Max Huntsman, the inspector general tasked with holding the LA Sheriff’s Department to account, is retiring… and going out with a bang in this letter 🔥

Trump is considering demolishing 4 historic Washington buildings, incl those that housed the Dep of Housing and VOA, per former gov official

WH is independently soliciting bids to recommend demolition of the historic buildings, w/o input of the General Services Administration.

My constituent Any Lopez Belloza was wrongfully deported in shackles to Honduras without proper due process.

Now, the Trump Administration is sending ICE agents to threaten her family for speaking out.

Worth noting just how impressive it is that public opinion has so steadily turned against Israel in the United States considering the fact that news like this basically does not get covered in any of the legacy media publications.

Update: The first Omni aircraft went to India and Bangladesh, meaning 34 hours shackled for migrants onboard.

The second one, per NYT and @iceflightmonitor.bsky.social, held Russians transferred in Cairo, and Iranians transferred in Kuwait.

A double chain refoulement.

Los Angeles is failing so badly at Vision Zero that it sullies the whole program.

This Washington Post investigation, where the city undid a road diet and then a woman got killed walking her dog 🤯 it's political malpractice!

Remarkable that just one day after the massive Fair Games Coalition held this rally to oppose the anti-worker actions of White House Republicans they got punked by the supposedly progressive leaders in their own city

People want crosswalks, safe streets, to be able to get around without a car AND stay alive, keep family safe ALL AT THE SAME TIME

it’s become beyond parody to watch the gymnastics that LA City will do to withhold mandated & voted for safety upgrades, even now arresting ppl for painting crosswalks

Props to @haelinchoi.bsky.social and the team from @handsoffnyc.bsky.social @bkindivisible.bsky.social @thenyic.bsky.social and the 1000+ people (incl. Rosa & me) who turned out yesterday for training/organizing events in Brooklyn & the Bronx to protect our neighbors and get Trump’s ICE out of NYC.

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.

A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

Let's not let the fact that the double strikes are unambiguously murder to overshadow the fact that *all* of the strikes on fishing boats are unambiguously murder.

Feel like this should be big news? StreetsLA is proposing to basically stop repaving our streets next year and instead do 1000 "large asphalt repairs", a term that sounds like it was made up by lawyers to get around ADA requirements. See p.154 here:

Getting word that LAPD & LAFD broke up a #peoplesvisionzero volunteer crosswalk painting in Westwood today - cuffed and ticketed at least one organizer

Embattled Planned Parenthood Affiliate CEO Wanted to Halt Abortions Sources level new allegations against Planned Parenthood Southeast interim CEO Mairo Akposé, who remains in her role after an investigation they call a "farce."

NEW: The controversial interim CEO of Planned Parenthood Southeast floated ending in-clinic abortion procedures and spoke of dropping abortion care altogether.

Leader of the affiliate serving Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi remains in her role after an investigation that sources call a "farce."

That's right

Is This Former Bravo Star Democrats’ Toughest Critic?

An interesting profile of a liberal white woman who I wasn't aware of until she interviewed Cory Booker and grilled him on his support for Israel. The piece devotes a few paragraphs to this, and how support for Palestine is now a mainstream position among liberals, but not Democratic congresspeople.

it does feel like an intense societal problem that the founder of palantir, the biggest survellience company, thinks like this

Gulf Coast train line is among the most successful in Amtrak’s history. See ridership totals. The route’s early success has raised hope for some advocates of regional train travel. See how many people have taken the train since its launch in August.

Amtrak's restored service between New Orleans and Mobile has far exceeded initial ridership projections since launch in August, just like what happened when the Borealis service was established between Chicago and St. Paul last year.

Amtrak is currently expecting to double the first-year estimates.

yeah definitely a guy who can lecture you on what's culturally normal.

"If you believe a 19-year-old Jewish college student chanting “Free Palestine” is more dangerous than the vice president of the US implying that Germans should embrace the far-right party Alternative for Germany then you’re drawing the wrong lessons from history." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/01/o...

Honestly, if I was married to Stephen Miller I would also want to die.

Exclusive: ICC shuns US demands to drop Israel war crimes probe and amend treaty Washington also called for end to Afghanistan investigation and change to Rome Statute in return for lifting sanctions

In a back channeled "offer" to the International Criminal Court, the United States proposed dropping sanctions on ICC officials if the Court

•Dropped charges on Israeli officials and pledged not to indict anymore
•Stopped investigating crimes in Afghanistan
•Amended the ICC treaty

the ICC said: no

Becoming a U.S. citizen takes years and involves immigrants acquiring a green card, extensive interviews, background checks, classes and a citizenship test. The naturalization ceremony is the final step to the process, where the oath of allegiance and a citizenship certificate are granted. Immigrants approved to be naturalized went to Faneuil Hall Thursday - known as the country's cradle of liberty - for that long-awaited moment to pledge allegiance to the United States. But instead, as they lined up, some were told by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials that they couldn't proceed due to their countries of origin.
