Ty to everyone who has told us about the ICE recruitment ads which have been running on the only general-interest US legal podcast co-hosted by a practicing deportation defense attorney.

We trust that these ads are wasted on our listeners in a way that they would be wasted on few other audiences

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

Designating Antifa as FTO Could Threaten Civil Liberties Trump's plan to designate Antifa as an FTO has implications extending beyond anti-fascist activists to the architecture of US civil society.

SNAP should be the most popular thing the government does

if you’re socialist, it’s the government meeting basic human needs

if you’re 20th century liberal, it’s a form of welfare that helps the poor without directly transferring wealth

if you’re conservative, it subsidizes farmers and grocers

Hundreds protest outside ICE building in Durango after 2 children, father detained Federal agents used pepper spray, rubber bullets on peaceful protesters. The family was detained on their way to school, according to local nonprofit

Things are pretty grim here in Chicago, but we at least have the advantage of getting a lot of national coverage. There are other places that aren't... like this case in Durango, CO.

A 13yo shouldn’t have to make a decision like this. A 13yo shouldn’t be abducted by the federal government and sent across state lines β€” left to figure out major life choices in a detention center. He should be home, in Massachusetts, with his mom. open.substack.com/pub/ruthzaka...

They drove armored cars with machine guns blaring through camps of women and children whose husbands dared to say that Colorado law also applied to them, as human beings - and that a ton was 2000lbs.
