Our constituents are being surveilled, threatened, tear gassed, shot, subjected to warrantless arrest, kidnapped, and disappeared. 35 people have died in detention in ICE’s deadliest year yet.

ICE’s terror and violence need to end.

Top 4 officials in the Criminal section of the Civil Rights Division resign over Harmeet Dhillon's inexcusable (and inexplicable, under the law and the mission of the Division) decision not even to investigate the Minnesota fatal shooting. This is the very purpose and heartbeat of the section

Aw, geez, the Minneapolis Fraternal Order of Police is really upset that people are "vilifying" their brothers in federal law enforcement who are murdering, kidnapping, threatening and generally terrorizing the people of Minneapolis.

Don't be mean to murderers and kidnappers, people. That's rude.
The MPD union, at least, has made it clear which side they are on.

This is the cost of DECADES of (everyone, everywhere) refusing to deal with the rising right-wing and white-nationalist involvement in policing.

I think why this is such a topic now isn't so much because of the tawdry sex stuff, or the complete absence of journalistic ethics, but because she covered for a man (RFK jr) who is now killing people because of his insane healthcare beliefs.

I love the last part where he threatens to sue to stop a private lawyer from disclosing to the public a letter from DOJ.
Ed Martin’s latest stunt: pressuring someone he is criminally investigating to resign from public office “as an act of good faith.”

I have this thought over and over again. Even after everything, I just can't believe it.
We are seven months in, and the speed with which vital civic institutions are capitulating to authoritarian demands we once would have regarded as inconceivable in an established liberal democracy is jawdropping. I hadn't thought I was polyannaish about America, but it's really stunning.

BREAKING: Gavin Newsom has just torched Trump, Stephen Miller and the whole administration. 🔥

It comes after armored vehicles and armed federal agents stormed MacArthur Park in LA today.

EVERY. WORD. OF. THIS.

People will die because of what she did today. Many many. It is a stain that will not wash off. And every single Republican in the Senate has it on their hands too. They chose billionaires over their constituents, excess over vital necessities. They're monsters.

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

Once again I am calling for Democrats to introduce legislation requiring standardized uniforms, visible badge numbers with names, as well as a requirement for ICE and DHS agents to present proof that there is enough danger present to be masked to a judge when they get their warrant.
It really needs to be pointed out. As someone who has been to actions up to and inculdiong the uprising here in 2020 I have never seen every officer wearing fake name badges all with the name “the others” instead of their actual names.

If I were a member of Congress I would have already introduced a bill prohibiting ICE agents from wearing face masks and requiring them to wear official identification at all times

Sure whatever. 25% tariff on eating ice cream on a hot day next. 50% tariff on petting a dog. 35% tariff on the sound of children laughing. 10% tariff on the smell of flowers. 15% tariff on the cold side of the pillow. And another 25% on China, why not.
JUST IN: Trump orders 100% tariff on all movies produced outside the U.S.

The New York Times declares dignity, professionalism, and courage in law firms “nearly impossible.”

I suggest this framing exposes more about legacy media’s own problems than it does about the legal profession.

“Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
The battle outside ragin'
Will soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'”
