It’s concerning that we’re enabling a police and surveillance state of unprecedented scale at the same moment when the veracity of any textual or visual document has become structurally suspect
“The thing that’s been the most difficult so far is that, in all of our interactions with the government, they’re denying that any of her birth certificates, which are from Laurel, Maryland, her records of immunization, medical records — they’re denying the authenticity of them.”
ICE Says U.S. Citizen's Birth Certificate Is Fake After Arresting Her: Attorneys
Dulce Consuelo Diaz Morales was arrested on Sunday. ICE won’t release her despite extensive documentation of her citizenship, her attorneys told HuffPost.

So, did MTG hire new PR, or something? She speaks like a more serious politician. Is she planning to run for president? 🧐

Mark L. Wolf has resigned as a federal judge in Massachusetts, a position he's held since 1985:
"My reason is simple: I no longer can bear to be restrained by what judges can say publicly or do outside the courtroom. Pres. Donald Trump is using the law for partisan purposes."

Please listen to Rep. Neguse.
I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

I'm reminded of how the late Christopher Hitchens reacted to Jerry Falwell's death, by lambasting his political legacy, with Sean Hannity on Fox at the time.

The plot has been completely lost. It feels parodic at this point. Like someone is trying to force a mass delusion. No thank you.

TX, FL, et al. pay attention.
If Texas follows through and gerrymanders Dems out of 5 seats like Trump wants, we’re on the fast track to being gerrymandered into oblivion.
Florida’s floating the same idea.
Democrats better fight back—hard. NY and CA should be considering every option on the table.

Totally 👇🏽💯! I hope more of us recognize how unjust & cruel this gov’s policies & actions are. Folks just came to the U.S. to live The American Dream & now they are disappeared, detained, trafficked, & abandoned. I solemnly pray they connect with only good & helpful ppl. Then, reunite w loved ones.
Why the F are you allowed to just dump a bunch of people off in a random country with no money, no ID, no passport, they may not speak the language and may have never even been there before. How is this okay? Imagine if another country sent their immigrants here & dumped them at the Dallas airport

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
