Right-wing media claim that ICE agents need to be masked for safety. New reporting shows that working in immigration enforcement is actually safer than being a civilian.

“Not Ready for Prime Time.” A Federal Tool to Check Voter Citizenship Keeps Making Mistakes.
The Department of Homeland Security pushed out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.

i think nominating Gavin Newsom will lose the White House again for Democrats. The party's left flank will stay home again because he's an empty corporate shell. The age of Democrats punching left to appeal to the center is over and it's now a matter of if the party as a whole realizes that or not.

A year after her announcement, I remain absolutely thrilled with @peggyflanagan.bsky.social as my candidate for U.S. Senate. She‘ll be a great successor to Tina Smith and, before her, Al Franken, some asshole, and Paul Wellstone. She believes in politics as being about improving people’s lives.
Let’s go.
I love Minnesota and my intention is to run for United States Senate and continue to serve the people of this state. I’ll make a formal announcement later this month. In the meantime, I’m talking with community and my family and friends. I will have more to say soon.

I'm on receiving end of righteous fury over the fact there's no alternative to Klob for governor (not my fault, I'm a city politics guy, leave me alone!). All I can say is stop worrying about things you can't control. Put that energy into DFL majorities in the state legislature.

Would really like to know who made the decision to call off the Emergency Alert tests for two months in a row. Not disagreeing with decision necessarily but would like to know if #ICE made them do it or if someone inside independently chose to silence them or who did it. #TheOccupation #Minneapolis

Unlike, say, data analytics giant Palantir or some other high-profile surveillance companies, Ring is a surveillance network that homeowners have by and large deployed themselves, powered by fear mongering against our neighbors and unfettered consumerism.
With Ring, American Consumers Built a Surveillance Dragnet
Ring's 'Search Party' is dystopian surveillance accelerationism.

Meanwhile Howard Lutnick remains our commerce secretary after bringing his children to vacation in Epstein Island. Has anyone even investigated this?
