I'm just some guy in Cleveland.
This guy owns BlueSky now. Not my fault. I seriously do not make the rules.
I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what
I stand with County Executive Calvin Ball as he signs emergency legislation today prohibiting privately owned buildings from being used as ICE detention centers.

Immigration is a fake problem. People come to the US for work when there are jobs for them. People come to the US for refuge when they have to.
Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

The University of Arkansas's law school just withdrew the appointment of its new dean six days after hiring her because conservative politicians complained that she filed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court in support of transgender students
Culture warriors cancel new U of A law dean before she started - Arkansas Times
Culture warriors claim the scalp of Emily Suski, the would-be law school dean whose legal opinion on transgender athletes seems to have offended Arkansas officials.

Cleveland is 3½ years into a ten-year plan to install "low cost quick build safety improvements at high-injury locations" as a "high priority" and has delivered a few curb bumpouts.

Oh wow you were forced to apologize for being white. How did you phrase your apology? Where were you? Who demanded it of you, and what law compelled you? Was it a local ordinance? State level? Was it court-mandated? Tell me more about this apology you made for being white.

A) You ordered your people to murder someone and they did it.
B) You run an organization in which everyone knows you wanted someone to be murdered, and it was carried out.
If I'm your lawyer or juror, I will work hard to distinguish A from B.
I am neither your lawyer nor your juror.

It is irresponsible to repeatedly believe people who are obviously full of shit.
I'll go further and say we need "It is irresponsible to repeatedly believe people who are obviously full of shit" to apply to voters as well. The "flood the zone with shit" people aren't winning with any specific bit of misinfo, but create a *permission structure* for believing it

I remember when Cleveland cops teargassed a peaceful crowd after falsely claiming the crowd had *set the Justice Center on fire* and was in the midst of breaking people out of the onsite jail.
They faced no consequences at all for the lies and unprovoked violence.

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.
I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

It’s pretty simple.
When you do a huge armed midnight raid on an apartment building rounding up and terrorizing children and later find out there were no criminals there everyone involved resigns in shame and we have loud showy Congressional hearings.

#Baltimore Mayor #BrandonScott invested in 42 summer youth camps, 29 literacy programs, extended the rec center hours to 11 p.m, planned block parties, opened the pools for safe fun, & opened several schools up for summer classes. Crime is down 62%. 🔥🔥 www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
Baltimore is seeing the city’s fewest homicides in 50 years. Here’s why.
Multiple people have taken credit for the historic drop that mirrors a national decrease in violent crimes. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott says it’s due to a community-based approach to gun violence.
