I know it’s incredibly dorky and cringe, but I’ll be thinking a ton about Sam’s speech over the next four years. Never forget that there is good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for
Good to see that Foley & Lardner, who rescinded their job offer to Jinan Chehade over her pro-Palestine social media posts, lost at summary judgment and have to either settle or go to trial

Well well well, turns out I’m not the only one who thinks this!
It’s wild to me that even a right-wing rag like the Tribune is plastering its front page with articles about the brutality and excesses of ICE

Gonna be kinda funny to watch Bailey lose to Pritzker by even more than the 12.5 pts he lost by 4 years ago

the demands schumer laid out, in light of existing rules and current ICE practices, are not a serious effort at modifying ICE’s behavior in any meaningful sense. they’re an attempt to mollify the base with meaningless bullshit without actually changing anything so they can move on to affordability

For our next show, we’re thinking Mad Men, which I’ve only seen the first 2.5 seasons of. I’ve heard that one has a good ending at least
We finally got to the end of The Sopranos, and while I understand why fans were mad about the ending at the time it aired, I didn’t think it was that bad

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.
The intense fallout from the killing of Alex Pretti has forced President Trump to publicly change course in Minneapolis.
Listen to our White House reporters discuss the changes on today's episode of "The Daily."

It’s darkly funny watching “reformed” right-wing lawyers (KW) and legal academics (AMK) on here rail against Ilan Wurman as if they aren’t a tiny bit responsible for creating the environment that has enabled Wurman’s ideas to gain prominence. Can’t put that toothpaste back into the tube!

This is your regular reminder that the data broker industry must be destroyed.
2. ICE is buying your private location data from sleazy data brokers through a legal loophole. I've had a bill to stop this since 2021. I'm renewing my push to get it passed into black letter law as soon as possible.
