ICE has told lawmakers the app, called Mobile Fortify - which uses facial recognition - can provide “definitive” determination of someone’s immigration status despite that fact that experts have been screaming from the rooftops that FR tech is unreliable.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.
If you are a resident of California, the state now has a portal where you can demand deletion of your personal data from 500+ registered data brokers with a single request form, for free.

Fire tonight in Amsterdam. #vondelkerk ? Tragic.
News Team, Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier. I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity. Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one. We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story. If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we
have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient. If the standard for airing a story becomes "the government must agree to be interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state. These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless. CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones.
We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet. I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight. Sharyn
Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:
A badge of honor.
Was an excellent concert tonight. Second one on the Got Back tour for me.
Palm Springs Police Chief Andy Mills addressed the No Kings crowd of 5000 tonight. So proud to be part of the team that made this entirely peaceful event happen so that we can exercise our contitutional rights. #nokings
Yup, they voted for this. What else would you expect from a felon other than more criminality?
I didn’t give a wit about new pope coverage, but the first American pope being a man with Black ancestry born in Chicago by way of New Orleans by way of Haiti. Names his self after the pope who condemned slavery? In the Trump era? Oh, baebae, I am HERE for it.

We need the miracle of them waking up realizing they are in a cult

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.
No one has heard from you in 43 days.
As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.
Thank you! However I think that was a different Eric Lybeck. :-)
Gracias por tu alegría, Papá Francisco.
Help Andry too
Time to stand up, show up, and speak out. Change doesn’t come to those who wait—it comes to those who demand it. Get out there. Make noise. Be seen. ❤️🪧📢

Thank you Senator, I pray for both of you, due process and reuniting this man with his family.
Thank god he is still alive. Thank you Senator Van Hollen.
Two ways: Pope Francis visits a prison in Rome and, after spending time with inmates, blows them kisses. He said, "I ask myself: Why them and not me?" Rep. Moore visits a jail in El Salvador and gave a thumbs up to their suffering. Which way would Jesus, imprisoned during the Passion, prefer?
If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is.
Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.
Delusional
"He was being slapped every time he would speak up… he started praying and calling out, literally crying for his mother," said the photojournalist. How can a 31 yo Venezuelan gay makeup artist land in El Salvador's CECOT w/o ever being charged of a crime? Answer: Trump. cbsnews.com/news/photojo...
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.
…Or an embargo on trade with the U.S., possibly joined by Canada and the E.U. They could hold their country together while ours tears itself apart.
BREAKING: Trump admin says it mistakenly deported a Maryland father who had *withholding of removal* back to El Salvador on March 15. Govt told court Monday it won't bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back. "What.The.Fuck..." one govt attorney told me. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc... @theatlantic.com
That action was taken before the rendition. What new actions are being taken?
