Been thinking quite a lot this week about one of the very first cases I tracked of ICE detaining a U.S. citizen

A year ago, ICE agents detained a 20 YO they said swerved his car at them

But local Utah police checked security footage. And it wasn’t true

Two Utah police agencies said ICE agents made false claims about a driver swerving toward them during a traffic stop last week.

@mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social's message to musicians, comedians, and other performers who are looking to come to Minneapolis:

"Do not let Donald Trump screw the city over that he wants to see fail. Come here and perform, and then speak out during that performance about what's going on."

"The French president said a couple days ago, 'America might not be our ally anymore.' You've heard the German Chancellor say something similar."

im pretty well versed on presidential authorities and i do not believe the president has a big “cap credit card rates” button on his desk

could be mistaken but that and the language of “call on” suggests to me he is begging companies to do something voluntarily

Hayes: The president was asked should they be sharing evidence—his response was no, because Minnesota's corrupt.

Ellison: I will point out no president that I've ever heard of received a $400 million plane from a foreign country trying to curry favor with him, crypto deals, golf courses.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

JD says “shots” went through the front when we all know only 1 did, and 2 were from the side after she passed.

Watch them work. 🐍

The Department of Justice's effort to gain access to you sensitive personal information continues. DOJ wants this data to be able to suppress the vote and subvert election results next Fall. They are suing 24 states to gain access. My law firm and I are fighting them in court in every one of them.

Time is running out for the @wnba.com to pay the players what they owe them. Their contract expires TONIGHT.

Without the players, there is no WNBA — and fair pay is LONG overdue. America’s unions stand in solidarity with the WNBPA players in this fight ✊

Fascism is here.

Whether or not we stand up to and eradicate it is the only question left.

NO ONE is coming to save us...not Congress, not the courts, not law enforcement, not the military.

IF, and it's a substantial IF, we get out of this, it will be because of us.

Every news outlet that broadcasts Trump officials telling barefaced lies about the ICE killing in Minneapolis should display the video of the shooting on a continuous loop concurrently with the officials’ claims.
