An ICE attorney is a white supremacist. ICE is okay with it, apparently. A new 501(c)(3) will be holding such lawyers accountable (coming soon to a website near you). We need lawyers/law students volunteers to help us with that. DM me if interested.

From @stevanzetti.bsky.social: In February, the Texas Observer confirmed that James “Jim” Joseph Rodden—an ICE assistant chief counsel in Dallas—operates a white supremacist X account. Now, ICE refuses to tell us, or members of Congress, if he's still employed.

No whataboutism here!

what the federal forces are doing is fascism, assault, kidnapping, and I am not defending it.

i am just adding that the LA Sheriffs have a culture of criminality with racist far right police gangs. They admit it. They would probably support the feds impersonating them.

However, according to a memo seen by Reuters, the department indicated that it would not do so."

Federal Judges— or staff, but same-same— used "AI" to summarize & draft rulings, issued them w/o checking the work, leading to basic factual errors, & thus undermining the facticity & validity of the rulings entire.

Gee. Who Could Have Foreseen. *stares directly into the camera like in the office*

Two federal judges say use of AI led to errors in US court rulings

Two federal judges admitted in response to an inquiry by U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley that members of their staff used artificial intelligence to help prepare recent court orders that Grassley called "error-ridden."

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, a TN sheriff had a 61-yr-old man arrested for posting a meme on Facebook, which the sheriff absurdly construed as a threat. It was pretty clearly bullshit but I dug into the case using FB & public records and now it looks even worse. My latest @theintercept.com:

The Absurd Prosecution of a Man Who Posted a Charlie Kirk Meme

Larry Bushart Jr. posted trolling memes on a Facebook thread about a vigil for Kirk. He’s been in a Tennessee jail ever since.

No question this is some shady illegal stuff but important to remember that the LA county sheriffs department is infamously riddled with criminal gangs. Going against state laws to help federal fascists is right up their alley.

Private prison executives casually discussed the "3,000 arrests per day" quota in earnings calls—despite the Department of Justice previously denying any quota exists. This is fueling immigration raids nationwide while companies rake in record profits.

I spoke with two seasoned nutrition researchers about RFK Jr.’s anticipated recommendation. While they had different views on how harmful saturated fats are, they both agreed that simply upping consumption is a bad idea, and that dietary guidance should focus on foods, not nutrients. My latest.

RFK Jr to urge Americans to eat more saturated fats, alarming health experts

Guidance from health and human services secretary contradicts decades of dietary recommendations Robert F Kennedy Jr, the health and human services secretary, is planning to issue guidance encouraging Americans to eat more saturated fats, contradicting decades of dietary recommendations and alarming experts. “My response and sort of counsel to myself was to stay calm, and let’s see what happens, because there was no indication given as to how, why, when this potential shift would occur,” said Cheryl Anderson, an American Heart Association board member and professor at the University of California, San Diego’s school of public health and human longevity science.
