Again, raids and terror started in early June. It took 4 months, of ongoing raids and detentions and the deployment of the military on bogus reasons, for local leaders to do this.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County is home to over 3 million immigrants, according to supervisors, who said the ICE raids have "caused widespread fear" and led to "decreased attendance at workplaces, disruption of local economies, and strain on critical services such as schools, hospitals, and places of worship."

If this story is true (guess whether I am putting my money on whether DHS or she is lying), DHS illegally assaulted and arrested this woman, then dragged her through social media hell with all sorts of lies and mockery. I hope her attorneys are relentless.

adviser amid push to control
student newspaper's content

The director of student media at Indiana University was fired amidst a dispute between university leadership and editors at the Indiana Daily Student over what content gets printed in the student newspaper.

As director of student media, Jim Rodenbush did not directly oversee or have any say over the content published in the IDS, per a charter between the IDS and the university. But he told IndyStar his firing follows a series of meetings with IU Media School leadership in which it grew increasingly apparent they were expecting him to officially prohibit students from publishing news.

"What you fail to see Mr Pope,"

New York Times Opinion @nytopinion.nytimes.com · 2h

It makes sense for the Roman Catholic Church’s social doctrine “to take the form of general moral guidelines rather than a checklist of policy obligations,” Ross Douthat writes about Pope Leo XIV’s first apostolic exhortation. “At the same time, however, there is a danger in vagueness and vapor.”

Opinion | Pope Leo’s ‘Dilexi Te’ Needs to Be More Specific

A pious vision of political economy should get more concrete.
