Ah yes, the Kavanaugh stop. A brief law enforcement encounter that lasts a mere *checks notes* 25 days.
The Department of Homeland Security released a Maryland woman who was held for 25 days despite evidence that her lawyers say proves she was born in the United States and is a citizen.
After 25 days, ICE releases Maryland woman who says she is a U.S. citizen
Dulce Consuelo Diaz Morales was detained in December despite her legal team’s claims that she was born in the United States.

It’s amazing what a megaphone can do when you decide to use it. Trump learned 10+ years ago that you can mainstream almost any idea if you say ad nauseam with confidence.
ICE is a a roving squad of violent thugs. Say it. Then say it again. And again. Don’t be afraid. People will listen and act.

There's honestly been some pretty good news coverage tonight on TV regarding today's events. It's not a coincidence.
Like half a dozen prominent Democrats finally came out this afternoon and said ICE is terrorist trash led by a secretary who should be impeached and it flipped the whole narrative.

Particulate pollution in the air down a whopping 22% in NYC’s congestion pricing zone.
Not only are the streets less congested, but so are our lungs.

Think much of the over-parenting we despise stems from the early on fear of the driver.
If parents weren't terrified of our streets kids would have so much more freedom and independence which might get them comfortable with their children's ability to navigate the world without them.

One of the biggest drivers of high housing costs is that a small, highly motivated group of incumbent homeowners block new housing in their neighborhoods and almost no one is organized to push back.
Young people bear the brunt of that imbalance.

In bike-friendly Copenhagen, the Social Democrats' candidate for mayor tried to win over drivers by calling for more car parking.
In elections this week, she was trounced. For the first time in 122 years, a Social Democrat won't lead Copenhagen. The new mayor is a socialist from the Green Left.
