Starlink down for me in CO. Seeing reports from all over saying the same, looks like a global outage!

The actual cycle of Twitter is that it was exploited by liars and Nazis in 2016 and so the company tightened its moderation rules and then a bunch of people on the right caught up in those rules decided it was biased and that included Musk who bought it and has now automated the Nazi lies.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Adrian Andrew Martinez, the 20-year-old U.S. citizen that was arrested by ICE while working at Walmart, sits down with our reporter, Aisha Wallace-Palomares, to give us insights into what he experienced. Amongst the new revelations, he shares that he was fired by Walmart.

ICE Is Using a New Facial Recognition App to Identify People, Leaked Emails Show The new tool, called Mobile Fortify, uses the CBP system which ordinarily takes photos of people when they enter or exit the U.S., according to internal ICE emails viewed by 404 Media. Now ICE is usin...

New from 404 Media: ICE is using a new facial recognition app to identify people, leaked emails show. Point camera at person, reveal their identity. It uses the CBP system that records peoples' faces as they enter or exit the U.S. Now, turned inwards to be used by ICE www.404media.co/ice-is-using...

Trump’s attack against Iran is illegal and immoral. And any leader who tells you otherwise is lying to you.

Trump Administration Knew Vast Majority of Venezuelans Sent to Salvadoran Prison Had Not Been Convicted of U.S. Crimes Homeland Security records reveal that officials knew that more than half of the 238 deportees were labeled as having no criminal record in the U.S. and had only violated immigration laws.

We obtained lists of alleged gang members used by Venezuelan law enforcement and Interpol.

Those lists include some 1,400 names. None of the names of the 238 Venezuelan deportees matched those on the lists.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

SIXTY federal agents kitted out like they were taking on Osama Bin Laden to raid a swap meet.

The ONLY people they ended up arresting were to people already going through immigration court proceedings, seemingly rearrested because ICE agents didn’t want to go home empty-handed.

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

Crazy how back then we were thinking “this guy just babbles and rambles like a lunatic” and now you look at it and go “wow he was a lot more lucid and coherent then”

It is extraordinarily weird watching him conveying a single, cohesive thought for more than five seconds here. It really does show you that, while his heart as always been several shades deeper than vantablack, there's something medically wrong with his brain at this point.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA Civil Case No. 25-1888 AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION, 321 N. Clark Street Chicago, IL 60654, Plaintiff, V. EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, 950 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20530 PAMELA J. BONDI, in her official capacity as Attorney General of the United States, 950 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20530 OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET, 725 17th Street NW Washington, DC 20503 RUSSELL T.

19. Because the threat that the President will continue to issue potentially devastating executive orders against law firms who do not "behave" remains urgent and outstanding and because it is not merely a threat but a proven pattern— this chill "of blizzard proportions" continues to grip most of the top law firms and lawyers in the country. Id. 20. That is why the ABA is filing this lawsuit. As the nation's largest voluntary association of lawyers (which counts lawyers from every AmLaw 100 firm among its membership), the ABA is uniquely situated to achieve meaningful and certain relief against this unconstitutional Policy on behalf of a substantial part of the American bar. Pursuing such relief furthers the mission of the ABA "[to serve equally our members, our profession and the public by defending liberty and delivering justice as the national representative of the legal profession." Never before has there been as urgent a need for the ABA to defend its members, their profession, and the rule of law itself. 21. The Law Firm Intimidation Policy is unlawful. Our Constitution does not vest the Executive Branch with the power to point to individual lawyers or law firms, declare by executive fiat that their work or their internal policies are "against the national interest" or otherwise illegal or improper, and direct (or threaten) executive action against that lawyer or law firm. Exercising such power-and threatening to do so-violates the First Amendment and purports to exercise

power that the President does not have. "When the government draws legal scrutiny, its response must be to defend itself in court, not to intimidate those who would force it to do so." Jenner v. DOJ, 2025 WL 1482021, at *9. 22. On behalf of itself and its members, the ABA asks the Court to declare this Law Firm Intimidation Policy unconstitutional and enjoin all the named Defendants from implementing and enforcing this Policy against the ABA or any of its members in the future.

273. Enjoin Defendants from enforcing a Security Clearance Termination Provision against any ABA member or ABA member's law firm based on the individual's law firm or legal organizational affiliation, or based on the individual's or individual's law firm's client representations; 274. Enjoin Defendants from enforcing a Government Contracting Provision against any ABA member or ABA member's law firm based on the individual's law firm or legal organizational affiliation, or based on the individual's or individual's law firm's client representations; 275. Enjoin Defendants from enforcing a Federal Building and Employee Access Provision against any ABA member or ABA member's law firm based on the individual's law firm or legal organizational affiliation, or based on the individual's or individual's law firm's client representations; 276. Enjoin Defendants from enforcing a Federal Employment Provision against any ABA member or ABA member's law firm based on the individual's law firm or legal organizational affiliation, or based on the individual's or individual's law firm's client representations; 277. Enjoin Defendants from initiating attorney conduct and disciplinary proceedings, or making a referral for disciplinary action, of any ABA member or ABA member's law firm based on the individual's law firm or organizational affiliation, or based on the identity of the individual's or individual's law firm's client representations; and

"No Kings Day" protests turn out millions Our unofficial estimate is that around 4 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop!

Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

“My family was separated by deportation, and I was left behind.” - Diane Guerrero

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

Let’s Be Clear: The Rioting In LA Is By The Cops, Not The Protestors

I already wrote about the GOP’s bloodthirsty desire to use the military on Americans. They manufactured a nonsense “crisis” by over-aggressively sending in ICE agents to grab people off the streets, leading to protests, which…

‘police initiating violence, protesters responding minimally, police escalating further—isn’t accidental. It’s that fascist playbook all over again: manufacture the violence to justify the violence you initiated. We should all be calling it out for what it is.’ @mmasnick.bsky.social is 💯 on point.

Buffoonery aside, I think a lot of Americans can't process that multiple generations of Germans renounce and revile past actions rather than treat them as an aspect of of their culture that must be maintained.
