Way-hey! After concerted local pushback, New Jersey company decides not to contract with ICE:

Throwback to Pam Bondi’s campaign ad for Florida AG:

β€œI’ll fight to put human trafficking monsters where they belong. Behind bars.”

The ad aged. The internet remembers.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

β€œWhen they say, β€˜Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. β€œMy nation is under attack."

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

Federal immigration agents keep shooting at drivers. We tracked 15 cases since July. After each shooting, federal agencies claimed the drivers tried to ram agents with their vehicles. But the claim often falls apart under scrutiny.

Immigration officers assert sweeping power to enter homes without a judge's warrant, memo says An Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo obtained by The Associated Press reveals that the agency allows immigration officers to forcibly enter homes to make arrests without a judicial warrant.

Every American - Republican and Democrat - should be outraged by this assault on freedom and privacy.
