Chaya Raichik, who runs the social media account Libs of TikTok, has spent the days following Alex Pretti’s killing doxxing ordinary working people — teachers, nurses, school board members — for speaking out against federal immigration officials or expressing sympathy for Pretti.

Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?

HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

New in PN: 'Abolish ICE' is imperative

"There's no amount of training that can instill basic humanity in thugs who willingly mistreat women, children, and old men. ICE agents reportedly dined at a Mexican restaurant in MN before arresting employees. How will 'training' fix that level of depravity?"
'Abolish ICE' is imperative
It's also better politics than you might think.

When this crash happened, Trump and Vance et al immediately came out to blame the crash on affirmative action.

Not so different from calling Alex Pretti an assassin and Renee Good a domestic terrorist.

This is the way.
"Fuck moving forward. Screw coming together. We are going to hire a team of prosecutors so large it needs its own building, fund them so well they have their own helicopters, and instruct them to go after everyone who broke the law from the White House to individual ICE agents."

Way to go, Philadelphia! The city has introduced new legislation putting real limits on ICE activity. Federal agents will no longer be allowed to operate anonymously no masks, visible identification required, and arrests must be backed by warrants signed by a federal judge.

In men, cancer from HPV shows up as throat cancer; in women, it's cervical cancer, which is what makes the social conservatives crazy. HPV is a sexually transmitted disease that 4 of 5 sexually active ppl have. So the right wingers want to say "just don't have sex" instead of preventing disease.

"Biological Sex" started proliferating with Alliance Defending Freedom & ACPeds's trans bathroom ban model bill in 2015. It existed in some circles outside of legislation before then, but in bills it's only the transphobes using it - or it was until recently

Jeff Bezos should be a hero and donate the Washington Post to a charity. Bezos would get a big charitable deduction; the rest of us would get a newspaper dedicated to the public interest. This post from Steven Waldman is from a year ago but it's still a great idea. www.cjr.org/opinion/wald...
