Safa Sefidgari was able to enter the U.S. in 2024 with a student visa. By the time her husband tried to join her, the Trump travel ban made it impossible.
People have come to hate social media, even if they’re heavy users of it. Social media use is dissipating, and polling also often shows concerns about its effects and the desire to live without it. prospect.org?p=136015
High-earning couples who consistently pay the maximum into Social Security during their careers stand to get the biggest benefits in retirement.
Tbf I think the CIA might have local expertise in this sorta thing
NOW: There are about 200 local faith leaders and congregants gathered at the Central United Methodist Church and holding an interfaith procession to the ICE Phoenix Field Office where they will hold a vigil for Alex Pretti.
fuck off into the wild blue yonder, @theatlantic.com, "sharper focus"
THIS IS WHO HE ALWAYS WAS.
He told you he would do exactly this.
HE IS DOING WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD DO.
An all out attack on the murder victim. This is the end result from us letting them get away with everything
We’re going to keep denigrating all of you helping the lives of the #veterans I’m supposed to serve until morale improves.
(Also a great recruitment strategy for the critically short staffed VAs around the country, A+)
The murder of Alex frame by frame. If you look away, you are complicit.
If you remain apolitical you are a coward.

To that end, USCIS declared flatly that the children of immigrants who are "unlawfully present" will "no longer be U.S. citizens at birth." They will, instead, inherit the status of their parents, rendering them detainable and deportable as infants and throughout their lives. There is no indication that the government will provide some grace period before snatching up and imprisoning this new underclass of noncitizen babies; they are apparently subject to arrest from the moment of birth.
Reminder: If the Supreme Court upholds Trump’s attack on birthright citizenship, some of the ICE officers currently brutalizing Minnesotans may be reassigned to apprehend newborns from the hospital for immediate deportation. Just read the Trump administration’s own memo. slate.com/news-and-pol...
Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration.
Congress can:
- Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage)
- Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes
- Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same
- Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction
It can be done.
MSP Tribune:
After latest MN shooting, a sense of exhaustion and fear www.startribune.com/ice-minneapo...
One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!
Moral depravity comes instinctively from JD Vance. This immediately after he traveled to Minneapolis to incite ICE and CBP officers to use lethal violence against innocent protesters.
This was Alex Pretti at work at the VA honoring a veteran who had passed.
This is who they're trying to falsely smear as a terrorist and assassin.
Per his colleagues: The victim’s name was apparently Alex Pretti and he was an ICU nurse caring for severely injured veterans at the VA Hospital. He was acting as an observer, filming the raid. Any suggestion that he was there with violence on his mind is horrific gaslighting.
What a beautiful human. Another devastating loss to society. I will fight in his memory and in the memory of all those who have been lost.
15 years ago I borrowed a bulletproof vest from a reporter so I could report from a war zone. I held onto it after I returned.
Last week the reporter finally asked for it back because he is headed to Minneapolis.
The Bellingcat analysis of the incident is, as usual, authoritative and dispositive. Read the entire thread. bsky.app/profile/bell...
Your HHS tax dollars at work:
This is what Trump's ICE Gestapo does on their day off.
They just switch costumes.
The White Nationalist Patriot Front was at the National Mall on Friday.
Like all good Nazis, their response to protestors was, "Are you Jewish?"

This is how bad it’s gotten.
And thank God for the judges that are still defending the rule of law.
