I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC

I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.

I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

don't sleep on these prosecutor races!
A Democratic candidate for prosecutor in Virginia wants lawmakers to ban ICE agents from operating while masked; she says she’d then prosecute those who don’t comply.

This is one of the nation's 15 contested prosecutor races on Tuesday:
Your Guide to the 2025 Prosecutor Elections
Key races will shape the politics of criminal justice from Philly to Seattle—plus a wild card in New Jersey. But most of November’s 66 prosecutor races feature just one candidate, as usual.

No, they are Democrats in Maine. And also a fun bunch.
Waking up to the Graham Platner Defenders in my mentions, and they are a fun bunch.

It is so lucky for Democrats that this kind of discourse is no longer on Twitter where the national media and politicians would see it. Better for it to be sealed off in this asylum. This is genuinely just insane.
Robert Byrd seemed to genuinely repent for his past and spent decades atoning for it, to the point where the NAACP mourned his death as the loss of a civil rights champion. People can indeed change.

But there's no sign of a similar arc of sincere repentance and reckoning in Platner's case.

I do not think dixiecrat segregationists are the bar we should be aiming to clear in 2025

Also Byrd unreservedly repented from his previous views, Platner has nothing but excuses about how he didn't know it was a nazi tattoo bu if he did it's not a big deal anyway

A U.S. colonel was at the scene of Shireen Abu Akleh’s murder within hours and was able to conclude quickly the shooting had obviously been intentional. His boss then covered it up so as not to “displease” the Israelis, the Times reports.

Colombian mercs are stretched a bit thin for this. Maybe the Kenyans are wrapping up in Haiti and can pop into Venezuela for a little occupation on their way home?

Something has been conspicuously missing from the conversation over Platner: the views of voters in Maine.

We asked @nathantbernard.bsky.social to hit up some Platner town halls and talk to people. He found that the poll released this morning makes perfect sense.
Voters Weigh In, and from Waterville to Ogunquit, Mainers Are Standing By Graham Platner
A new survey finds the anti-genocide Platner with a blistering lead over sitting Gov. Janet Mills. Our correspondent finds the energy on the ground matches the numbers in the spreadsheet.

Wanted to take the bsky temperature on the Graham Platner Reddit revelations.

Folks concerned this damages him or plowing ahead of actually it helps him?
