NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

This is NOT me saying that you have to be a "good" homeless person to get compassion.

But if your understanding of homelessness in this area is "none of them want to help themselves" you are not qualified to speak. Sit down.

Now I wish I weren't township, and had a vote on this.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

We had Angela Davis speak at my university a couple of years back. One of the many insightful things she said - protest in the way that aligns with your passion. If that’s poetry do poetry or music etc. Because then you will be able to sustain it. If naked bike rides are your passion, 100% do that.

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry.

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

The Treasury Secretary declares himself to be pro-monarchy, and promises to punish the entire country if the people exercise their First Amendment rights.

Boston judge orders release of 13-year-old held at ICE adult detainee facility

As Israel govt gives a a standing ovation to Donald trump, I’d love to hear even one journalist ask how many meetings he sat in to make this happen. Or simply- tell us basic outline of cease fire plz.

Shout out to the Naked Bikeride who today ran hundreds of naked people directly through the line of federal officers and effectively blocked them from assaulting demonstrators. Being naked on a bike goes on the list of effective tactics if you get at least 500 of them and the city loves you.

Unfortunately the warnings were ”being cops” and “having tear gas”

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

Or as the New York Times puts it: “Mr. Trump's budgetary maneuvering appeared unorthodox…”

Outside of the Broadview ICE facility, a state trooper tells the delegation attempting to have communion with detainees that ICE has denied their request.

The end of federal enforcement of special ed laws. Some states - including MN - will likely be ok. But a lot of disabled kids in a lot of states are going to lose the education that federal law and decades of jurisprudence say they are owed.

All you peacenik liberals wringing hands over what to do: Yes, of course, vote. It's your primary responsibility as a citizen.

But now more than ever, fulfill your second civic responsibility: Serve on juries. Never has it been more imperative to thwart rogue injustice.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

Amazing

"So it is clearly better to present the Supreme Court majority as the face of an enigmatic and unpredictable god rather than to tie ourselves to a fixed principle someone might expect us to apply to all cases, including when we hate someone."

Don't forget to spend your FSA money. Lots of things that you can purchase using those funds will be of great use and interest to places like homeless shelters, domestic violence organizations, mutual aid groups & more.

Consider buying menstrual products for one thing.
