Situation on 14th St and W St. NW, with federal agents -- no specific agency identified -- pulling cars over for checks. They arrested a Black woman in this car.
BIG crowd of people shouting at police. 
"Fuck you!"

            I am congenitally resistant to conspiracy thinking, but this really does feel like a eugenic plot. There is some dark, pseudo-Darwinian thinking on the right that equates illness with moral unfitness, and prefers that the weak die, indeed demands that they be culled. Truly a death cult.

            A philosopher recently told me that this exact quote was used when CEU was kicked out of Hungary. She told me this months ago, saying that what's unfolding in the US is eerily similar to the path Hungary has taken. Next, "the sciences will start blaming the humanities, causing a rift in academia"

            Bill Moyers was the epitome of a truth seeker. In an era when itβs political to say facts matter, Bill cut through that & told the stories no one else was telling. Meeting him as a young organizer was one of the honors of my life. The world needs more Bill Moyers & I am grateful for the life he led.

            Ted Cruz just said Mr. Abrego has been charged with Human Trafficking. Cruz proclaims "I read every word of that indictment!" Apparently not, because Abrego was not charged with human trafficking. 
I hope this comes up in a motion to dismiss the charges.

            This book is riveting and so, so infuriating. It follows 5 families in Atlanta who are struggling to remain housed and paints deeply compassionate portraits of each unit. It reads almost like a novel but is outstanding journalism
