1/ Riley Gaines is a leading face of the anti-trans movement, appearing at Trump’s signing of an executive order to ban trans girls from girls’ school sports.

But her teammate remembers a different Gaines, who expressly did not support Trump.

New from 404 Media: a contractor is paying random people $300 to physically track immigrants for ICE. Spoke to people briefed on plans. This isn't licensed PIs/bounty hunters. These are just former police/military; members of public

ICE Air’s Sloppy, Dangerous Deportation Flights - The American Prospect Poor planning, mechanical issues, serious safety lapses, and the shutdown are taking a toll on Avelo, America’s most famous deportation airline, internal documents show.

NEW: Avelo’s ICE flights have been a fiasco, internal documents show.

Serious safety lapses, poor planning, mechanical issues, an emergency landing — and they’re not even making as much money as they hoped they would.

Would also like to add to this magical moment the fact that right after he said this, the woman who pitched the idea for this film to Disney revealed herself to be randomly in the audience.

This was the single best thing I read this week. I'm not a metal head, but I respect and admire both as a genre and, as a quoted fan calls it, "a strange road to joy".

It was a great assignment and something I’m glad HCN did to give more introduction to Jock. I heard so many great things about his mom too. Their stories together would be a great book.

Soto's Diné clan comes from his mother. He was born for To'aheedlinii, meaning "water flowing together," which is also the title of a 2007 documentary about Soto's life. He was born 90 minutes away from his home in Chinle, Arizona, at the closest Indian Health Services Hospital in Gallup. Soto said his mother was a vital inspiration. "My mother was my strength. She was my strength, and my dad was such a macho Puerto Rican, you know," Soto shared. "They said it was OK to be gay. And I didn't tell them until I was 30. My mom laughed so hard on the phone. She said, 'We've known that ever since you were 18.' »»› More than 700 dancers are alumni of the New York City Ballet, but only several dozen men have achieved Soto's status as a principal dancer. Elite ballet training and performance skills like his are rare. Soto has deep roots in the Navajo Nation, but his ascent to the rarefied world of ballet left him feeling distant from the Indigenous community. Today, Indigenous communities are still just getting to know Soto - something that should prompt state lawmakers and education reformers to work with local ballet theater groups to expand arts programming in Native communities and schools.

My research on this Jock Soto profile quickly found we were both born at the same IHS hospital in Gallup, NM. A place birthing joy and so much sorrow. My grandma knew of sterilization issues and sat with my mom throughout labor to stop unexpected procedures. nativenewsonline.net/arts-enterta...

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants.

We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua.
