So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

Everyone blaming potential victims and witnesses for “not talking” or “speaking out” are also at fault for upholding the institutions that empower and protect predators. It’s not the responsibility of the abused to protect the public but the public to protect the vulnerable. Tyrants are created.

Palantir posts mini-manifesto denouncing inclusivity and ‘regressive’ cultures | TechCrunch Palantir's ideological bent has come under more scrutiny as it's worked with ICE and positioned itself as a defender of "the West."

‘First-of-it’s kind:’ Minnesota Charges ICE officer with Assault Hennepin County has brought the first-ever state charges against an ICE officer tied to on-duty actions during the Trump-era immigration crackdown. Prosecutors have issued a nationwide warrant alleging the agent pointed a firearm at civilians from an unmarked vehicle. While the President has claimed federal agents have “absolute immunity” this case could set a major precedent for holding federal law enforcement accountable. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty weighs in, "even if it was removed to federal court...it is still a state court prosecution in federal court, state law applies, and the president cannot pardon anybody who has a state court conviction."

Minnesota has filed first-of-its-kind criminal charges against an ICE agent for on-duty conduct. A nationwide warrant has been issued. Mary Moriarty, the @hennepinatty.bsky.social, says "we're waiting to see what he does, but we've not heard anything from him, a lawyer, or the federal govt." #Velshi

No one can just walk up to the Oval Office, knock on the door, and have the President answer. There are fences and gates and Secret Service and snipers, etc. that have to be negotiated. Everything Trump does is just performative. Talk about fake news! But hardcore MAGA folks still believe it's real.

A tweet alleging House Republican leadership closed the House of Representatives to avoid voting on an Iran War Powers resolution, with an image of a man speaking at the House podium in front of a U.S. flag backdrop.

They don't want to be on the record as voting to support the war. So they avoid the vote taking altogether.
