Maybe consider somebody other than the Uvalde congressman to talk about how much the Republican Party cares about the well-being of little kids

Concentration camps lead to disease and death.

I'm sure Elon Musk would not care that putting "a million satellites into orbit to form vast, solar-powered datacentres" would essentially end the utility of the celestial compass for animal navigation 🕷🐦‍⬛🌍🌃

The Board of Governors decided, unilaterally, that no published textbook in the field of sociology could be used in compliance with the law for an Intro to Sociology class. None. Victor: There's not a single existing textbook on the market that could be used that would qualify under state law? Zachary: Correct. Victor: I'm sorry, that's kind of funny. Like, the absurdity of not a single sociology textbook getting past the censors. I mean, it makes me kind of proud of our colleagues, but...

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.

Great work everyone.

Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

🚨NEW: A federal judge out of Oregon has issued a sweeping rebuke of the DOJ’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls.

The opinion released Thursday concluded that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warned that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

Reminder that ICE facilities are supposed to be civil, not criminal. And yet they have been designed under Trump to be concentration camps so terrible detainees will choose “voluntary” deportation rather than continue living there.

This is evil. And history will view it—and its participants—thus.

If they make a sequel to Muppets Take Manhattan I hope they do it while he’s mayor and put him in it.

We know why they won't let folks in.

The places are horrible. I have been there. The children are abused, fed poorly, jailed in crowded & dirty rooms with bunk beds.

Privacy is non-existent. The lights never turn off. It is cold.

They aren't allowed enough time to go outside and play.

So many DHS/ICE "reform" ideas floating around as the budget fight in Congress develops.

From 2010-2014, I helped negotiate & enforce consent decrees relating to racist/violent police agencies across the country as part of the U.S DOJ's Civil Rights Division (RIP!).

Here are my general thoughts.

🧵

And I hear the concerns about all the energy that this is causing the DoJ to expend, but, with respect, some of it is of your own making by not complying with orders. Do you understand that? MS. LE: I do. And I share the same concern with you, Your Honor. I am not white, as you can see. And my family's at risk as any other people that might get picked up too, so I share the same concern, and I took that concern to heart. But, again, fixing a system, a broken system…

I have to admit, under the circumstances, I don’t find this sympathetic. I find it incredibly galling. She was a ICE attorney. Did she think the judge was born yesterday?

“This news has moved me from ‘maybe computer use should be regulated’ to ‘Butlerian Jihad Now’ on the radicalisation scale.” 😂

Don't forget Trump's repeated ideas for the last decade of rounding up poor, unhoused Americans and putting them in internment camps out in the desert. With no clear exit or housing strategy for people.

As The Washington Post goes dark, today is a good day to give your money to nonprofit newsrooms like @mississippifreepress.org.

Far from laying people off, we're hiring *more* journalists and growing vital, democracy-building work.

And we have no paywalls!

If you live or work in the Washington, DC region, I strongly suggest you look into this.

As a Texas journalist, I cannot say enough how absolutely stupid it is to lay of PATRICK SVITEK during an election year. What idiocy. Also harrowing: An already impossible job market being flooded with the most talented reporters of my generation. God help us all.

Spare a thought for my local DC peeps who are bearing the brunt of all this chaos. And still under national guard occupation.
And now have even more layoffs and the trickle down effects of that.

In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires.

I don’t think immigrants are our problem in this country.

Canceled my Post subscription, not so much in “protest” as just like… it doesn’t make financial sense for me to pay the same subscription price for like 1/3 of what I used to enjoy reading. Like Mr. Bezos I am a businessman

It's reasonable to be skeptical when your adversary suddenly tries to become your friend.

I do not want to hear the Speaker of the House make a biblical case, nor take a question from a reporter inviting him to do so. He is not competent to do so, esp since he lives in a state of sin constantly bearing false witness and supporting a covetous President who evangelizes the 7 deadly sins.

Three rules in FBI firearm training:

1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot

Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

“Attorney General James is also urging New Yorkers to submit videos or other documentation of federal immigration enforcement actions directly to OAG through its secure online portal.” ag.ny.gov/press-releas...

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.

A non-lawyer might miss that Johnson carefully dodged the question.

The question was about HOMES. He just spoke about ARRESTS.

Those are two VERY different things for warrants.

ICE is trying to undermine that distinction, which motivated the question, but Johnson bounced around it.

I was a White House ethics lawyer.

I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.

I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

you have to imagine Subway really regrets teaching an entire generation the "five dollar footlong" song

The silence from Republicans on the Epstein files tells you everything.
It’s the same reason we still don’t have gun reform after Sandy Hook.

They don’t care about children.
They don’t care if they’re abused.
They don’t care if they die.

death by preventable disease is an inevitable and even desired outcome of concentration camps. in every era of concentration camps people have died of typhus, which is a disease of privation and enforced crowding. this illness is intentionally inflicted

DOJ Released Unredacted Nude Images in Epstein Files A note from investigators in the files said some images Epstein had were "POSSIBLE CSAM."

“Once again, survivors are having their names and identifying information exposed, while the men who abused us remain hidden and protected. That is outrageous,” a group of 18 survivors of Epstein’s abuse said in a joint statement reacting to the release of data exposing their identities.
