My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

I mean . . .

Pointed at a loaded weapon at something/someone you don’t intend to shoot.

Anyone who’s had even the most basic weapons training knows you don’t do this. Like one day of training.

ICE/Border Patrol held a weapon on a guy who was demanding they show him their face in Rogers Park today

Outside of the Broadview ICE facility, a state trooper tells the delegation attempting to have communion with detainees that ICE has denied their request.

Look, maybe not *all* ICE and CBP agents are bloodthirsty psychopaths, but there are plenty of stories like this one and the rest of them sure as shit don't seem to mind, so ...

People are spontaneously posting up near any laborers or street vendors they spot. Just saw a rapid responder guarding a man working on a building exterior. Many things are terrible today but lord, this stuff matters.

Bullshit.

Also lying:
- your own eyes
- every bit of video evidence
- the fabric of reality itself

How I Expect the Supreme Court to Kill Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act in Callais (If It Does So): Not By Direct Overruling but By Pretending They Are Simply Reinterpreting the Meaning of Section 2 electionlawblog.org?p=152471

Thank you, @aselrod.bsky.social. As far as I can tell, zero internal evaluations are going on at the big news orgs on how to deal with this basic problem, yet any discerning reader can see that it's a major impediment to conveying what's really happening in the US to readers and viewers.

The deportation order derives from the crime of which he has now been exonerated.

No institutional design can overcome a lawbreaking president, a Congress defending lawbreaking and forfeiting its own power, a Supreme Court that pretends legal text doesn’t count to facilitate lawbreaking, and a citizenry that votes for all that.
Need at least one that wants rule of law. Maybe two.

A rare admission from the administration that policy choices have knock-off effects.

In this case: immigration crackdowns raise your grocery bill.

Latine brown immigrants can’t be seen in public, can’t be at a train station, can’t walk around without being targets rn. That’s just the truth rn.

Yes well those of us who would got fired first and no one said shit so

Every once in a while I remember Trump changed vice presidents because he sent a violent mob to take care of his previous one and that’s not a thing anyone even talks about.

There was a period in history during which full-plate armour was so impregnable, and ransoming back captured nobles so lucrative, that the knights could treat warfare as a game while their men-at-arms got slaughtered in the mud.

I think about that a lot when I look at modern politics.

Corporate media has completely ignored that since January, the number of 287g agreements between ICE & local police has gone up nearly 4X. We need to repeal these.

I'm a human rights lawyer. I wrote this piece on how to protect ourselves from ICE fascists.

Someone made a lot of money through insider trading. On the international betting site Polymarket, the eventual winner of the Nobel Peace Prize Maria Corina Machado went from rank outsider to 70% favourite in the early hours of Friday before the award was announced.

"Just grabbing people, checking IDs. They arrested like, what I seen, a bunch of people. They had vans and stuff like that.”
