Trans athlete bans always get used to police cis women's bodies. The athletes affected by this are disproportionately Black. There's a direct through line from this stuff to racism.

Task and Purpose is doing a great job covering the military’s presence in LA. I recommend following them to stay-up-date and informed about it.

This is beautiful. This is art. Btw, this filmmaker has been arrested by LAPD for filming an ICE kidnapping. More info in the comments.

His girlfriend’s aunt Grace Layva says she and her family made numerous calls looking for him before they found out he was being detained in the Florence Correctional Center, which Immigration and Customs Enforcement uses to detain people. Another family member drove to the detention center, about 70 miles northwest of Tucson, but said officials wouldn’t provide any information or release him. ICE did not respond to a request for comment about the wrongful detention. The family later provided officials with his birth certificate and social security card. “He did say he was a U.S. citizen, but they didn't believe him,” Layva said. “I think they would have kept him. I think they would have if they would have not got that information yesterday in the court and gave that to ICE and the Border Patrol. He probably would have been deported already to Mexico.”

A Border Patrol official arrested a 19 yo citizen from Albuquerque in Arizona who didn’t have ID on him, claimed he ‘admitted’ to illegally crossing the border, abducted + ICE imprisoned him for 10 days, and would have deported him to Mexico if his family hadn’t tracked him down and provided his ID.

My friend and yours @caseyjohnston.bsky.social linked to this piece in a recent newsletter, and it really got at the vibe of what a lot of things feel like culturally these days. Can we bring back SOME sense of shame and integrity? Like, just a little?

Paging Dr. Land Baron Nonprofit hospitals are building tax-exempt real estate empires — and working to crush politicians who stand in their way.

INVESTIGATION: Hospital chains are buying up billions of dollars of real estate, milking them for income while using charity status to avoid taxes that fund schools & emergency departments. Some are now using taxpayer-subsidized fortunes to buy elections.

Folks, this is a scam.

The GOP is helping Elon Musk and his friends loot the federal government and give themselves billions in federal contracts—and then wants to give them permanent tax breaks on the back end by cutting critical programs.

Let's call it what it is: a scam on the American people.

Like this angle 🤌🏼

The "Is it a constitutional crisis yet?!" discussion is so absurd: Of course you can construct increasingly esoteric definitions for why this current moment doesn't meet your exact criteria yet. But meanwhile, this is where we are: Masked agents of the states abducting people for writing op-eds.
