Hey, Congressperson, ** what about our constitutional rights ** ?
What *about* that 5-year-old US citizen? Finish the sentence, Congressman. What does that hypothetical child have to do with Liam Ramos? Spell it out. Don’t just say “but what about our kids” and stop there. Explain your logic.
NEW: The unfathomable Minnesota transcript that must be read, as it tells the reality of America today.
"I am not white, as you can see," Julie Le — a government lawyer — told a federal judge on Tuesday. "And my family's at risk as any other people that might get picked up too ..."
Law Dork:
I wish there were some way for us non-white citizens to sue Brett Kavanaugh for the cost of shattered car windows and torn rotator cuffs. This lady is a member of SEIU, so she probably does work that requires the use of both arms.
Don Lemon and Georgia Fort have been released.
But the procedural history now emerging is unusual. Before the arrests, a federal magistrate judge found no probable cause to arrest them. The government appealed anyway.
Here’s why that matters—and what it signals more broadly.
It's a bit surprising to me that Clinton's statement goes much farther than the one released by the Obamas.
This is obscene cruelty for families who can’t afford to bribe the regime.
I wish WSJ could help more, but every little bit helps.
I appreciate those out there protesting at great risk to their lives however i think the nation needs to grind this economy to a dead stop.
It's something everyone can do safely. No spending on ANYTHING but absolute necessities.
I understand some shut ins can not do this but very many of us can.
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
Murdering people to get what they want.
Extortion.
This is not about immigration.
That’s a mask playing on hate.

Do. Not. Do. This.
First of all, Auschwitz and the ICE camps are NOT the same. We need to call them what the are and identify them accurately so we can fight them in the right way.
Second of all, HOW DARE YOU do wordplay with death camps where Jews were tortured and massacred.
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
Gladys West died January 17 at age 95, leaving an extraordinary legacy in mathematics and geodesy.
Here’s my portrait and bio 👩🏾🔬🧪🐡
This David French article shows the analytic peril of ignoring the way normal policing and repression work in communities of color. The so-called "dual state" he's highlighting (laws applied unequally, non-compliance met with violence) is *exactly* what Black Lives Matter was protesting.
Hey peeps.
Just recorded a few thoughts regarding what the escalation of violence suggests: the regime knows that they are losing.
U.S. citizen detained by ICE:
“…they finally told me that they could offer undocumented family members of mine legal protection if I have any…or money, in exchange for giving them the names of protest organizers, or undocumented persons. I was shocked, and told them no.”
Mark Ruffalo telling USA Today that the black-and-white pin he's wearing was in honor of Renee Good. He also speaks out against the war in Venezuela and calls Trump a pedophile and a rapist, 'the worst human being'
It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:
They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.
The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.
once again: ICE is operating as if they have a general warrant, the specific type of warrant the founders were most concerned about when drafting the 4th Amendment
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."
Bowie's passing ten years ago marked the beginning of people thinking there was something basically just *wrong* with 2016, and so arguably marks the moment when the damned butterfly shunted us onto what is decidedly the wrong timeline.
Writing up arrest report for SEIU CA President David Huerta, whom DOJ charged w/conspiracy to impede an officer after they assaulted him (they subsequently instead charged him w/a misdemeanor).
Some insane claims are good background to how Good got shot.

I can't say this loudly enough: THEY ARE TRYING TO NORMALIZE THE KILLING OF CIVILIANS FOR PARTICIPATING IN FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTED PROTEST ACTIVITIES.
We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.
J6 prosecutor: “It’s more maddening than it is anything else. I spent years of my life watching the events of that day unfold in front of me again and again and again. I spoke with dozens and dozens of people who were there that day and who are still dealing with the trauma.”
It should perhaps give us more pause that the Ogallala Group and related Miocene through Pleistocene deposits in Nebraska have a very nice chronological framework from the 40+ distinct tephra layers in it, with fewer than you'd expect having connection to the Yellowstone Hotspot....
