- 1) The situation is still intolerable in MN; 2) If/when ICE does leave town, it will be in order to recreate these same horrors elsewhere. The immediate fight in Congress should be to end ICE “surges,” not to modify how they’re conducted.
- This is great reporting, and I’m really interested in this person who moved from thinking Trump 2 wouldn’t be that bad, to going out to follow ICE
- (I‘m realizing that skeet might have seemed snarky, which I didn’t mean it to be - it’s just making me re-think my mental model of how people become activists.)
- Congress has got to force an end to these surges.
- Exclusive: DOJ is requiring all 93 US attorneys to designate prosecutors for "emergency jump teams" supporting surge districts dealing with assaults & obstruction of federal officers, per internal memo. Comes as more Minn. prosecutors resign. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...
- This is one of the most sickening things I have ever read. slate.com/news-and-pol...
- Sens. Young & Banks introduce this nominee as a defender of [cis] women...and then he's asked about his previous statement that wives should be subject to their husbands.
- Ah, "commonsense" reforms, aka "things you'd suggest if you didn't really understand the problem."
- American Beauty, famously a movie about “healthy heterosexuality.”
- Like, I am still kind of wondering if this is a bit, though I don’t really think RH does (attempted) humor.
- Trump now demands $1B from Harvard www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
- Incredible reporting. Here’s the email that launched an intrusive and frightening investigation:
- It’s hard to tell from the story whether Google was actually resisting the subpoena, or if it just hadn’t gotten to it yet. Would be curious to know more about their current practices!
- If your email address is publicly available, you‘ll get a certain number of unsolicited emails from the public, in a range of emotional registers. If your response to a polite message like this one is “send in the FBI,” perhaps consider a different line of work.
- (Now I’m thinking about friends who have received unhinged anonymous death threats, who were advised to just save them in a special inbox folder.)
- This is very good: www.theunpopulist.net/p/the-fashio...
