State prosecutors should take these cases and give them serious consideration.

ICE agents assault amNewYork reporter at Federal Plaza immigration court; another journalist seriously injured after shove | amNewYork ICE agents assaulted amNewYork's own Dean Moses, and allegedly attacked another journalist, on Tuesday morning as they were documenting the ongoing arrests of

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband.

Today they attacked two journalists.

We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

www.csis.org/analysis/lef... This report is framed irresponsibly and distorts the reality of extremist violence. The header is that left-wing terror is on the rise, and of course that will be the bite-sized takeaway. (1)

i've been studying the right-wing for over a decade

what is happening now in online right-wing spaces is fucking me up in ways that i'm currently unprepared for and don't know how to cope with

“People simply disappeared, always during the night. Your name was removed from the registers, every record of everything you had ever done was wiped out, and your one-time existence was denied and then forgotten. You were abolished, annihilated: vaporized was the usual word.“

Kamala Harris on MSNBC now saying she “always believed titans of industry” would be guardrails for democracy but now—shocker—she reports that turns out they’re not. Only, she still’s waiting! “At some point they’ve got to stand up.” This kind of willful naïveté & denial doesn’t need airtime.

Much -- not all, but much -- of the trouble with modern newspapers is actually the deep, suppurating rot in the ranks of politcal reporters: the belief that they're largely theater critics

“Tell me why can’t we use a Predator drone to obliterate that boat [filled with migrants]?”

PART 2 of my interview w/ Alberto Toscano & @stschrader1.bsky.social on Trump’s intensification of police, ICE, military repression, what it reveals about MAGA’s fascist/authoritarian project—and about illiberalism already immanent in US carceral/imperialist state www.thedigradio.com/podcast/stat...

In a normal government this guy would be fired instead of imprisoning people
"It is still a crime for anyone to seek money to improperly influence federal contracts, the legal experts said, whether they are a public official or not, and whether they ever delivered on their promise or not."

and I think that's an easy distinction to make publicly, one that normies can understand: if ICE is not bound by the Constitution then it doesn't need to be respected by anyone - not local police, not governors, not mayors, not citizens, not anyone - ICE is a rogue, anti-American gang of thugs

A woman protesting outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, was brutally assaulted by goons who used mace and sting balls on her.

Much of the violent, racist rhetoric from the man arrested for allegedly threatening the life of Zohran Mamdani is almost indistinguishable from what top GOP politicians were saying in the days after Mamdani won the primary. (Also similar to what Girdusky said to me on CNN!)

Continent at a Crossroads? It seems there may be a new kind of European Catholicism—one sharing much in common with contemporary American Christianity.

Immigration judge orders Mahmoud Khalil to be deported to Algeria or Syria “It is no surprise that the Trump administration continues to retaliate against me for my exercise of free speech," Khalil, a former Columbia University grad student, said in a statement.

If Trump can successfully fabricate this staggeringly ridiculous pretext for stripping permanent residence from Khalil, they can do it to me or anyone they don’t like. How the federal judge responds will have broad implications for whether even green card holders may speak freely in this country

Since Antifa isn’t really an “organization”, this is just carte blanche to arbitrarily declare people terrorists.

Donald J. Trump t @realDonald Trump I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices.

BREAKING: Trump says he is designating “Antifa” as a “major terrorist organization.”

Such a step being taken this way would be concerning enough, given what it actually is, but, given that Trump sees “Antifa” hiding in every corner of opposition, this could be an extremely alarming escalation.

Important thread

ICE Abducts Man Suing Off-Duty Police for Abusing Day Laborers “The Department of Homeland Security has become the department of state terror,” said Rep. Delia Ramirez.

ICE agents abducted Chicago day laborer Willian Gimenez—who is suing off-duty cops for violence at Home Depot. Advocates say his arrest is retaliation for speaking out.

this from my piece on charlie kirk is probably the most important takeaway if you want to know why bad faith, right-wing voices in media are treated as just another set of peers

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, UN Commission says “The responsibility for these atrocity crimes lies with Israeli authorities at the highest echelons,” says group’s chair.

Israel has committed genocide in the Gaza Strip, a United Nations independent commission concluded in a report published today.

The Rise and Fall of Terrorgram: Inside a Global Online Hate Network How a cadre of white supremacists used the loosely moderated social media platform Telegram to inspire lethal violence — until authorities took them down.

In March, we reported on how two leaders of a white supremacist network allegedly helped create a detailed hit list of U.S. politicians, execs, academics and others, according to court documents.

Each entry included a photo of the target and their home address.
