He has now erased fully 10% of the term to which Grijalva was elected.

This sure looks like purges as part of a larger effort to politicize the military.

Hard to overstate the seriousness. A professional, non-politicized, civilian-controlled military is one of those historically amazing things 2020s Americans take for granted.

The alternative is considerably worse.

It’s been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona.

Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear her in because she’s the final vote for the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.

Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

A coalition that ranges from democratic socialists to neoconservatives, including a lot of energized liberals in between, is large and formidable.

A big pro-democracy tent. A united front. Any internal disagreements can be hashed out once the authoritarian emergency is over.

This really can work.

Of course the president can’t subvert the Constitution by lying that there’s an emergency. If lying that there’s an emergency is a magic loophole granting the executive branch the powers of Congress, there’s no point to Article I.

The fact that this is even a question is a sign of degradation.

An American Tail poster with lil ol mouse immigrant Fievel

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

ICE detains U.S. citizen for 7 hours after she photographed agents in Oregon Authorities claim Berenice Garcia-Hernandez "aggressively followed" agents, while she says she was targeted for documenting their presence to warn the community.

ICE detained a U.S. citizen for 7 hours in Portland after she photographed ICE agents.

As of Tuesday morning, ICE still had her phone and her engagement ring, she said.

Every single journalist with expertise in extremism I know has been fired or their publication has folded.

Not a coincidence, of course. Grateful for their work, but unfortunately for almost all of us, this work will now have to be the side hustle.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Teen Vogue did some great journalism around immigration detention and enforcement. Sounds like corporate has now killed that off.

The media landscape shrinks even further.

...and less than 24 hours later CondΓ© Nast has fired Lex and the rest of the Teen Vogue political desk, even as stories like this were bringing huge numbers of readers to the site

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

This is a big WTF. Teen Vogue had (surprisingly) some of the best politics reporting of the past several years.

This quote continues to rattle me to my core:

"So what you’re telling us is you need less evidence to kill somebody than you do to hold them."

That's Rep Adam Smith to Pentagon officials in a briefing on Trump's illegal boat bombings. As he told me in this piece, they didn't answer his objection:

HOLY SH!T

Please read it.

A U.S. citizen, a father on his way to work at a food bank, takes the time to stop and talk to immigration agents, asking them to protect children, and they SHOOT HIM IN THE BACK.

REPOST! PLEASE!!! We cannot let this continue.

More than 170 US citizens have been held by immigration agents ProPublica uncovered that Americans have been kicked, dragged, and detained for days.

ICE has beaten, detained & arrested 170 citizens, at least 3 of whom were pregnant

George Retes is a US veteran who was held in solitary for 3 days

Kristi Noem says it’s not happening, but @motherjones.com has done the reporting

If they treat citizens this way, imagine what they do to immigrants

β€œDems moved too far left” means BLM and trans equalityβ€”and for some, taking COVID seriouslyβ€”and many Dem politicians really do support those things.

There’s tons of noise and euphemism, but that’s the core argument.

And it is a misguided one, since Dems won the election after that move, in 2020.

Everyone deserves food security. Today, I sat down with my friends Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal and Kenji LΓ³pez-Alt to discuss keeping our city fed as the President ends SNAP benefits for millions of Americans.

Yeah it’s getting kind of hard to help but my guess is maybe it’s the wrong iso. If it’s arm64 try x86/64 or vice versa (there should be a choice when downloading the iso)
