A witness in our case had ICE reject all her documents after using facial rec on her.

For her, tho, it seemed like nothing could make them accept that she has a right to be here.

Either way, a gov policy of not trusting gov-issued docs is going to violate lots of people's rights.

conspiracy to make a cop go slow

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview.

This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association.

I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

So this IL Hospital Association memo describes an incident where ICE detained a US citizen, gave them HEART PROBLEMS, took them to a hospital where the fought with medical personnel, then left when they realized they detained a CITIZEN.

M.I.T. Rejects a White House Offer for Special Funding Treatment

Breaking: MIT just became the first university to reject an agreement that would trade support for the Trump admin's higher education agenda in exchange for favorable treatment.

The big news tonight is two-fold — Trump's "domestic terrorism" memorandum and James Comey's reported indictment — and both are signs that Trump's authoritarianism is here. Now.

Both situations, though, show how weak Trump actually is.

That will be coming tonight, at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com

Fog of war! Trying to figure out whether (1) the grand jury no-billed count 1 of the indictment that’s been released, meaning it’s only active as to obstruction in count 2, or (2) they presented a 3-count indictment, the grand jury no-billed count 1, so they brought back a revised 2-count indictment

This is utterly deranged.

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

This is what fascist scholars mean when they say "don't give them an inch."

Jarvis: I hate to say this to my friends here at CNN, mass media is dying, so they're taking the last of these vestiges of institutions that matter and they're trying to turn them into propaganda organs under threat from the head of the FCC

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Debating Charlie Kirk’s legacy Kirk set an example that is, in two ways, already being honored.

I sort of guessed the answer when I asked which Kirk legacy would be honored — debating your opponent, or using state power to shut down the left.

But it happened very quickly. www.semafor.com/article/09/1...

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

Remember when Biden as a private citizen asking Twitter to enforce its moderation policies was the biggest impeachable scandal ever? Good times.

Reporter: What do you make of Bondi saying she is going to go after hate speech, a lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech.

Trump: Probably go after people like you, you treat me unfairly, you have hate in your heart. ABC paid me $16 million for a form of hate speech,

The threat here is a sign of weakness and insecurity. A sad tired old king, enfeebled and unhappy with the throne he’s won.

By my count, at least 7 universities have fired faculty or staff for social media posts about Kirk.

Clemson, University of Mississippi, U of Tennessee, Newport News, Cumberland University, Middle Tennessee State, UT Knoxville

Add to the thread if I've missed some

This is a stunningly pathological lawsuit even by Trumpian standards. It reads as if he was holding a gun to the head of the child of the lawyer drafting it.

yeah everything points towards this shooter being an internet poisoned weirdo

This is giving much more in the way of“nihilistic shitposter” vibes than a radical leftist (or pro-trans) ideology.

A photo of a law enforcement official taping off an area after Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was shot at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10, 2025, in Orem, Utah, overlaid with the headline, "Nothing Will Stop Trump From Weaponizing Charlie Kirk’s Killing to Attack the Left," and the DEK, "Charlie Kirk’s killer has not been identified. That didn’t stop Trump or his acolytes from blaming the 'radical left.'"

Wait. The same Clay Higgins who suggested Twitter execs would be investigated by the FBI and jailed for doing basic content moderation... is now demanding that social media accounts be banned for life?

I have serious doubts as to whether, after all of its politically-motivated firings, the FBI has the capacity and expertise to actually investigate Kirk’s murder. The lawsuit filed today against Patel and the Bureau describes a complete clown show that leaves all of us less safe

He joked multiple times about Paul Pelosi getting smashed in the skull with a hammer.

The media environment in the US has degraded so quickly. While Dowd's remarks weren't laudatory, they weren't crass or cheap. Compare this with the Fox News anchor suggesting *this morning* that we should murder ("involuntary lethal injection; just kill 'em") people experiencing mental health crises

YouTube’s Deal With the Devil Google once declared OAN too toxic for its platform—now Sundar Pichai and Neal Mohan are breathing new life into the conspiracy network as they negotiate a high-stakes agreement with Rupert Murdoch's ...

Back in 2020, YouTube suspended OAN's channel, demonetized it, and noted it was not an "authoritative" source.

Now, five years later, the Google-owned platform has inked a deal to put the MAGA propaganda network in millions of living rooms.
