Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

I'm not a conservative commentator. No Billionaire is offering me $150 million. No TV network will make me its editor in chief.

I am just a lawyer who fights hard for democracy. I built Democracy Docket to keep you informed. For $10 a month, you can help it do its vital work. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

SCOTUS’ new term begins Monday, giving it a chance to further erode voter access and the power of minority voters. AFJ’s Rachel Rossi highlights key cases — from Louisiana redistricting to mail-in ballots laws — that could undermine democracy. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

Elizabeth Warren: "The president said 'I am going to impose a lot more pain on my fellow American citizens. I'm going to impose a lot more pain on people in NY who need to use those tunnels so I can get my way politically.' To me, that is a place to stop & say, then we're ready to fight about this"

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Dear @apnews.com

The republicans control congress. Democrats did not vote down anything. If the GOP wanted to fund the government, they could have changed the rules to pass a CR with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to approve 48 trump appointees at once.

Fix your headline.

BREAKING: Democrats vote down a GOP bill to keep the government open, putting it on track for shutdown after midnight.

Donald Trump is unleashing masked federal agents and military troops into our neighborhoods — dragging people off the streets, terrorizing families, and treating American communities like occupied zones.

Congress has the power to stop this abuse of power.

There is one tried and true way ordinary Americans can stop Trump’s political prosecutions: Jury Nullification. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Trump’s Politicized Prosecutions May Hit a Roadblock

When the president puts his political enemies on trial on pretextual grounds, jurors have the option of refusing to convict.

He fired the JAGs for the services in the first week of Hegseth's tenure. This was always where it was going. They don't want lawyers stopping their war crimes.

Brad Heath @bradheath.bsky.social · 28d

Military lawyers have warned that President Trump's strikes on two drug boats might not have been legal, possibly raising risks for the service members involved, "but believe they are being ignored or deliberately sidelined."
