Federal vehicle in Chicago ramming case may have had repairs before defense looked at it. Can the court do anything about it? | CNN Thursday was supposed to be a day of no surprises for Marimar Martinez, the woman who was shot after allegedly ramming the car of a Border Patrol agent she had been following. She was headed to a rout...

N. B.: in both incidents the government is claiming that the victims rammed ICE vehicles, which makes very little sense to begin with but already appears to be a pretty obvious lie in the case of Marimar Martinez

Indian capital chokes after Diwali firework frenzy

Toxic air in India's capital hit more than 56 times the UN health limit after fireworks for the Hindu festival of Diwali worsened air pollution.

sad for New York to reject him when his catholic, and in some ways jewish, mother survived 9/11 then died of cancer soon after moving to the city in 2003, a tragedy he was forced to relive in 2016 when his mother died of cancer. his only crime? a few fake charities and also every other type of fraud

People act like all the men are gone. The men are attending protests. The men are putting together scooters for their kids. The men are getting a set of turntables for the first time. The men are buying Nikes. The men are getting super into noir. They're not Nazis and they're fine. Keep your freaks.

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers:

“We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”

ICE’s spending on weaponry has soared more than 700 percent this year The $71.5 million spent so far has paid for guns and armor, chemical munitions, “guided missile warheads," and "explosive components.”

This is nuts. And we would like to know more about these "guided missile warheads."

Habba Told to Release More Video in Assault Case Against Congresswoman

Body-worn camera vids already released show a federal agent explaining he’s arresting Newark’s mayor (who left the property voluntarily) on the say-so of the US deputy attorney general (see the video in the story).

>> A judge today ordered DOJ to release even more vids in Rep. McIver assault case:

Authorities in Atlanta say they stopped a mass shooting at one of the world's busiest airports A man's family tipped off police, who found an AR-15 assault rifle with 27 rounds of ammunition in his truck parked outside ​​Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Tragedy was averted in Atlanta because a gunman opted to live stream his plans to shoot up the airport, and his family reported him to authorities.

They found an assault rifle and 27 rounds of ammo in his truck.

It’s time to deal with the guns.

No one needs an assault rifle or 27 rounds of ammo.

The poster for “The Alabama Solution,” a new HBO Originals documentary about injustices inside the Alabama prison system. Much of it was filmed on contraband cell phones by inmates. The poster says “The truth from the inside out” and it shows a Black man filming on an iPhone from inside cell bars.

This new doc on HBO is about the appalling conditions, state violence, and corruption inside Alabama prisons. A lot of it was filmed by men inside on contraband cell phones. Highly highly recommend

Excerpt from article: The law runs against one of the hallmarks of modern public health: that a person’s full participation in society depends on their willingness to follow certain rules. (Want to send your child to public school? They’ll need a measles vaccine. Want to work in a retirement community during flu season? You might have to wear a mask.) The new Idaho law flips that on its head. It not only removes the obligation to follow such rules, it makes the rules themselves illegal. The new law sets Idaho apart from even conservative-leaning South Carolina, where two schools recently quarantined more than 150 unvaccinated children after measles arrived. A person can spread measles for four days before symptoms appear. During the South Carolina schools’ quarantine, five students began to show symptoms, but the quarantine kept them from spreading it, the health department said this month. That precaution would now be illegal in Idaho.

A new Idaho law makes it illegal for state and local governments, private businesses, employers, schools and daycares to require anyone to take a vaccine or receive any other “medical intervention.”
