To be clear, Judge Cummings ruled that ICE agents must wear body cameras AND have them turned on AND also cannot arrest anyone complying with their appointment dates at immigration courthouses.

Judge Cummings is Federal Judge for the N Dist. of IL. Every Judge nationwide should be ordering this.

It is a little funny that I'm trying to be very careful about what I say online these days because I work at a public school, but some prominent Democrats are saying a Nazi tattoo isn't a deal breaker in a race for the U.S. Senate.

This prof of art history at Hunter's old thread reminds me of a story that I'm too lazy to look up now: Fred Trump deliberately destroying early 20th century Coney Island attractions he promised he wouldn't destroy out of spite. bsky.app/profile/did:...
I'm just a lowly art historian, but in moments like these I always think back to one early sign of Trump's wanton, pointless destructiveness: his demolition of the priceless & irreplaceable Art Deco relief sculptures on facade of the Bonwit Teller building, which he tore down to build Trump Tower

45 yrs of US history, in 25 words:
The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

After Justice Powell wrote the first ruling letting corporations buy elections, he was succeeded by Anthony Kennedy, who would engineer the Citizens United precedent once Roberts/Alito were installed.

Knowing that, watch this 1988 ABC News story.

Yes, it was a master plan.

Rollins Edwards (below in both photos), a Black veteran, had long term side effects from exposure to mustard gas. His skin falls off in flakes.

That's his skin in a jar. 😪

They want to hide this history.

Don't let them.

And everyone expected it.
Guardian: Since Israel & Hamas signed the ceasefire, Israel has violated it 47 times, killing 38 Palestinians, wounding 143 more.

Netanyahu still blames Hamas, all while he bans journalists to prevent independent confirmation of his claims.

He Is A War Criminal.

This feels like it went under the radar a bit re public alarm - why are *ICE* stockpiling guided missiles? An agency that only operates domestically?
ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Stop calling them immigrants, protestors, or activists. Refer to them as civilians. Take control of the language and defuse their narrative. #3E

Justice for Virginia Guiffre PLEASE 🙏 💔 💔
BREAKING: "Today we learned that the Prime Minister of Israel repeatedly raped, choked and beat Virginia Guiffre and the media today won't even say his name or the country he was the Prime Minister of.

It's impossible to hate the media enough."

Republican politicians are dripping with contempt for older Americans — and the benefits we've earned.
Apparently the new right-wing talking point is that the No Kings protests had “too many old people.” I didn’t realize there was an age limit on defending your health care and Social Security.
