Immigration arrests in King County increased more than 300% from January to December last year. That’s according to new federal records obtained by researchers at the University of Washington’s Center for Human Rights.
Tone from the surrogates felt like gaslighting. No recognition that prices went up during supply chain crunch and then just never came back down d/t profiteering.
"Stop telling me you can't afford housing and everything is more expensive now! The economy is actually good, you ungrateful wretches!"
When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.
ICE detained a 9-year-old with severe autism and his mom for more than 80 days.
The boy depends on daily therapy, but at Dilley, those supports vanished.
Unable to understand why they couldn’t go home, he would cry through the night and hit himself, his mother told me.
My latest for @nbcnews.com
"We started a war of aggression for no reason & commenced it by accidentally bombing an elementary school & killing over 100 kids."
That simple fact is so horrific that it's just kind of bouncing on the surface of our collective consciousness. We can't absorb its full implications & significance.
New report of a woman who was improperly jailed for SIX MONTHS because of a facial recognition error
How many times will this happen before Congress steps up and enacts strong rules on how facial recognition is used?

What even happened to this guy
Lyle Lovett and His Large Band at a music festival in the 90s. I'd never thought about him before except for tabloid headlines and they absolutely blew the doors off their set. I've been a fan ever since.
More and more, Trump is making US institutions behave like Putin’s Russian versions. This was an immediate military coverup of something that should have been admitted:
More and more rot.
In 8th grade I read Labyrinths of Reason by William Poundstone and it blew my mind. Turned me onto linguistics and philosophy The single biggest factor in my philosophy-major origin story.

I regret to tell you there was a sequel, “For A Few Dollars More”
WASHINGTON (AP) — Pentagon tells Congress the first week of the Iran war cost the US $11.3 billion, an AP source says.
$11.3 billion could cover any of the following for a full year:
-1.4 million people on Medicaid
-19 million kids getting free school lunches
-1.4 million people getting affordable housing
-1.1 million hungry seniors fed
-0.8 million children given free child care
Trump and Secretary Hegseth cannot blame anyone else for the bombing of an Iranian elementary school.
They need to take responsibility and make sure it never happens again.
This is a horrific tragedy and a deep moral stain on our history. There must be accountability.
UPDATE: A tense, day-long standoff outside a South Burlington house ended Wednesday night with federal immigration agents removing three people inside and a series of violent clashes between police and hundreds of activists who tried to impede the apprehension.

Cities in Vermont and Maine are experiencing some of the same tactics that ICE has been using across Minnesota since December, and facing lots of resistance.
Even after the withdrawal of thousands of ICE agents from the Twin Cities, more than 400 remain—an unprecedented number before the surge of federal mercenaries into the city two months ago.
Thankfully, people are not finished fighting ICE.

The largest payment eliminated by DOGE was $38,468,659 to the American Institutes for Research in the Behavioral Sciences for transition support services to adulthood for disabled children served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
The missles in this video cost more than that.
A 6yo deaf boy and his family were deported during what they believed was a routine immigration check-in
His mother was seeking asylum for domestic violence and had no criminal record
DHS defended the deportation, saying the mother was under a removal order and chose to be deported w/ her children

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win
a good rule of politics is to not bail your opponents out of a mess they created, and for chrissake, don’t fucking volunteer to do it.
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
The officer who killed Ruben Ray Martinez has been identified as Homeland Security Investigations agent Jack Stevens.
Juan de Fuca
Fifty-nine-year-old Pejman Karshenas Najafabadi is currently the 11th person to have died while in ICE custody this year that we know of, and the 17th ICE-related death since the killing of Keith Porter on December 31, 2025.
