Striking from Marquette poll:
Majorities of non-college grads and even 50% of rural Americans disapprove of ICE handling of enforcement. Majorities of both oppose deporting longtime residents with jobs/no criminal records.
That's data given to me. 2/

Pat McAfee blown away to learn San Francisco is not what conservative media makes it out to be
Pat McAfee spent a lot of time this week praising San Francisco and saying it's not the city many have made it out to be.

(seen a bunch of people sharing this/talking in general about how "normal" Mamdani is but imo this doesn't show a normal person, but an *exceptionally* skilled communicator - a normal person wouldn't react like that to having a speech interrupted by a child! give him his due!)
Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”
Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

Feel like if Trump saw the video of an AEW audience chanting "fuck ICE" he would fire Stephen Miller on the spot. That's not the kind of heat he wants.

“Please hold me in contempt so that I can have 24 hours in more pleasant company (federal prison) than my current bosses” is a hell of a statement.
This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

The top 5 Halftime Shows, mind you:
1. Prince
2. Michael Jackson
3. U2 after 9/11
4. Dre, Snoop, Kendrick, Eminem, etc. in LA
5. Coldplay, Beyoncé, and Bruno at Super Bowl 50

Doing my annual rewatch of halftime shows leading up to the Super Bowl, and through all the years of stupid complaining people have had about it, one thing remains certain —
Prince absolutely killed that shit. One of the defining live musical performances of the century, with ease

Apparently there was a city meeting in Hutchins, Texas, tonight. Hutchins is the location of DHS's newly announced 10,000-person concentration camp. What I've been told is that city officials were unanimously and adamantly opposed to it.
Unfortunately, I'm seeing this nowhere online.

They're literally running out of lawyers in a state where the district judges are practically at war with the administration.
BREAKING: 8 more U.S. Attorneys in MN resign from Trump’s DOJ in protest as backlash grows.
This isn’t normal; isn’t routine reshuffling. It’s a rebellion.
Last month, 6 veteran prosecutors quit in protest. Normal staffing for the MN DOJ’s office is around 50 attorneys. They’re down to just 9.

I found out today that one of the largest firms in the state has >10% of their attorneys working basically full time on habeas petitions.
If you aren't in the legal industry, that's basically unprecedented. And our bar is still in the early stages of mobilizing. The full efforts have yet to begin.

So believe me I understand this is deeply frustrating and unfair, but a march that does everything right and still gets tear gassed is a successful march that is winning.
A lot of the strategy of protest is luring the authorities into engaging in obviously, transparently unjust uses of force.

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

There were in the ballpark of 800 to 900 people at the protest in San Juan Capistrano today, which is a town of about 35,500 people - really amazing turnout.
and demographically it was *everyone* - kids, teens, adults, old people.
