Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago.
The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?

Special education isn't a "nice thing to have." It isn't "charity" or doing something to make us feel better. It is a right. The right to a Free Appropriate Public Education is codified in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, signed by a Republican president.

It's interesting to see who the rules bind but do not protect and vice versa, to say the least.

Nicolas Sarkozy sentenced to jail for campaign finance scandal The former French president received a five-year jail sentence for conspiring to finance his campaign with the help of Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi.

So you’re saying that a corrupt former president who abused the powers of his office can face charges and be held accountable in court?

Tell me more.

Britain, Australia and Canada Recognize a Palestinian State

Recognition of Palestine by US allies is a necessary and historic affirmation of Palestinian rights.

It must urgently be accompanied by concrete steps to stop Israel’s campaigns of forced displacement, starvation and slaughter in Gaza and annexation in the West Bank.

Gov. Greg Abbott pardons Daniel Perry, veteran who killed police brutality protester in 2020 A Travis County jury sentenced Perry to 25 years in prison last year, prompting Abbott to ask the state parole board to review his case.

I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer.

The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial.

Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.

Some of my earliest political and organizing lessons were from worker-priests and people from Catholic Action.

I'd rather ally with people of faith who do stuff than leftists whose self-appointed job is being an online bouncer for the coalition. What are you even doing?

UC Berkeley shares 160 names with Trump administration in β€˜McCarthy era’ move Prominent professor Judith Butler among students and faculty investigated for β€˜alleged antisemitic incidents’

UC Berkeley gives the Trump admin the names of 160 faculty + students for a federal investigation into β€œalleged antisemitic incidents.”

Judith Butler, one of the targeted scholars, tells me: "It is an enormous breach of trust... It's shocking. Did you consider not complying with this request?”

I suspect you are absolutely correct. Moderation at scale is complicated and pricey.

Charlie Kirk Was Not Practicing Politics the Right Way The mainstream media seems entirely uninterested in explaining Charlie Kirk's work.

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences:

"Just the other day, I was in the audience at Lincoln Center when Justice Amy Coney Barrett said, while promoting a new book, that she doesn't think the United States is in a constitutional crisis," Farias told us. "Today, the Supreme Court, without offering a single line of reasoning, more or less declared that the Fourth Amendment, which protects everyone from unreasonable searches and seizures, nonetheless allows the Trump Administration to arrest and detain anyone who looks Latino, citizen or not, on account of the language that they speak or the kind of jobs they do. The ruling putatively covers the Los Angeles area, but the effect could be national," he continued.
"If that's not a constitutional crisis, then what is?"

The New Yorker asked me β€œhow bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph:
