So where exactly in Montana is this?

Brown Medicine doctor deported despite federal court order. What we know. A court order that would have delayed the deportation of Dr. Rasha Alawieh was issued while her plane was on the tarmac, but it took off anyway.

Trump admin moves to deport a legal immigrant on a valid visa. Judge orders them not to. Trump does it anyway.

So what’s the remedy here?

This is good. Also, I have a good friend who works for full time for Keshet who hired my husband for a small consulting gig! Honored to have an association.

USAID official tells remaining staffers: Shred and burn all your documents The mass document destruction order marks the latest step to dismantle the agency.

Ordering a mass shredding of agency documents seems very dodgy. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

ICE arrests Palestinian activist who helped lead Columbia University protests Mahmoud Khalil was inside his university-owned apartment Saturday night when several Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents entered and took him into custody.

This is illegal, and it endangers the rights of all Americans.

In this country, people must be free to express their views — left or right, popular or unpopular — without being detained or punished by the government.

Powerful Speeches From Trans Dems Flip 29 Republicans, Anti-Trans Bills Die In Montana Transgender Reps Zooey Zephyr and SJ Howell delivered powerful speeches on the Montana House floor on Thursday. Republicans defected en masse to join them in voting against anti-trans bills.

More good news from Montana!I’m so proud to be represented by Zooey Zephyr and SJ Howell of Missoula. Two anti trans bills failed in the legislature, earning 13 and 29 republican votes respectively . Representation matters and moderates win. www.erininthemorning.com/p/powerful-s...

National politics have been so ugly. This Montana legislation session has been made me feel hopeful that conservative extremism is not inevitable.

Daily dose of joy: play Total Eclipse of the Heart while doing a menial task like filling the dishwasher or cooking a meal. Every time they sing “turn around” do what they say. Include your kids, your spouse, or your roommate.

This makes me so sad.

This bill must violate the Montana Constitution’s right to privacy, but is absolutely chilling.

Sent to federal employees on a Saturday. It doesn’t say when people must respond.

History: “Eventually the incompetent fascists invariably lose power and then society recovers in a new and stronger way”

Me: “Oh, cool, so what has to happen for the spell to be broken??”

History: “mmmm…well, that part is less encouraging.”

This seems extremely relevant to my Montana and west coast friends!!! @wired.com is doing great reporting these days..

This essay gave me all the feelings. My mother chose to end her life in March of 2008. Who knows what she would have done had she let herself get to May, when the Montana sun comes back? In the darkest, coldest days please keep reminding one another that it won’t last forever.

Snoop and Tom Brady: say no to hate

Kendrick: actually

The moment we say it's ok to violate the law to shut down one agency – we say it's ok to violate the law to shut down anything.

It feels like no one should have to say this, and yet we are in a situation where it needs to be said, very loudly and clearly, before it’s too late to do anything about it: The United States is not a startup. If you run it like one, it will break.

This op ed about the dismantling of USAID was written by a friend of a friend. The author describes the wastefulness of an action supposedly done in the name of efficiency. She also talks about how important the work was to her.
