“Footage, obtained by the outlet, captured the musician face-down in the mud, with her instrument about two feet to her left, struggling as what appears to be a federal agent straddled her backside. A police officer stood next to the pair.”
The Feds then jailed her across state lines. For music.

The rule of law means future accountability must always remain possible. DHS is implying that accountability itself is illegitimate - a stunning rejection of democratic norms.

NEW: We obtained recordings from a crisis pregnancy center conference where anti-abortion law firms like Alliance Defending Freedom admit that CPCs are free to make referrals for abortion pill "reversal" at the same time they claim they’re being censored.
An @autonomynews.co @motherjones.com collab:

Abortion Pill “Reversal” Is a Hoax. It's Also a Powerful Right-Wing Legal Strategy.

Speakers at a crisis pregnancy center conference made rare admissions about the challenges of providing so-called abortion “reversal,” and indicate its importance as a litigation tool.

Apparently $20B of our taxpayer money wasn't enough to bail out Argentina.

Now Trump wants U.S. banks to divert ANOTHER $20B away from lending to American businesses, farmers, and families to prop up Milei's corrupt presidency and failing economy.

So much for America First.

“our law enforcement will continue to remove murderers, pedophiles, rapists, gang members, and terrorists out of our country"

So of course they went for the clarinet player, and not the felon in charge.
