Hanover County supervisors oppose proposed ICE facility
The locality’s ability to deter the purchase is extremely limited, though.

“Public Bathroom?”
They are calling the Dilley detention center what it actually is. It is officially the Federal Concentration Facility.

This isn’t AI. I looked it up, and you can, too.

Between seizing ballots in Georgia, trying to leverage Minnesota to turn over its sensitive voter data, and political prosecutions, the DOJ is laying the groundwork to subvert the 2026 elections. I created Democracy Docket for times like this. Help it grow by supporting it now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Freedom of the press is a basic American principal. Whether you like Lemon or Fort, journalists have to right to report on events without fear of being arrested by ICE or anyone else.

Stop with the bullying!
"We’ve recently seen that even in the Trump era, public pressure still can work. It’s time to do it again. News outlets across the political spectrum need to loudly defend Lemon’s and Fort’s rights. Journalists are not making themselves the story, Trump is,” said the Freedom of the Press Foundation.

He has Putin’s playbook.
I doubt it’s a coincidence that Tulsi Gabbard was at the Georgia election office raid and Maduro is in custody. Her presence signals they could fabricate a foreign election interference claim. But not against Russia, of course.

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

One thing I found deeply moving about resistance in the Twin Cities was the universalism of loving your neighbor, the philosophy driving the opposition to the ICE/BP invasion. I couldn't help but notice the contrast with the blood and soil-ism of Miller and Vance. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

To put it another way: Courageous jurists on the lower courts have held back Trump from inflicting even more damage on civil rights and liberties. This timeline sucks, but the one in which the judiciary doesn't even try to push back is FAR worse. We insult these judges when we dismiss their impact.
I’m done with this shit. This isn’t a game. And if you don’t realize that the work of Judges Xinis and Boasberg and Ellis has been an essential part of forcing this administration to account for its actions, you’re not a serious person.

The Trump administration recognized that Tulsi Gabbard was wildly unqualified/too much of a nutjob for her post running U.S. intelligence, so they've given her some busy work (the busy work is trying to unravel American democracy). www.wsj.com/politics/ele...

How’s that Tariff Ruling coming?
I continue to think the Supreme Court is *more likely than not* to (1) rule against Trump's attack on birthright citizenship and (2) uphold state laws that count late-arriving mail ballots.

But it will also likely gut the Voting Rights Act in Callais. So still not a great outcome for democracy!

As long as THEY get away with it, THEY will continue. The lawlessness and corruption is blatant - in our faces, yet THEY are not stopped or held accountable.
