Yes, you should be surprised and horrified by secret federal police running around our city kidnapping immigrants, crashing cars, launching chemical weapons and shooting and killing people. This is a thing you should be *perpetually* shocked by. We lose when we become numb to it.

I think we need a more granular unit of measurement than month here, I’m thinking days/hours

I doubt anyone can keep track of it all. Trump racks up more scandals in any given month than most administrations manage in eight years.

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...
Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver
Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

It has never been the gold standard of treatment. Saying something over and over again - as the private for-profit credentialing company has been for doing twenty years - does not make it true.

If you think you know why US newspapers died, this feature documentary now streaming for free on PBS might surprise you. It wasn't the Internet. Newspapers were specifically targeted by vulture capitalists.

I composed the score for the film, which features electric cello & Crowfoot guitars.

Special education isn't a "nice thing to have." It isn't "charity" or doing something to make us feel better. It is a right. The right to a Free Appropriate Public Education is codified in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, signed by a Republican president.

Thank you for showing up, thank you for being joyful with your daughter. Kids are watching and scared, and it’s our job as adults to show them the best way forward in all this mess. You did that, and she’s a lucky kid.

Ignore the critics.

Gratifying to read a respected voice is sounding the alarm about the unitary executive theory and warning about it, but it would seem it’s going to take a hell of a lot more voices screaming about it to change the trajectory we’re on.

living that horror right now, as i listen to a crew tear apart my kitchen ceiling as I type this
an interior room of a home that used to be a kitchen that is stripped down to bare studs. a lonely kitchen cabinet remains where a sink used to be and the range and a center island are wrapped in protective padding. Industrial fans and dehumidifiers are placed over the bare subfloor.

I am more keen to learn who’s profiting from this than I am concerned about who’s “funding” #NoKings

US Taxpayers are paying for ICE to fill up for-profit detention centers and deportation flights

How many of these privateers gave Tom Homan bags of cash to ensure they got first bite at the apple?

We at the El Paso Times have new updated photos of the East Montana ICE detention facility. It has massively expanded since we published the first photos back in August. The office of U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar told me there over 2,000 immigrants detained there*.
