We the people aren’t terrorists, but ICE agents !

Peaceful demo. NO KINGS:
Know your rights, memorize emergency numbers, prepare your response to ICE.

If they hunt you ore your neighbors today who will it be tomorrow? A society that normalizes fear puts everyone in danger.

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

Oof, relatable disclosure in Illinois's/Chicago's National Guard case: One of Judge Perry's law clerks tried to text a fellow clerk to complain about DOJ, accidentally texted a friend who worked for the opposing party (IL AG's office)

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social • 15m
U.S. District Judge April Perry just took the bench for this morning's status hearing in Illinois v. Trump, over deployment of the National Guard.

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social • 10m
Perry called everyone in to make a disclosure. After listening to 9th Circuit oral arguments on Nat Guard over the weekend, Perry says one of her clerks realized the government had taken a position there
"inconsistent" with what had been said in Perry's courtroom.

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social • 8m
That frustrated law clerk texted someone they "believed" to be another law clerk, but who turned out to be a "friend of theirs who works at the Illinois attorney general's office."

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social • 7m
That clerk realized what they'd done within about 90 seconds, deleted/edited the message and asked the friend if they'd read it. The friend said they'd "seen enough to know it was not meant for them."

Jon Seidel
@jonseidel.bsky.social
Bottom line: Perry says that clerk will no longer be working on this case, going forward.
Neither side made a motion based on this disclosure, but I didn't hear anyone rule it out, either.
Either way, hearing adjourned.

🚨Portugal, a founding NATO nation, just delivered a shock: its president says Donald Trump “functions as a Russian asset.” At a historic rupture, allies fear America’s leader is tilting the West’s security and NATO itself toward Moscow.

The city failed this family, just as it's failing to hold bad landlords accountable.

Those days will end.

We will rebuild the Mayor’s Office to Protect Tenants—a longstanding tool of City Hall that has been defunded and deprioritized.

And it will finally have real teeth.

Calling people “racist” for criticizing comedians taking the Saudi Blood government’s money is certainly one way to go about it.

The criticism was never of the Saudi people. But Whitney knows that. www.thewrap.com/whitney-cumm...
