No offense to these hard-working journalists—but I don’t need to explore your database, they’re just racketeering out in the open now
This is an UNBELIEVABLY HUGE #dataprivacy story (one that likely affects every single journalist & activist & confidentiality-head #onhere)
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive
Cops understand that the process *is* punishment. So beating the rap is nice, but it fucks you up, though theoretically you’re not being punished unless and until you’re convicted.
As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.
"People have to give birth in their homes in secret, because if they were to go to a hospital to have their baby, masked agents of the state would abduct them....This is lived reality right now. This is the country you live in."
JVL and Tim Miller on what they saw in Minneapolis.
I fully expected this cockroach to die with his career intact—& I’m sure he did, too. Glimmers, glimmers.

DHS agents used facial recognition technology and license plate readers to monitor observers in Maine who were keeping tabs on federal immigration agents. The federal law enforcement officers would then threaten protesters. trib.al/tmO8ayI
We're all sending the same $100 among each other as the rich get unimaginably richer by the hour.
Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.
The level of shock about the hockey boys’ behavior tells me that many of you do not know any hockey boys.
I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line
"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."
Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."
@npr.org: Where Should Dems Go Next? We Asked a Morally Bankrupt, Universally Hated, Abject Failure of a former Mayor to Weigh In.

Sauer's awful voice is an underrated contributor to the unpleasantness of listening to any "Trump v." oral argument.
Armed maniac shooting at random: This rocks!!! Can’t wait to kidnap whoever survives my rampage!!!
Everyone: SOMEONE STOP HIM
Dems: Hey pal. Keep your gun, but kidnap NICELY. Try asking first, ok? We put a camera in your lair to make sure you’re nice to your hostages. We’ll be sad if you’re not :(
People who were right about the need to divest from policing and criminalization are not platformed in the MSM. The ones platformed are former prosecutors, cops, and pundits who know nothing. Those people keep telling you about "training" and "new tech" "solutions." It's pathetic.
So disheartening to see Justice Jackson is alone in dissent in Howell v. Circuit Court of Indiana. There is still so, so much callous disregard for imprisoned litigants in our legal system.
David Brooks: This is a war on blue states
Bill Kristol: Abolish ICE
Springsteen: ICE is the Gestapo
Dems in Congress: Let’s talk body cams and QR codes
I don’t know this elder. But he’s apparently an immigrant, so I can imagine the extraordinary story he can tell, of an arduous journey over seas and continents to a strange land to find peace. And now it ends in a nightmare because some ruthless pricks decided it was politically expedient.
Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"
