Add your name: Standing up to ICE is a Christ-like action. Once again, Christian clergy and lay leaders are showing moral leadership by resisting Trump's cruel attacks on immigrants and people of color. ICE and its allies are attacking them for it. act.faithfulamerica.org/sign/clergy-...

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

He's the fucking governor. If he wants the National Guard in Louisiana, he can do it himself. This isn't about that. It's about making a public display of ideological subservience to totalitarianism.

Stephen Miller: "The last message that Charlie Kirk gave to me before he joined his creator in heaven was he said that we have to dismantle and take on the radical left organizations in this country that are fomenting violence. That was the last message that he sent me ... we are gonna do that."

This piece by @froomkin.bsky.social needs to make into the Slack of the @nytimes.com

If NYT leadership (AGSulzberger, Joe Kahn, et al) is “neutral” on an authoritarian subverting American democracy-what do the 2,700+ journalists and employees think?

It is absolutely ridiculous that Adrienne Villa's death has basically gone unreported in local & national media

An anti-ICE protester being held on $1.3 million bail found dead in a courtroom jail cell & crickets from media. Should make you question why they want this kept quiet!
The System Killed Her. A recent report led to the striking discovery of a woman who died in LASD custody in June amid a legal assault against anti-ICE protestors. Her story raises troubling questions. with picture of Adrienne in background As if it were nothing more than a minor aside, the article’s author then immediately shifts away to other information. A woman was found dead in her holding cell directly near the courtroom she had been in earlier that day, where she pleaded not guilty to assault and battery of a police officer, and all she had was a fairly vague paragraph. If she were an anti-ICE protestor, as the article seemingly implied, then this would be a major escalation, as she would be the first anti-ICE protestor to die in Los Angeles. This would have been the direct fault of the state, in particular ICE and the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department (LASD), which was in charge of her detention at the time. Even if she weren’t, the seeming lack of details and the fact that it took multiple months for this tragic story to be reported on at all seemed perplexing and worth investigation.
