Here's an 8-min video on (initially-secret) Customs & Border Patrol report, which found: in many vehicle shooting cases, agents intentionally put themselves in exit path of vehicle, thereby creating justification for the use of deadly force.

This is precisely how you should respond to a bullshit investigation.
“This new threat is not about my testimony last June, or the renovation of the Federal Reserve Buildings… this is a consequence of not following the preference of the President”

Me recommending @hcrichardson.bsky.social to a colleague: "She's a modern-day Indiana Jones. Part professor, part fighter of fascism. Only in this version, the MacGuffin is democracy." And then I had to explain what a MacGuffin is.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

Pretty sure it’s illegal to fuck with people’s mail and if you’re law enforcement you have to have a warrant to touch it.
Think your mail is private? In Columbus, ICE is playing "Postmaster General."

I need a historian's opinion. @hcrichardson.bsky.social Is it unfair to blame Mitch McConnell for the state of the country? First he blocked Obama's SCOTUS pick 11 months before election day then 4 years later rammed through Trump's pick 2 weeks before election day. I cannot forgive him for that.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Know what I'm going to do when the clock strikes midnight on January 1, 2026? Visit @marklewisohn.bsky.social website to see if the blurb under Volume 2 of the brilliant Beatles "All These Years" series changes to, "It WILL be out this year." That'll be the best gift ever!

Today is the anniversary of the Sandy Hook shooting. There are no words to express the grief and anger that our young people continue to be slaughtered in school.
And for what? More guns?
This is a policy failure — and a moral one. Enough.
My heart is with Providence today.

Justice Sotomayor: "You mean to suggest that the fact that one major donor to the current president, the most major donor to the president, got a very lucrative job immediately upon election from the new administration, does not give the appearance of quid pro quo?"

Wow! The Supreme Court basically just said, if you want to do racial gerrymandering, have at it.
Let’s be clear, what Texas did was racial gerrymandering, plain and simple. SCOTUS just opened the floodgates.

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.
The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.
In case you needed a reminder that the most loathsome people in the world work for DHS.
