I haven't had time to properly explain how timely both #Superman and #FantasticFour and are.
Bright, shining messages of hope and calls to action that anyone can be a hero. That greed and selfishness are deadly poison.
That we CAN do and be better.
I hope we make them proud.

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

Part 2 has an excellent reminder for all. If you do anything towards federal agents or any federally controlled force such as the NG, your city's DA cannot help you. It goes to federal charges and the federal DA.

Found this two part series on Instagram by @wildwestsf.bsky.social & i must say, San Francisco seems to be doing something great here. Community planning and getting ahead of the chaos that is ICE raids in a community that does not want them.

This is a consistent theme since yesterday from people on the ground in Paramount.

Yes, there are crowds, there are protesters.

But they are PEACEFUL.

ICE began firing tear gas, flash bangs and smoke bombs once they saw people who happened to be there start filming.

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family.

I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

happy to be quoted in this article from @katelynburns.com about the phenomenon trans on trains. pretty good read! there's so much overlap that it really is something worth exploring more. my staunch urbanism is in lockstep with my views on gender.

Why Are So Many Trans People Into Urban Planning?

Trans people are often advocates of radical transit and urbanist policy—Katelyn Burns investigates why.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

New — ICE will release the mother and children they shackled and unlawfully abducted from Sackets Harbor, NY in late March after relentless pressure from the town.

I write how the incredible outcome of this horrifying story should give fuel us to fight back: www.thehandbasket.co/p/sackets-ha...

The people of Sackets Harbor—and especially the school administrators and teachers—should serve as an example for us all that resistance can work. You do not need to comply in advance. The Trump administration is powerful, but not invincible.

This story is a reminder to journalists that reporting on things happening in the smallest places can have the largest impact. My hats off to the local journalists who first made noise about this miscarriage of justice. I feel fortunate that I could help amplify it, and that we can celebrate this small but powerful victory.

And we can rest a little easier knowing the third grader will finally get to see the welcome home banner hung by classmates with love.

Sotomayor: "The implication of the Government’s position is that not only noncitizens but also United States citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal"

#BREAKING: 5-4 Court, with Barrett joining the three Dem. appointees in dissent *vacates* Chief Judge Boasberg’s temporary restraining orders in the Alien Enemy Act cases. Judicial review must be available, Court holds, but has to come through habeas petitions:

An extraordinary separate dissent from Justice Jackson accuses the majority of trying to pass off its dirty work under the cover of the shadow docket and explicitly invokes Korematsu, the Japanese internment case. Wow. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

I lament that the Court appears to have embarked on a
new era of procedural variability, and that it has done so in
such a casual, inequitable, and, in my view, inappropriate
manner. See Department of Education v. California, 604
U. S. ___ , ___ (2025) (JACKSON, J., dissenting) (slip op., at
1–2). At least when the Court went off base in the past, it
left a record so posterity could see how it went wrong. See,
e.g., Korematsu v. United States, 323 U. S. 214 (1944). With
more and more of our most significant rulings taking place
in the shadows of our emergency docket, today’s Court
leaves less and less of a trace. But make no mistake: We
are just as wrong now as we have been in the past, with
similarly devastating consequences. It just seems we are
now less willing to face it.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

Maybe April Fools Day is not the best day to to revisit social media after being mostly off it for a while. My filter for what is real and what is absurd is not finely tuned and it’s all just … a lot.
