NEW: Four federal judges have formed a firewall against ICE in West Virginia — and say they’ll punish state and federal officials of they continue detaining people in ways they have ruled illegal and unconstitutional.

FWIW, this is sec. 2(c) of the War Powers Resolution:

That Americans “do not know” whether war is being waged to stop an already dismantled nuclear program or to do regime change or […] is beside the point. Americans now overwhelmingly oppose war in Iran. So too did they oppose it in 2025 when the “nuclear program” rationale was the only game in town.

The judges in WV have seen enough.

They say that if the ICE continues detaining people in ways they have unanimously deemed illegal they will start issuing civil fines and contempt findings — including against state officials who help them carry it out.

I wish you luck. I am not sure it does, but I live in hope.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

My guest, Aliya Rahman, stood up silently in the gallery during the president’s speech for a short period of time, part of which other guests were also standing. For that, she was forcibly removed, despite warning officers about her injured shoulders and ultimately charged with ‘Unlawful Conduct. 🧵

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

They're going to lie about birth control just as they did with trans people.

The pileup of blatantly unlawful conduct by the government in this case is astonishing, as is the fact that the Supreme Court allowed the govt to go forward with this program in a shadow docket ruling

When Aaron first laid this all out a couple weeks ago, my first reaction was “oh my gosh this is so much worse than I thought” and my second was “get this man out there explaining it to the public.”

HA!! Good question.

The Bad Voting Bill that Refuses to Die The SAVE Act would stop millions of eligible Americans from voting.

The SAVE Act would make voting harder for millions of Americans. It’s based on the lie that noncitizens routinely vote in our elections — the truth is that noncitizen voting is already illegal and vanishingly rare. bit.ly/4qS8wBr

This is so economically incoherent it just feels like a Mad Lib. “You have GOLD BULLION back in your UNDERPANTS with the SALES TAX because of FREE REAL ESTATE.”

Mothers and the disappeared Pregnant child detainees are sent to Texas, as harm crosses generations.

I wrote about the US funneling pregnant children in immigrant detention to a Texas facility where their rights can be more effectively restricted. I hear echoes of disappeared parents and kidnapped children in Argentina decades ago. In each case, the intent is to inflict deep generational trauma.

Your regular reminder that normal pro-democracy political parties do not make restricting suffrage the central pillar of their policy platform.
