Its not even new data, they just threw together a hodge podge of outdated US Census and BLS data mixed with internal data stats they don't explain how or what theyre collected from, wrapped up in DoorDash PR

β€œMy dad has lived in Des Plaines, IL for over 30 years. He’s worked hard every single day to support our family and help others. We were just doing landscaping work in downtown Des Plaines when ICE came out of nowhere. They detained my dad and another worker I was held too but eventually let go”

Yup. I said this earlier today, but it was only a guess. Thanks for confirming it. It is no coincidence that of the 8 who came forward to do this, none of them are running in 2026. But they ran cover for some who are.

Your windshields should be absolutely covered in a sticky mess of bug splats/insect carcasses every time you drive across open country forcing you to stop periodically at gas stations to use their wet squeegees to try and clean up your view of the road at night

@aaron.bsky.team should be able to send Sarah an email and point to something in one of the four documents I just shared which explains to her why she has been suspended without notice.

It’s wildly disingenuous for @aaron.bsky.team to reply to queries about Sarah Kendzior’s suspension about how they don’t comment publicly on individual users when he knows that we all know that they haven’t even told her privately what the basis for the suspension is

To fully understand what happened -- in this case, people were arrested, paid their bail or had their case resolved, and then were detained because of a purported ICE detainer (the class members didn't get copies of the detainer). This violates due process bc they were otherwise "free". 1/2

Exclusive | Fannie Mae Watchdogs Probed How Pulte Obtained Mortgage Records of Key Democrats FHFA’s acting inspector general handed probe report to U.S. attorney office that had indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James

Seems clear that Pulte 1) broke the law while going on fishing expeditions for baseless mortgage fraud claims 2) immediately removed everyone who tried to investigate that wrong-doing.

He brought up the example of a child who comes to the word "horse" and says "pony"
instead. His argument is that a child will still understand the meaning of the story because horse and pony are the same concept.
I pressed him on this. First of all, a pony isn't the same thing as a horse. Second, don't you want to make sure that when a child is
learning to read, he understands that /p//o//n//y/ says "pony"? And different letters say "horse"?
He dismissed my question.
"The purpose is not to learn words," he said.
"The purpose is to make sense."

In February, five months before she became known as "QAnon Karen," there was no one more terrified of the coming pandemic than Melissa Rein Lively.

"I bought the N-95 masks. I bought the hazmat suit," she said. "In my mind, a zombie movie was imminent."

At the time, Rein Lively said her career was at its peak. Her self-owned marketing company had just helped launch the high-end restaurant Nobu in Scottsdale, Arizona. Hyatt Hotels had signed on for marketing help.

By July 5, she had gone into a Target store and trashed the mask section, streaming her rage in a viral post that drew over 10 million views. Before the police closed in on her garage, she livestreamed her own mental breakdown on her company's Instagram account, telling police to "call Donald Trump and ask him" why she shouldn't be arrested for her actions.

She was, she told the police, the "QAnon spokesperson."

Rein Lively's experience is one that researchers recognize.

This is the FIFTH ICE flight out of Chicago in less than week, per tracking by @jjindc.bsky.social.. (2 GlobalX, 3 Avelo)

Never seen that many stops to one city in a week. My guess, they’ve extracted all the overcrowding-induced β€œvoluntary” deports they’re gonna get, so now they’re moving out.

Company leaders explained the β€œpartnership” with ICE as β€œtoo valuable not to pursue”.

Earlier this morning, we saw a delivery to the ICE facility. There were four or five pallets like this offloaded by forklift. It appeared that they took the boxes inside.

We also saw several vans coming and going this morning, with three other buses parked by the facility

We witnessed about a dozen detainees put on to the plane. There may have been more. As they started to load the plane, they blocked our initial view with firetrucks, so we had to relocate and may have missed some people.
