A federal judge in Denver today ruled that ICE agents have routinely carried out illegal arrests in Colorado, and ordered the agency to better document detentions so their legality could be monitored // Story by @sethklamann.bsky.social
Federal judge orders ICE agents in Colorado to follow law, stop ‘pattern’ of illegal arrests
The 66-page decision came three weeks after four immigrants testified that ICE agents had arrested them without warrants and without first checking to see whether they were likely to flee.

Alabama’s voucher scheme is doing exactly what it was designed to do: drain public schools to subsidize religious indoctrination.
Alabama is funneling millions of taxpayer dollars into private schools using textbooks that deny evolution, whitewash history, and attack LGBTQ people.

Support for economic populism and support for minority rights are NOT in opposition to one another.
If anything, they should be seen—and politically leveraged—as mutually reinforcing positions. In the most recent elections, Democrats did just that and won overwhelmingly.
The framing here is wrong.

So, the question is, did Trump know it was a Russian wishlist when he was pushing Ukraine to accept it by Thanksgiving? Or does he know absolutely nothing about anything going on in the entire administration and just spouts whatever nonsense people tell him?

The plan was leaked by the Russians and no one in America’s historically inept administration knew what anyone else was doing so people started getting behind it because they thought it was official policy.

The Danish Model is actually a model for how to hand your country over to xenophobes
After more than 10 years of “the Danish Model”, nativism is hegemonic in the country, the far right polls near level highs again, and the Social Democrats lost Copenhagen and poll at historic low.
