Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."

ICE took the flower man in Echo Park 40 minutes ago. He’s at this corner every day. I’ve bought flowers from the man and woman here for anniversaries and birthdays. Lemmy loves to smell them whenever we walk by in the mornings. I was just at the street corner 15 minutes before it happened. Fuck.

This is who ICE murdered. A VA nurse who dedicated his life to helping critically ill veterans.
Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice."
Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.
We are calling on local, state, & federal authorities to conduct immediate oversight, to ensure that these facilities are held accountable & that access to counsel, the cornerstone of due process, is fully protected.
No one deserves to die waiting for their day in court, cut off from their family.
This interview, which is also available to listen to as a podcast, provides a useful overview of some of the dangerous trends we’ve been seeing in recent months regarding federalization and militarization of state and local police functions.

Social media feeds are increasingly being overrun by AI slop, writes José Marichal. But while the dangers of AI slop are often framed as large tech companies imposing dangerous tools on an unsuspecting public, perhaps we should also consider why we are so receptive to low quality content, he says.
Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.
Shabbat Shalom to everyone who recognizes that the safety, freedom & thriving of Jews and Muslims are bound up together — in Israel & Palestine, across the five boroughs, and in many other beloved places.
Make no mistake, the SCOTUS decision about birthright citizenship IS ALSO ABOUT *birthright citizenship.*
The Court is using nationwide injunctions as the tail, wagging the dog, to take us back to an Antebellum view of citizenship.
That way led to war once.

This article is worth a read. It’s a story about honor and losses - personal losses with big consequences that we all should mourn.
THEY F*CKING TOOK THE ICE CREAM MAN! The photo says it all.
Masked ICE goons grabbed Enrique Lozano in front of a Culver City, CA church. A Community Coalition helped the family identify the abandoned cart, locate his belongings. For 20 years, loved in the community. "Hardened criminals" - my ass.
Another great article by @gustavoarellano.bsky.social. Note: It seems like in the 80’s and 90’s, I was called “Joe” a few times by mistake. And my last name was botched several times. Seemed to fade away for me in the 21st century.
As AI grows more powerful, 'AI4Good' narratives gain traction—but who is it really good for? These efforts can deepen inequality, enable digital colonialism & fuel nationalism, write María Jurado and Suvradip Maitra. www.techpolicy.press/the-ai-for-g...
The Court has deemed district court orders irrelevant. They can be repeatedly & explicitly violated by this Administration in ways that will irreparably harm migrants (sent to war-torn S. Sudan or Libya w/o due process) & the SCOTUS conservatives will defer. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
More to come later today but here is a first look at what just a few hours of observing with the world’s largest camera can do. 🔭

Thread by @armscontrolwonk.bsky.social noting that the US & Israeli bombings may not have destroyed the 60% enriched uranium AND may have left Iran with an enrichment site -- with more incentive to rush to weaponization. So the bombings may simply accelerate Iran's acquisition of nuclear weapons.
So Trump lied when he said “Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated”? No way? He lied?
The racism is off the charts with this regime.
Emerson Colindres, a recent high school graduate & wonderful athlete, a 19 year-old kid was abducted at an immigration check-in.
He was thrown in jail & then deported to a country he left at age 8. He has no connections there & no place to stay.

Tariffs.

This is the worst first six months of any presidential term in my lifetime.
Worth noting that back in the 1920s many localities were filled with mask wearing vigilantes, many of whom were also police officers, who sought to rid the nation of foreign “contaminants.” That group was the Klan and they targeted Catholics, Jews, Black people, and Mexicans.
