my expectation of democratic senators is that they find 1/10th of the bravery of your average 70 year old lutheran lady following ICE around mpls in her subaru crosstrek
A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN:
"I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind."
and
"The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back."

This is 100% FALSE. Immigration judges do NOT play any role in issuing administrative warrants. They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves. ICE’s own training materials say they can’t be used for a search of a home!
Here’s a blank warrant form. Note who signs it.
When I was at the White House my team wrote policy that specifically addressed this - the use of often discriminatory facial recognition tools in law enforcement contexts or other areas where civil rights were in play. The image below was the worst case scenario - what we were trying to avoid. 1/3
Been a while since I posted a fit, so here are a few
Beep beep! This is closing soon. I'm getting my submission ready 🤞🏻
Equality of rights is a baseline precondition for a liberal democracy, and advocating for the end of that condition is not compatible with a commitment to the liberal democratic project.
Republicans are now suddenly planning to TAX renewable energy, transforming the repeal of the IRA from a challenge to a full-blown crisis for American solar and wind.
I spent the last 24 hours putting this story together to explain why.
Please share! This is really important!!!

Ohhh yes I see what you mean. Bust and hipline all wrong, dang
The Schiaparelli one is weird in an almost cool way but like it doesn’t go hard enough. Like I wish they pumped up the exaggerated proportions 20-50%, or at least she should have worn a giant-ass hat with it
Also struck by the intellectual and aesthetic poverty of thinking that the sole purpose of reading a book is “to get information.”
We didn’t make long at the protest today but it was beautiful to see everyone out using their voice
Never change, Portland
This is extremely Not The Point but it’s funny to me that they built this with a deprecated software tool: Create React App. Faster and more performant boilerplate web app tools eclipsed it years ago. Not very cutting edge technology of them
Umm can y’all help me with something goofy? I’m trying to win some sweet sweet merch from iconic regional porta potty company Honey Bucket by getting 1000 likes on this post. I’m almost there www.instagram.com/p/DKZ4ASwRX41/
Now unveiling my new personality feature as a bolo tie wearer.
Bolo tie, work shirt, and jeans (which I appliquéd a bunch of circles on) all from local vintage shops. Polka dot over shirt made by my sister from some beautiful quilting cotton our aunt bought in Japan
Hell yea conferences need WAY more of this energy
The Utah Report shows exactly what the people commissioning it didn’t want to see, that gender affirming care works.

Also also they frame the VIP ticket requirement as “get your company to buy it,” which, fine. But at a time when lots of smaller companies & orgs are cutting those budgets, it really restricts the perspectives you’ll get to the most monied big tech giants. Ugh, no thanks
Also I know the answer is “money,” but this conference is being billed as a big opulent party. Why not have a regular ass conference and do the bare minimum to compensate the people providing the content?
Real big eye roll at the fact that Women Who Code is not only neglecting to comp tickets for their speakers at their upcoming conference, but requiring them to pay for VIP passes. Women’s tech conferences, why must y’all be like this??
Sunflower pants?? Omg
Yes! A friend with teenage kids had this insight: when phone use is prohibited for all (like in stricter school & camp environments), they experience relief, even if they fight it initially. But voluntary/partial bans are much trickier because kids feel intense FOMO at missing out on group chats
This amendment would not cut any police positions, there would be no layoffs. Again, they have 91 fully funded vacant positions they failed to fill. They are the wealthiest bureau in the entire city.
It parallels how our federal government spends money on war and not housing, food, or roads.
Elena Kagan once refused to accept a gift basket of bagels and lox from Russ & Daughters.
This paramecium pocket may be the best thing I’ve ever made. Other than, like, my child
The CFP for Cascadia closes in just a few days! Great conference, highly recommend 🤸🏼♀️
For May Day, I wrote about “Made in USA” and a goofy little shirt I made with 25 labels attached to the outside of the neckline
That good good feeling when long ago you saved a piece of cardboard that’s just the right size for the protest sign you need to make
