Note that DHS was already tracking Martinez in advance of the shooting for IDing a guy who was involved in a really violent assault within blocks of the shooting (I think also on Saturday).

Stephen Miller just said the quiet part out loud claiming that Trump has plenary authority when it comes to deploying troops. (Plenary means full authority.) After making the statement, he froze completely, like a deer in headlights. The video is worth watching.

No they fucking didn’t—they said another manufacturer can make generic mifepristone, the same drug that’s been on the market for 25 years

A massive supermarket strike is brewing, with 150,000 workers moving toward a walkout.
56,000 workers in Washington, Idaho and Oregon have voted to authorize strikes at Albertsons and Kroger.
Grocery workers across Colorado have also authorized a strike, and more could follow.

This is a great tier list. In case I haven’t said it explicitly: we are so fortunate to have @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @bradlander.bsky.social in the race. I can personally attest, they show up for our communities, they care, and both are worthy of your enthusiastic vote. Do not rank Cuomo!
NEW — I wrote a guide to the upcoming NYC Democratic mayoral primary for both locals and outsiders to understand wtf is going on, including my recommended ranking order + other helpful resources.

Again, of course, we acknowledge that the master-plan for imposing lawlessness on a minority of the population by using the law to do it was Jim Crow, and the Nazis borrowed it extensively.
Here's a gift link to The Atlantic article written by the person Lithwick interviews. I found it to be a productively nuanced way to think with precision about the parallels between our present and 1930s era fascism. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...
America Is Watching the Rise of a Dual State
For most people, the courts will continue to operate as usual—until they don’t.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.
