Here's what a senior homeland official told me about their development of ICE smart glasses: "It might be portrayed as seeking to identify illegal aliens...but the reality is that a push in this direction affects all Americans, particularly protesters."

You've never hidden who you are. You get your jeans at Costco, your polos at Old Navy, and your hackey-sacks from a guy who used to deal. When a friend talks over Ants Marching to joke about "that shitstorm in Chicago" you respond in-depth about the ICE abuses & local resistance
For about $30-$35 dollars, the FiiO EH11 and Moondrop Old Fashioned are screaming deals that compete with KOSS' classics. aftermath.site/koss-portapro-...

Anti-Zionism is rising as a response to what Israel is doing. It will simply not be possible to treat it as a marginal viewpoint that can be shamed or shunned into invisibility. Yes, antisemitism often cloaks itself in anti-Zionism. So don't do the antisemites' work for them. If you keep telling people that if they oppose the Jewish state then they must hate the Jewish people, eventually, they will believe you.
I don’t often find myself agreeing with Ezra Klein, but this is completely correct — and frankly, shows some guts for a mainstream liberal columnist to say. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/12/o...
the funny thing about sending jd vance out to do sensitive diplomatic negotiations is he has literally no experience. like, none whatsoever. he doesn't even have related experience in lawmaking or some executive role.
“'I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life,' the congresswoman said, fighting back tears.
"She described the way people were laying down inside as “like sardines.”
“'It is frightening in there,' she said. 'It is disgusting'..."

New: A surge in calls among Democrats to pursue Trump’s impeachment is hitting a wall with party leaders, who believe it will distract from their midterm focus on costs and corruption, according to interviews with over a dozen Democrats.
Some also view 25th Amendment as a nonstarter
This would include Thomas. An injustice if there ever was one.
Over half of Americans want Congress to impeach Trump now, according to a new poll. One in seven Republicans backs it.

From Getty: BEIRUT, LEBANON - APRIL 08: A firefighter walks through destroyed cars as a building burns after an Israeli airstrike on April 08, 2026 in Beirut, Lebanon. Israel has stepped-up its attacks on Lebanon following President Donald Trump's announcement of a two-week ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran, conditional on shipping being allowed to resume through the Strait of Hormuz. Israel says it will observe the ceasefire with Iran but insists Lebanon was not included in the deal, and has since launched the "largest coordinated strike" on Hezbollah targets since the cross-border war began on March 2. Iran and Pakistan - which has been coordinating peace talks - have said that the ceasefire would include Lebanon, while the US has yet to weigh-in. (Photo by Chris McGrath/Getty Images)
