I posted a short video about today's ICE raids just to document the massive show of force that I saw to arrest no more than three people: youtu.be/gLsUtilFAOc

Well, that is one way to encourage activists around the state to paint crosswalks.

"Look, here's a cheap, peaceful and easy thing to do that they will notice!"
I think it’s fair to assume that if someone has a tattoo, they actually put some thought into it.
Trump demanding the U.S Treasury to pay him $230M, when he controls the people making the decision, is, quite literally, looting the U.S. Treasury.

Free speech is when conservatives can say what they want and when you can say what they want. bsky.app/profile/donm...
The silver lining is the Professor still has his faculty job, but this is explicitly viewpoint discrimination, a message that there is no such thing as faculty governance.
All admin must be aligned with a political party. For all the talk of leftist indoctrination, this is no different from China.

Remember when Bush came into office and they accused the Clinton predecessors of removing the W from the keyboards?

Last weekend, @annabower.bsky.social started to receive Signal messages from the U.S. attorney who is leading the prosecution of Letitia James.

Throughout the exchange, Lindsay Halligan complained about Bower’s tweets and reporting on the indictment–but never once asked to be off the record.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan Here.”

I worked with Erez Reuveni at the Dept. of Justice. He is a man of consummate integrity. His warning must catalyze action by us, the people of the United States.

The little town of Mystic, CT has a population under 5K.

Trump's federal agents shot Marimar Martinez, a US citizen, multiple times for allegedly menacing them with her car in Chicago. Only hours later, Kristi Noem and DHS started spreading disinformation about the shooting.

Now the official line is crumbling. 1/

Trump’s Secret Police Shot a Citizen. Then Damning New Info Emerged.
As the official Trump administration line about the shooting of a Chicago woman crumbles, Senator Chris Murphy is asking pointed questions about what really happened here. Will we ever get answers?

I’ve never seen sadism described like that.
Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

My favorite wall Trump never built remains the one between his administration(s) and his business
Eric Trump admits that Indonesian President Subianto was caught on a hot mic talking with his dad about Trump family business deals in Indonesia

(so much for the supposed firewall between Trump's business and the federal government ... )

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Those previously arguing to “defund the police” may have second thoughts if the police are standing up to ICE:
While I predicted a sick-out, I failed to identify the illness.

Which is why I should leave these predictions to the professionals.

I am wondering how many members of the National Guard are calling in sick after being told to attack another state.

While many in ICE may have signed on to be Gestapo, it is unlikely the NG members did.

#SickOut?
