ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

What rights do people have as ICE continues to grow, and as the president deploys the National Guard domestically? @anneapplebaum.bsky.social explores this in the new season of “Autocracy in America.” Listen here:
Federal Agents Are Violating the Rights of Americans

Antivirals for influenza aren't miracle cures, but they can make the flu less miserable. Americans aren't taking enough of them—including a lesser-known drug that is better than commonly prescribed Tamiflu. @sarahzhang.bsky.social reports:
The Best Flu Drug Americans Aren’t Taking

If you only have time to read one piece today, read this. It voices the particular pain civil servants have felt since “the purge”, which was never about waste, but rather removing the scientific and professional foundations of American government, making it easier to raid, sell, and manipulate.
The Purged
Donald Trump’s destruction of the civil service is a tragedy not just for the roughly 300,000 workers who have been discarded, but for an entire nation.

Tillis is spot on. The Senate can't confirm a Trump toady to succeed Powell at the Fed. The rest of the game is now out in the open, and it doesn't end well.

These are the sorts of things local authorities could be enforcing to get ICE out but aren’t, these are unequivocal public safety violations & with the mass of surveillance LP readers we already know where they are!

🔥 If an Agent commits crimes in Philly, I will charge you. You will be arrested. You will stand trial, and you will be convicted — in State or Federal Court — and you will do your time. Donald Trump can’t pardon you for a State Court conviction. - DA Larry Krasner, soon after ICE murdered Renee Good

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

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.

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.
