ICE deported a Sacramento mother of 8 U.S. citizen children just one day after she accused an ICE contractor of sexual abuse. Reyna Mendoza said the officer demanded “sexual favors” in exchange for help, telling her, “If you’re good to me, I’ll be good to you.” Her story aired Thursday night.

Whenever you hear a tech bro screeching about drug addiction in San Francisco, remember that crypto is supercharging the fentanyl trade and reflect on the quote historian Rick Perlstein attributed to Marc Andreessen in 2017:

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.
