It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.
If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

The cynics think today's attack on Venezuela is staged and transactional. Maduro is allied with Putin, but in 2019 Putin offered Trump a swap: Russia cedes Venezuela and gets Ukraine. (See Fiona Hill's testimony in Trump's first impeachment trial, h/t @davetroy.com). Even Maduro may be in on it. 2/

2/ In November 2025, it emerged that the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) had quietly removed two panels memorialising Black soldiers at the Margraten war cemetery in Limburg. The cemetery itself had been created through their labor.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

After hanging our owl box in the Spring, today we spotted our first visitor. If he finds a mate, we could be seeing chicks in a few months. Eastern Screech Owl.

This is George. He’s a lone goose who has been injured at some point and is hanging out with us, his flock having moved on without him. He’s been around since the summer is is looking a lot healthier recently.
