About 8 inches of snow at UAF thru 830am Friday. If the temperature stays below 0F today (likely but not certain), this will be Fairbanks’ highest daily snowfall with a sub-zero (F) high temp since Dec 26, 1965. #akwx #Snow

WOW; a DEEPLY corrupt move by the immigration courts; clear collaboration with Trump admin officials to produce a specific result with zero notice to the party and ALSO in a situation where the judge facially lacks jurisdiction; the judge had denied a motion to reopen and the case is on appeal.
Judge Xinis ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release in part bc ICE could not produce a final “order of removal” to deport him. So last night, they went out and got an immigration judge to issue one.
Now, Abrego is urging Xinis to block his redetention. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Wow, this is really bullshit. Don’t care what your background is, this conduct should get anyone fired. And it’s waay condescending to promote the idea that working class people just don’t know any better.
“Those of us on the left should be fighting to improve protections for workers of all races, and thereby for the betterment of people’s material conditions regardless of their views,” Arash Azizi argues:

The left should be promoting working-class solidarity, not delighting in seeing workers summarily dismissed.
