It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.
Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

Today, we're announcing our first hosted infrastructure product: pyx, a Python-native package registry.
We think of pyx as an optimized backend for uv: it’s a package registry, but it also solves problems that go beyond the scope of a traditional "package registry".

My number one tip for learning how to design better data analysis and modeling software? Spend a decade writing bad code, and then later having to refactor that code. I've found a lot of shortcuts to learn other data science skills but I've yet to find a way to truly short-circuit this one

There's the obvious "actually the space program had a ton of foreign-born contributors" and also the "some of those contributors were actual Nazis" responses here, but I just want to add that if you're at all interested in the space race I highly recommend the miniseries "From The Earth To The Moon"

The position of the democratic party should be "you can return him now, or we will come get him when we are back in power, and drop you off at the Hague on the flight home."
Nayib Bukele is an enemy to the liberties of Americans and has behaved with contempt toward our laws and our courts. For as long as he lives, patriotic Americans should remember that about him -- and about his patron in the White House.

It’s been lost in the tariff news but the fact that the U.S. government can accuse you of a crime and send you to an El Salvadoran prison without trial, is legitimately scarier than the most hyperbolic claims of fascism made by the left during the election.

NEW: The Supreme Court directs the Trump administration to "facilitate" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from a prison in El Salvador, where he was sent due to an "administrative error." It also somewhat narrows the district court's order.

stop calling things deportation just because they call it deportation.
-You cannot legally deport people without due process.
-You cannot legally deport citizens.
-They are defining down deportation to break the law.

I called my senator who had not committed to a vote on Wednesday. I had to wait on hold for 20 minutes because so many people were calling. The person I spoke to said they were getting a lot of calls about it, and the next day the senator came out as a "no". It does work!
KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.
☎️: (202) 224-3121
Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.
The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.
Call retiring Senators too!
