Kavanaugh stops.
A ProPublica investigation found that > 170 U.S. citizens have been arrested or detained by immigration agents, including cases where agents ignored or dismissed REAL ID–compliant driver’s licenses and other proof of legal status during enforcement operations.

This is a necessary read.
I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.
I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

Wait, so you can gamble on an outcome that you can also influence? Seems like a really bad idea.
On Polymarket you can now bet on how many people in a different market on Polymarket think Jesus Christ will return in this calendar year.
29% of bets say that more than 5% of bets in the Jesus Christ return market will be a "yes" 9 days from now.
Anyway everyone involved in this needs jailtime.

Reupping this because there's 80 people in a normal size classroom that's insanely hot.
Minnesota: Can we please agree that caucuses are ridiculous and should just be an online form instead?

Weiss, in other words: "If the shoe fits."
In today's town hall, a staff member asked Bari Weiss about accusations CBS has become a right-wing outlet.
"I would respond simply by saying, look at our coverage. Look at the coverage that CBS News has put out since I started. Look at the coverage of The Free Press," she said:

Absolutely heartbreaking.
I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

Holy shit, I made a Downfall meme back when we were renegotiating our CBA that went pretty viral, but this is brilliant. It’s fantastic all the way through, and then the last three seconds sent me into orbit.

Just returned from the place where Alex Pretti was executed by the federal government for exercising his rights under the law. Like Renee Good, he should be alive. I hope this state sponsored terror ends soon, and that peace will return to Minneapolis. In the meantime, grateful for all my neighbors.

So I watched the shooting video frame by frame and it looks like:
1) They were beating a struggling man with batons
2) His jacket opened revealing a gun in his waistband or lower back
3) The agent in gray grabbed the gun and was walking away
4) THEN the other agents shot the man in the back

To anyone who still believes Administration statements related to this shooting and the occupation in general: I have a bridge to sell you.

I believe that's called an execution.
I am waiting for full details but so far all indications are that this person - living in a state where you can carry a firearm with a permit - was disarmed before DHS shot five times.
