DOJ is out of control. The crime of impeding federal agents requires physical force. Speaking out against the way ICE is being deployed is not a crime.

The Republican super majority has slowly been pulling funds for years from the university in Arkansas. We already had issues getting professors to want to teach in a red state and this will hurt us even more.

It does, but unfortunately it's paywalled, and they don't have a BlueSky share function.

To be clear: immunity does not protect ICE agents from criminal prosecution if they act unreasonably, as we have seen happen in literally thousands of videos of ICE threatening, assaulting, beating, and shooting innocent bystanders

As we prepare to invade Denmark, the government violence escalates at home. ICE is now affirmatively inciting illegal attacks against public officials.

Not even in the top 100 worst ethical lapses in Trump's presidency, but the Secretary of Labor apparently had her staffers create fraudulent records of fake work trips so she could take time off (and have an affair with a subordinate)

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis

The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway

They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

Infuriating. Heartbreaking.
Somali-American schoolchildren have come home in tears, saying that classmates had called them “garbage.” Strangers with no evident connection to the government have walked into cafes and Somali-run businesses and demanded to see people’s papers.
