Basically every time someone in jail dies, the initial report is "medical episode" even when the person has been literally beaten to death.

I'm in Minneapolis right now staying with friends. I'm working on an audio documentary project about the end of civil rights in the US. It felt important to come and witness it on the ground here. If anyone wants to connect and bear witness to grief and resistance, I'd love to meet up and talk.

The pardons, several of which forgave frauds by affluent perpetrators, strike a discordant note with Trump's claim that he was suspending federal funding for programs intended to serve poor people in Minnesota in order to root out fraud.

🚨NEWS: Trump just quietly deployed his regulators to try to help GOP donors block states from reducing credit card interest rates, according to documents reviewed by @levernews.com.
Trump's intervention comes at the same moment he is telling voters he supports capping credit card interest rates.

Democrats could act like a real opposition party, refusing to validate Trump malfeasance with votes, and setting up a shadow cabinet that regularly communicates how Democrats would be different. But nah.
It’s not only a majority of Democratic voters that hate this approach. US allies see it too.

I’ve seen a lot going around about these cells reserved for US citizens, and it’s worth reminding people that ICE officers (and immigration officers in general) do in fact have legal authority to arrest US citizens for any felonies or “offenses against the United States” witnessed by an officer.
Missed this a few days ago:
Two U.S. citizens grabbed by ICE say there were cells reserved for Americans.
Also, they weren’t given medical attention or allowed to go to the bathroom.

It’s cold and I’ve been on my belly for hours with my Nikon and wide-angle lens hoping to catch an emperor fly like missile from the sea.
Although I can barely feel my fingers, I couldn’t be happier. My heart is singing and I can’t help but smile.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
