I visited him in Texas for the one hour of the day when he's not in solitary confinement, to talk about life on death row — a decade after the real killer went free: youtu.be/0-GnKLFY_Gc?...
- Reposted by Susan Brooks ❌👑Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left. It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

- Reposted by Susan Brooks ❌👑Good. "But DHS isn't just ICE, it's also..." nope, wrong. DHS no longer serves any useful functions, the whole thing has been reassigned to repression. FEMA isn't even paying out to states. All DHS does is shooting, teargassing, facial recognition, and administrative warrants. Shut it down.

- Reposted by Susan Brooks ❌👑I would add: if a person who is here legally is held for more than half an hour (or whatever is a reasonable amount of time to check), that person shall receive $1000 per extra minute, with the first $10k to come from the detaining officer’s salary and the rest to come from the ICE budget.
- Reposted by Susan Brooks ❌👑So there was just a very loud and sustained "Fuck ICE" chant during a pro wrestling show on live primetime television, if you wanna get a sense of the vibe shift. (One of the wrestlers, Brody King, is an outspoken prigressive and wore an "Abolish ICE" shirt at a Mexico show in June.)

- Reposted by Susan Brooks ❌👑In November 2020, the (dumb, baseless) theory was that this involved Smartmatic. It’s useful to reiterate that no matter what lies the incessantly lying Gabbard offers, there’s no evidence that there was anything suspect about the election AT ALL, much less Involving some conspiracy linked to VZ.
- Reposted by Susan Brooks ❌👑I don't see how Will Lewis can effectively lead WaPo. Lewis did not save Bezos from himself on opinion pages. (375K+ cancelations) His innovations did not stem enough red ink. And he has not taken any ownership of the devastating ensuing cuts. He's making Murray own it alone.
- Good for this judge.
- I can now report that Judge Blackwell did not grant Julie Le’s request for a nap, and also noted that, as overwhelmed as she may be, the people who the Trump administration is detaining in violation of court orders have it worse ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

- Reposted by Susan Brooks ❌👑Crazy idea — wait for it — what if the federal officers just obeyed more laws, respected more civil rights, and assaulted fewer people? That wouldn’t overwhelm prosecutors with cases about the govt breaking the law, which is what is happening in Minnesota. Too crazy an idea, you say?

NO WORLD.

- Reposted by Susan Brooks ❌👑More specifically, he's lying that the SAVE Act is "voter ID." It creates a requirement at the time of *registration* to vote which is deliberately calculated to make traditional voter registration drives impossible. It is not what people usually think of and many states have, ID check at the polls.
