In March 2025, the FBI discusses internally Pam Bondi’s “clear and specific guidance" to redact images of "former U.S. Presidents, Secretary of State, and other celebrities."

I appreciate Stancil's willingness to put himself on the line, but you can't look at the long list of Ferguson protestors who "mysteriously" turned up dead and not get why the paranoia is justified and opsec matters

most poasting, especially here, is fundamentally extremely low stakes and not that important, but I think establishing a very strong norm that being this type of loser who acts like they’re in Red Army Faktion & lectures people on not signing up for protests or using media is worthy of scorn is good
where i live is generally pretty public, so whatever, but posting it is an exact example of ways people like will don't give a fuck about activist safety

Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:
DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools
"That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod:

Everyone who seriously, genuinely considers themselves left of center in any capacity should be actively asking themselves and their immediate colleagues and comrades: "what would a constitutional and political state of affairs look like where these events are made functionally impossible"?
The largest socialist organization in the US (which, notably, does have a council-level presence in the Twin Cities) really ought to return to the kinds of discussions it was earnestly having during Trump's 1st term: constitutional overhaul. How can we be the parliamentary agitators for new law?

Initial report is that two observers got into a shoving match with eight agents, one observer was wrestled to the ground, and then an ICE agent pulled out a sidearm and shot the man on the ground five times.

The President telling a prime time network news host effectively "I got you this job" is not something you see every day.
DOKOUPIL: When I travel the country, they tell me they don't feel it because grocery prices are up--
TRUMP: They're going to now. I've only been here for 11 months. I inherited a mess. If she got in, you wouldn't have this job right now.

If the figures we're getting out of Iran are in the right league, this weekend was, I think, one of the bloodiest state crackdowns of all time. People are talking 12,000-20,000 dead; for comparison Hungary in 1956 was about 2,500, Tiananmen - across country, in multiple cities - probably 1000+
