Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.
In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

@asharangappa.bsky.social Gandhi is a great movie. It is particularly relevant given the turbulent times we are living in.
We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

Ordering state police to have a confrontation with federal agents or the military — while it might “feel” satisfying to some — is a recipe for disaster, one in which someone will get hurt, and provide the exact pretext they are looking for to…do something worse. Pritzker is right here, sorry
If you still know anyone who imagines that Pritzker or Johnson will order police under their command to arrest federal agents, you can send them this (1hr12min42sec timestamp). They are explicit that they will not and they view courts as only venue for enforcement.

@asharangappa.bsky.social The confirmation of Emil Bove for the Third Circuit is a disgrace. It is also an example of how Trump has acted to dismantle the rule of law. If Democrats had confirmed Adeel Mangi when President Biden nominated him for the Third Circuit, there wouldn’t have been a vacancy.
Bove is going to be the new Clarence Thomas, but worse (until he gets elevated): A petulant, vindictive asshole who is going to use the bench to make up for his moral emptiness and deep sense of inadequacy

This is why they didn’t want him back: He is a witness.
