"Untethered to the facts." That's the message we should be amplifying at every opportunity.

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

I have never seen such a blistering rebuke of a President by a federal judge. He is telling us clearly to stand up for our liberty against a dictator. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

ILLINOIS — BROADVIEW POLICE CHIEF ON ICE: “I was shocked. I’ve never been spoken to by a fellow law enforcement officer in such a way.”

ICE is routinely gassing cops and negatively impacting the community as their detention facility faces protests.

Keeping Reeve away from the most important game of the season felt like retaliation for her saying hard truths about the state of officiating in the W. Not fair to the players or to Lynx fans.

Broadview Police have opened an investigation into an attack from federal agents on a CBS crew at Broadview, per BPD Chief Mills.
The following statement can be attributed to Broadview Police Chief Thomas Mills:

“The Village of Broadview Police Department has launched a criminal investigation into an allegedly unprovoked attack on a CBS Chicago TV news reporter’s vehicle on Sunday by a chemical munition fired from the direction of U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement detention facility. The victim declined medical attention. The Broadview Police Department expects the full cooperation of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security into our criminal investigation.”

What the Trump regime doesn’t want you to know about Dallas ICE shooting
The Trump regime's refusal to say the names of the Dallas ICE victims exposes the inhumanity of American fascism.

Dehumanization and degradation on display. This whole encounter is giving off disturbing George Floyd vibes.

Well, in fact, I did subscribe to her Substack as soon as I learned she was fired. I've shared it. I listened to her interviews on The Left Hook and elsewhere. Some of us are doing what we can. And many of us wish we could do a lot more.

I understand your point, but that "you" is doing a lot of work.I canceled my subscription to WaPost when Karen Attiah was fired--it was the last straw for me--and I know plenty of others who did as well.
