In his mass deportation campaign, President Trump has sought to end humanitarian programs that have allowed people from troubled nations to live and work temporarily in the US. The most litigated: Temporary Protected Status, or TPS. Here’s a look at who still has it. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/04/u...

NEW: Mayor Wu has been one of the faces of pushback to Trump's ICE demands.

But a police grant the city is re-applying for is sparking concerns about helping immigration enforcement: not just due to new strings DHS is imposing, but also due to how a fusion center called BRIC is already working.

The grant helps fund a law enforcement center that’s drawn criticism over privacy and over data-sharing with ICE. It would also come with new strings to spend money on border control.

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.

The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

“And on a personal note… I strongly believe that the loss of local newspapers is an underdiscussed blow to our communities. With this comic, I hope to make readers consider that, as well as how we got here and how scary it is that nothing has effectively replaced what we once had.”

a real feature i wrote for The McAllen Monitor in 2009 is the (very loose) inspiration for the priest in our new comic, Macabre Valley #1 (follow it now: www.kickstarter.com/projects/zac...)

he'd adopted nearly 20 stray dogs in Mission, Tx., and they followed him everywhere, including to the altar

Why did I write about state court pushback to the Dred Scott decision? Because President Trump’s January 2025 Executive Order directly cited the Dred Scott decision when he took aim at birthright citizenship. And we could see state courts pushback against the Supreme Court again. I'll explain. /1

NEW: Many of SCOTUS's recent rulings have been criticized for their apparent bias and politicization. @marceliusb.bsky.social dives into the history of state court pushback against the 1857 Dred Scott ruling denying Black Americans citizenship to show how SCOTUS doesn't always have the final say.

How State Courts Pushed Back on an Infamous U.S. Supreme Court Case

Dred Scott, widely considered a stain on the U.S. Supreme Court’s history, denied citizenship to Black Americans in 1857. Many state supreme courts refused to follow it.
