Legal status doesn’t matter: if you exceed ICE’s melanin threshold, you get snatched. It is ethnic cleansing. There is no other word for it.
The news has shown you video of these often violent detentions. What you don’t see is what happens to these individuals after.
I’ve had a front row seat.

History rhymes. At the beginning of the Japanese American incarceration- I’ll never call it an “internment” again because fuck euphemisms - the WRA camps weren’t prepared to feed/house not just the sheer # of people, but whole families. Many prisoners had to plant illicit gardens for sustenance. 1/x
And what awaits these clients in Texas? Unspeakably cruel and inhumane treatment.
1. Rotten food. I had a client explain she had to make a half-pint of milk and an apple last every day because the other meals consisted of spoiled or rotten food. One client wasn’t fed for >36 hours.

House passes SAVE America Act, sending Trump-backed election bill to the Senate
The legislation would overhaul federal election laws in all 50 states by imposing new voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements. But it faces a daunting path in the Senate.

If you ever groaned at a "both sides" treatment of an issue you care about, you might gain something from Brian's post.
Marty Baron's Post thrived because it took meaningful steps away from false balance, toward a defensible north star. As long as media execs insist financial pressures require wooing back right-wing audiences, why help them build a false sense that this is possible? www.offmessage.net/p/a-requiem-...

Republicans have been holding this vote open for 40 minutes or so, but the holdouts- Massie, Kiley, Bacon, reportedly left the Capitol. The absent Republican is Greg Murphy (R-NC), who has missed a lot of time since a mid December surgery.

Faced with cultural rebellion, all MAGA has left is to saber rattle at people who criticize Trump on the world stage. That was unbecoming, but not a sure loser, when Trump was at 50-50. Now that he's closer to 40-60, they're making themselves laughing stocks. www.offmessage.net/p/trump-has-...

1. A passport, which more than half of Americans don’t have and costs at least $130
OR
2. A birth certificate PLUS your photo ID with matching names, which nearly 70 million married women lack
OR
3. Military services papers (not a military ID alone) with sensitive info.
I’m voting NO.

Over a year’s worth of rain — and it’s only early February. This is hydrologically absurd.

Empathy—in and of itself—is anti-fascist.
The arts—and the project of higher education as a whole—teach empathy, enabling you to put yourself in other people’s shoes.
So to a fascist, they must be destroyed.

The ripple effects are enormous and will undermine public health for decades to come.

One more comment on the Post debacle: this hurts journalism broadly. Good journalists will go do something else. The rest will be fighting for fewer jobs and everyone will earn less. Fewer people will take up the career. The damage done is to the ecosystem, as well as the paper.

He cannot be clearer. There is no difference to him between bombing random fishermen on boats and shooting Americans protesters in the face
I swear this clip is not edited. Trump pivots from downplaying the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti ("two people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity") to in the very next breath claiming "we've been very tough on the waters," leaving Tom Llamas baffled ("the waters?")
