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."

Read storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

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.

How the Senate GOP’s New Tax on Renewables Could ‘Kill’ the Industry As bad as previous drafts of the reconciliation bill have been, this one is worse.

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.”

Me holding a protest sign that says “STOP DISAPPEARING PEOPLE.” My young child is crouched between my legs

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

Plentiful Data, No Regret: What the Utah Review on Youth Trans Care Found — Assigned A 1,000-page report by the College of Pharmacy at the University of Utah, which found care safe and effective, stands out from others: It’s both independent and an actual review of the evidence.

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 🤸🏼‍♀️

What's the deal with "Made in USA," anyway? Country of origin labels, labor, and a shirt that shows its work

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
