A leaked DoJ memo calls for prosecutors to charge people who film ICE with “domestic terrorism”

They don’t want their atrocities documented.

They don’t want a historical record.

They don’t want the world to know.

That’s why we have to keep filming. Keep speaking out.

This is so fucked. The Epstein files revealed something chilling: DOJ collected the private airline booking records of a journalist who covered the Epstein case and attached them to 2019 subpoenas.

She did NOTHING WRONG. Yet her movements were tracked and stored by the government.

Trump is so deeply unwell, and yet here we are.
Trump: "It's funny, I settled 8 wars. Some were going on for 35 years. And we got them settled in a couple of days. Some of them -- one was going on for 37 years. I settled it in one day. But this is a very complex one."

I’m also just going to say that no one who knows anything about document review would do this even accidentally. There are protocols. You only do this if you are stupid, inexperienced; or intentionally trying to hide something, and there are still plenty in the SDNY who are not the first two.

Quite frankly I have been waiting for someone to write a takedown of @aft.org’s endorsement of AI in schools, because it is reprehensible.

@gregpak.net has done it, and every parent should read this thread. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing this document, @rweingarten.bsky.social.

I read it, and I believe it's inexcusably inadequate and will not prepare teachers or schools to confront the very real dangers of the "A.i." products pushed by your partners, including OpenAI.

A few thoughts for your consideration...

You may have heard that some of the Epstein files redactions have been broken. This is what happens when government lawyers don’t understand basic redaction security.

NSA standards require processing a document 25+ times to ensure redactions can’t be reversed. 🧵/2

It's true that this is wild to watch. DOJ's social account — and, likely, DOJ — is being run no differently than an online-sleuthing account. (Or, more accurately, an online grift account cannibalizing others' online-sleuthing.)
this is insane to me. the doj had forever to look into this. now they're like liveblogging on x like they have no more information than a random person on social media

BREAKING: The Trump administration is suing D.C. over its ban on semi-automatic (AR-15) weapons.

DOJ's Civil Rights Division under Harmeet Dhillon is seeking a court ruling that D.C.'s law "prohibiting registration of the AR-15 by law-abiding citizens violates the Second Amendment."

Fwiw I think the “apologize for being white” thing is very clearly about making sure white people don’t feel an obligation to alleviate past injustices or make society fairer. Ultimately to do that you have to raise taxes and the billionaires holding Vance’s leash don’t want that.

As a historian I've looked at hundreds of thousands of pages of government documents. And I just have to say that aside from being obviously illegal and clearly suggestive of some major crime, this “redaction” business is not a position in which serious people or serious governments find themselves
There is no basis to withhold these images under the clear terms of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. None.
WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.

Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.

Now, it’s gone.

In fact the Act prohibits them from redacting anything on the basis that it may cause reputational harm or embarrassment to a government official.
