ICE is now using photos rather than ids to check people's residency. What this tells us is Palantir has successfully brought together data at the center of our democracy that was never meant to be brought together. We now live in a complete surveillance state. Privacy as a legal concept is over.

"There’s about a dozen members in the conference that are in swing districts.
Many of them did want to vote on this Obamacare subsidy that Democrats created.
We looked for a way to try to allow for that pressure release valve & it just was not to be. There was not an agreement it wasn’t made."

The blockade of Venezuela is a disgusting echo of U.S. imperialism in Latin America. We were lied to about Iraq and WMDs, and an entire generation paid the price.

ICE Accidentally Publishes A ‘Watch List’ Of Immigration Lawyers, Which Is Definitely A Normal Thing For The Government To Do
This is... disturbing.
Let’s not forget, this regime has not been subtle about its hostility toward lawyers in general and immigration lawyers in particular.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

The new videos of the Brown shooter show a fairly distinctive walk/gait. Between that and the jacket, I'd be surprised if someone didn't recognize him.
The question is whether they'll turn him in when they do.
