How ICE Hides Detainees From Their Lawyers ‘It seems like cruelty is the point,’ one attorney said.

ICE abducts people and then immediately moves them around to prevent access to lawyers and habeas corpus petitions. @emmarjanssen.bsky.social has the story on this consistent game being played to frustrate due process.

Ms. Martinez’ lawyer says body cam footage shows the agent turned into HER car and yelled “do something bitch” before firing shots.

Taking control of cities is about taking control of the elections.

Truth 💣 from @govpritzker.illinois.gov

They have told themselves this so often I think they believe it. The census was weaponized, but by Trump’s administration. The New Yorker at the time did a long analysis of all the ways Trump’s Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross skewed the questions and administration of the 2020 census to favor Reps.

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Why universities must flatly reject Trump’s ultimatum Universities need to form a large and powerful bloc to resist attempts to illegitimately remake higher education.

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

The harsh reality is that he did run on going after his enemies. He also ran on inflationary tariffs and pardoning January 6 insurrectionists. He ran on killing green energy.

He didn’t even pretend he was gonna unite the country as he called Democrats evil and scum.

And he won the popular vote.

COBB: There's a good chance because of the wholly unconstitutional, authoritarian way this was done that the case may get tossed well before trial

BRENNAN: That's quite a description. You used to work for President Trump

COBB: I don't have reasons to say anything other than balls and strikes

Waukegan mayor intervenes after Border Patrol arrest of woman turns physical outside Waukegan City Hall The Waukegan mayor intervened after U.S. Border Patrol agents forcefully arrested a woman, who is reportedly an American citizen, outside of the Waukegan City Hall Monday afternoon.

This just happened:

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

Everything is too expensive and you can be kidnapped off the streets or shot by a bigot at any moment; you can't go to the doctor or get a vaccine or read certain books or learn history or speak a language other than English but hey at least a computer will drink a lake to talk to your kid for you

So here is my question. Let’s assume Miller & Co. are successful, i.e., they deport, jail, kill, all of the “undesirables.” What do they think society is like then? Like, what happens when they realize there’s still crime, drugs, and no one around to do half the jobs, from manual to skilled labor?1/

Release the Epstein Files!!

Truth be told

ICE Gestapo attack the Police n they do nothing. WTH? #iceout #chicago

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

‼️ Absolutely Reckless 💯 🐥

Let’s talk about the people in Mike Johnson's district who'll have to pay $16,000 more a year for health care if he gets his way.

Just so the richest people on earth can get tax breaks.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

My 10 cents is that other blue states (and maybe even some red states) need to start supporting Illinois, California, and Oregon in their legal arguments BEFORE the spotlight turns to them.
