Carrie (in Texas) 💙♿

what's funny to me is that Rehmet has nothing to do since the lege isn't in session and it's entirely possible Wambsganss wins the seat back in november when more Republican voters will turn out. But what a fucking disaster for North Texas Republicans and Dan Patrick, who handpicked Wambsganss

Does anyone know what kind of gas they were using?

3345 15th Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55407, USA Description: This morning, federal agents staged at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot and began to throw chemical irritants at observers. They also kidnapped an observer. Our parks are meant for our children, youth, and neighbors. They should never be militarized zones meant to separate families.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

America’s contract to protect white woman has always been tenuous | Saida Grundy ICE’s killing of Renee Good has revealed how the state will only defend those who uphold a white racial order. A 1915 film points to the origins of this social pact

"White supremacy demands that even white women be vilified if their deaths challenge the narrative that the government’s brute force is always deployed in the interest of whiteness. The state-backed messaging that Good was the wrong kind of white woman, therefore, was a foregone conclusion."

Ilan Wurman & @ilan _wurman • 5h l actually appreciate your engagement. I think the statement is accurate as written as to all the sources cited except Story, but the full quotation makes clear his position and doesn't hide the ball. Still, given Story, I could have said "were or should be, " and it would have been sensible to say that, yes.

It has been two days since Professor Ilan Wurman acknowledged that there is an inaccurate statement in the brief that submitted to the Supreme Court in the birthright citizenship case. To my knowledge, he has no plans to amend the brief. This is a problem to which I will continue to draw attention.

Perhaps focusing on emergency disaster response In our state—and demanding adequate FEMA help as Mississippians die—is a wiser use of his time than … this:

This is a great episode for background, and also if you want to hear Dan Patrick beg like a whiny little toddler for people to go vote for the lady who couldn't even impress the 1988 Miss Oklahoma USA judges.

EXACTLY. No one is tracking if recent deportees are getting blood clots or embolisms caused by the restriction and dehydration on ICE flights. It could have already happened many times and we just don’t know about it.

Democrat Christian Menefee wins the special election for CD-18, narrowing the GOP's very slim majority, and returning representation to the district, after Governor Abbott held the seat open to give Republicans an unearned advantage in Congress.

Minnesota's effort to end the surge is rejected as journalists are arrested, but pushback continues A judge denied Minnesota's ambitious request — a day after Don Lemon and Georgia Fort were arrested. But, in Texas, a judge orders 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his dad released.

“On Saturday, as this longest of months comes to a close, a federal judge in Texas granted a writ of habeas corpus ordering the release of 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias.”

My view from in the crowd while @gregcasar.bsky.social spoke

Texas A&M following the Soviet university model: the university exists to develop the state morality in students and staff. Success to be determined by loyalty to the party, foreign students to be accepted based on ideological compatibility. The pretense of free thought didn’t last long.

Let's speak plainly.

In a legitimate criminal cases, political appointees don't have to first hollow out U.S. Attorney offices of objecting career prosecutors with integrity; federal judges don't kill the cases at the cradle, and the government doesn't fight tooth and nail to revive them.
