Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

Absolutely correct. So much of the discourse around restoring trust in the institutions is focused on decorum and civility theater. But why would anyone trust the institutions if, after the horror show that we are suffering through, they yet again fail to impose some measure of real accountability?

As I read this, I'm thinking about the man I interviewed who had to be hospitalized from the Covid he caught at the poultry processing plant and he got fired for it and he still has long Covid

these are not even the files lol

“Maybe this is the risk of being married,” suggested the defense attorney for a man who was acquitted on trial in 1979 for raping his wife (and who later was sentenced for another rape.) No paywall:

Look, I don't even read my own emails

New York Times social media guidelines prohibit expression suggesting partiality on things like ICE, execution of foreigners in fishing boats, or whether law is a thing.

However, tipping off notorious serial pedophiles about other reporters is absolutely fine.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win. Please do repeat this insight.

Movie folks, in a few days I'll be taking the Amtrak Pacific Starlight from LA to PDX. What should I load up on my tablet to watch for the ride (after Double Indemnity)?

Rep. Adelita Grijalva has officially signed the discharge petition to force a vote on the Massie-Khanna bill to release the Epstein files. That's 218, meaning House GOP leaders cannot block it from the floor. (That's 214 Dems + Massie, MTG, Mace, Boebert.)

Then they came for the Dreamers Immigrants brought here as children were told they wouldn’t be deported. Now, they’re being targeted anyway.

Catalina “Xóchitl” Santiago spent nearly two months in ICE detention—despite having protection under DACA—until a federal judge ruled that the government had no reason to keep her in custody and ordered her release.

DHS is still vowing to "explore every available option to remove" her. My latest:

We just saw millions of people who do not even like the Democratic party come out in droves to repudiate the current state of things in this country last week.

Today's a great day for those with GOP Members of Congress to ask them when they plan to either (a) demand Trump's resignation for being deeply involved in a pedophilia ring; or (b) explain why they don't believe that being deeply involved in a pedophilia ring requires a president's resignation.

Perfect, thank you!

Thank you!

Not really other than a tilt toward movies from the 1900s, especially the 70s

Sooo… anyone north enough with clear skies seeing any of those aurora action tonight? My app said that people near Reno, Klamath Falls and San Jose (lol) have spotted it. If you’re flying on the red eye from the west coast, I envy you!

Alderman Sigcho-Lopez was right to call out Pritzker today about the state police arresting protesters. Pritzker responded that the state police are protecting protesters, and that just isn't true. State cops have arrested and brutalized protesters to facilitate ICE operations. That's reality.

NEW via CNN: “The United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal”

This is a huge victory that should be broadcast nationwide in all the major outlets. Big big big deal. I have been following this. Make them pay

Let me run the Bond franchise and I’ll blow him up at the end of every movie. Maybe several times within each movie if it feels right. He’ll be back the next movie (or scene) and nobody will talk about it, but man are we gonna explode that guy a LOT.
