It was a powerful and emotional sendoff and it meant a lot to staff.

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

This horrific bit from Jessica Valenti's substack:
WV prosecutor Tom Truman said if women who miscarry want to avoid arrest, they should “call 911” to tell them that their pregnancy has ended: “Call your doctor. Call law enforcement, or 911, and just say, ‘I miscarried. I want you to know.’”

No Kings On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...

I don't frequently find myself in full agreement with Justice Gorsuch, but his dissent from SCOTUS' decision not to hear a case involving the destruction of a site that is sacred to Western Apaches seems to me not only legally correct, but beautifully written. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Margo Martin # i @MargoMartin47 Follow BREAKING! President Trump calls@_ItsSavannah_to inform her that he will be granting full pardons to her parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley! Trump Knows Best! SPACE

Trump is pardoning Todd and Julie Chrisley, the Georgia reality TV stars convicted of fraud.

Todd was sentenced to 12 years and Julie to 7 years.

Their daughter, Savannah, campaigned for Trump.

During a speech at the RNC in 2024, she said her parents were “persecuted” for their political beliefs.

Thou shalt not call yourself “the law and order party” when your leader is a convicted felon who constantly pardons criminals in exchange for millions of dollars in bribes.

The random programmatic ads that show up on our podcast included some nasty BS from Kristy Noem. I had some thoughts to share on the topic.

Tonight, every night, approximately 400,000 people in pretrial detention (i.e. in jail, awaiting trial, because they couldn't afford bail). As Fiona Apple notes in this mesmerizing video, 60,000 of them are women (66% of whom have minor child at home). These folks should be home with their families.

Judge Crawford, summing up his finding on due process: "If the Government detained Mr. Mahdawi as punishment for his speech, that purpose is not legitimate, regardless of any alleged First Amendment violation. Immigration detention cannot be motivated by a punitive purpose."

Meta SUED to put the author under a gag order. So we're here to help get her story out instead!

Fortune 500 company abruptly fires lawyer who helped immigrant family On March 4, Clay Jackson, an attorney in the Dallas area, was at a gas station near his home when the attendant asked if he would help a local immigrant family.

1. Clay Jackson, a Texas lawyer, provided basic legal advice to an immigrant family fearing deportation

Then, two officers visited him at his home, accusing him of "obstructing an ongoing immigration investigation"

Then, after speaking publicly, he was fired from his job at a Fortune 500 company

One hallmark of being an American is that you do not have to fear your government. If Trump’s first 100 days in office have changed anything, it’s that. He has subverted one of the major accomplishments of the Founding Fathers.

This is a fascinating case because here the person was deported in violation of a settlement agreement barring the deportation of certain people who entered the U.S. as children without having USCIS first adjudicate their asylum application. That’s exactly what happened here.

"I fought for it once, I'll fight for it again"

White House tweet with Trump holding a clearly manipulated photo purportedly of Abrego Garcia’s hand. MS 13 is written on his knuckles (in what I believe to be the ios default photo editor font).

Is the consensus among mainstream journalists that the White House slandering a man they delivered into slavery using a crudely manipulated photo in the president’s grasp in the Oval Office is just not a very newsworthy event?

‘And that is all anyone can do as we work to preserve the concept of human self-determination. In that heroic struggle, most of us will be lost to history, but we will, nonetheless, move the story forward, even if just a little bit.’

This should lead to criminal charges against Leland Dudek and the people at DOGE who did this. I’m deadly serious about it. They committed fraud by deliberately marking people dead who were alive.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

U.S.-born American citizen under ICE hold in Florida after driving from Georgia Juan Carlos Gomez-Lopez is being held even though a county judge found his birth certificate “authentic” and said there wasn’t reason to consider him an “illegal alien.”

How is it possible U.S. citizens are being held as illegal aliens in America even after they produce their birth certificate? This is intolerable. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

when he sends citizens to foreign concentration camps, it’s no longer a slide to authoritarianism—it’s full blown fascism! 😔 this is not an administration, it’s a criminal regime in a hostile takeover of 🇺🇸 democracy. #FightFascism #TraitorTrump #DefendLiberty 🔔

Last night I wrote about Abrego Garcia’s case. Today, SCOTUS confirmed it’s true. Even though their stay is just temporary, he remains in cruel & unusual conditions in a foreign prison with no recourse. It could happen to any of us. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

Everyone in the US, regardless of their status, needs to know their rights.

Wall Street’s Decision Makers Brace for More Chaos After Markets Plunge The financial titans who backed Trump are now dealing with the fallout from his tariffs. They spent the weekend surveying the damage of last week’s major sell-off.

“A top Goldman Sachs executive summed up the frustration with Mr. Trump succinctly: Someone has to stop him.”

The whole point of due process is TO SEE IF YOU’VE VIOLATED THE LAW

Car salesman at a local Hyundai dealership today, after I asked him about the tariffs:

"It's terrible. The price of every vehicle is going to go up five or six thousand dollars... And here's the thing, even after they go away, think about it, they're not going to come back down again."
