Savannah teacher killed in crash by man fleeing from ICE According to the Chatham County Police Department, Monday morning’s fatal crash was the result of a chase between Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and a suspect.

ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.

Elimination of emissions standards was one of the pretty clear policy stakes of the 2024 election and it received about 1% as much coverage as whether Tim Walz retiring from the national guard after 21 years was cowardly.

I think @wajali.bsky.social was clear. He acknowledges the current fight, but asks @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to lead on the long term goal of abolishing ICE. I don’t understand the leader’s reticence on that very simple, and frankly moderate position.

U.S. Deports Nine Migrants in Secret, Ignoring Legal Protections

β€œSending people to a third country where they are coerced into deportation to the country that we cannot deport them to is flatly illegal” β€” but we’re doing it anyway

We need to keep pressure up to keep the dominoes falling. She still gets to enjoy her $20 mil per year earnings. Nothing will be right until we get a progressive tax system and Epstein victim restitution. Γ€ la Catholic Church.

A newly unsealed FBI interview shows an entire Deutsche Bank staff team internally tried to cut ties with Jeffrey Epstein in 2015, after seeing wires to young women. One compliance officer says she was later pushed out and fired after raising the issue. Management kept the accounts open.

Remarkable: Majority of working class voters oppose deportations of undocumented immigrants with jobs/no criminal records, per new Marquette data.

Remember how pundits said 2024 meant Dems must become restrictionist to win back working class? I challenge that here:

DHS funding ran out at midnight last night, triggering a partial government shutdown.

Republicans had a choice between supporting massively popular, desperately needed restrictions on ICE and Border Patrol or shutting down DHS. And they chose to shut down DHS. 🧡

Brand new polling from Data for Progress, shared first with Strength In Numbers, shows voters back Dems in the DHS shutdown over ICE β€” and overwhelmingly favor key reforms such as preventing mask-wearing (+23) and requiring judicial warrants for arrests (+34): www.gelliottmorris.com/p/democrats-...

A new Republican House bill proposes sweeping changes to US toxic chemical laws that would gut protections for consumers, workers and the environment, public health advocates mobilizing against the legislation warn.

We need a framework for pro-democracy and accountability structural shifts and the Dems (who do not even use the opposition tools available to them in senate rules) are not going to be the ones to figure this out. Need a heritage foundation type of Project 2027/9, and good comms to bring people in.

FAA closes airspace around El Paso, Texas, for 10 days, grounding all flights The Federal Aviation Administration is closing the airspace around El Paso International Airport in Texas for 10 days, grounding all flights to and from the airport.

!!! No explanation except vague special security concerns. No notice to airlines or passengers. If we were going to use military action in Mexico, it would include closing the airport called the β€œgateway to Mexico.”

Moderna says FDA refuses its application for new mRNA flu vaccine The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is refusing to consider Moderna’s application for a new flu vaccine made with mRNA technology.

It is absolutely outrageous that Moderna’s flu vaccine was met with a β€œrefusal-to-file” even after their approved their protocol with FDA and carried out the trial as agreed. This vaccine works better in older adults than the current flu vaccines.
