development since 2022 are in places already gripped by high levels of water stress.”

BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene says she's resigning from Congress — effective January 5, 2026.

Astonishing to stop and realize that, at any given moment, bands of masked men armed to the teeth are storming churches and daycares, terrorizing entire communities—and that most of the country's political establishment barely blinks.

Turkey sticker shock Wholesale prices have jumped 40% from a year ago

NPR: "Wholesale prices for a turkey have jumped 40% from a year ago, according to the Department of Agriculture."

I was able to reach a staff member at @markwarner.bsky.social office. I hope he will belatedly take action on the use of commercial ID data for government purposes with inaccurate and unlawful facial ID searches via an app being used by ICE.

Calling @kaine.senate.gov back during business hours since he doesn't have voicemail after hours (like it's 1960 or something). But, the office was busy, so I had to leave a message. Deeply discouraged about my representation.

⚠️ The U.S. government is removing 80 or so Ukrainian refugees back to their war-ravaged country tonight.

We should be sending weapons instead 🇺🇦

LAW dork = I am certain that someone thought this was particularly witty when they came up with the name, but it's honestly one of the more offensive possibilities these hateful authoritarians could have used. Even on its face, using the name of a beloved children's book as the name of your anti-immigrant, mass-arrest operation is appalling. But, to use a book authored by E.B. White as your name is an offense to history. White was a leading voice for American democracy and freedom and against fascism and tyranny. Abusing his life's work like this cannot stand without a response.

When DHS dared to call its anti-immigrant racial profiling weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina, “Operation Charlotte’s Web,” I knew I was going to have to write about it.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

“I Lost Everything”: Venezuelans Were Rounded Up in a Dramatic Midnight Raid but Never Charged With a Crime Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the government’s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arres...

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants.

We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua.

At the moment, it is almost hard for me to decide whether the petty dictator of my local free stuff group or the historic dictator starving millions is worse. I know the real answer, but, man, don’t be a 🍆.

No.

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”

Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

I'm not going to tell the neighboring library system that they might have miskeyed the expiration date on my card, but I might not be able to take full advantage of the extended expiration date.

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".

But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.
