There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

Bernard LaFayette, the advance man who did the risky groundwork for the voter registration campaign in Selma, Alabama, that culminated in the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, has died. https://cnn.it/4l9weqG

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

A knock on the window and a glimpse of America’s surveillance future β€œThis is taking a big and very scary step toward a kind of totalitarian checkpoint society,” a privacy advocate warns in a special France 24–Mother Jones report.

License plate readers. Cellphone location data. Social media monitoring. Now, real-time facial recognition on the street.

DHS is building a surveillance apparatusβ€”and you're probably already in it.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Here is your brave head of Homeland Security protecting the Capitol on J6, hiding behind the seats, while the men guard the door. While Mullin ran for his life, he went on to call that day "one of peaceful protest". He will make a fine head of Homeland Security for Private Bone Spurs.

Markwayne Mullin Now Romantically Linked to Corey Lewandowski β€œThis isn’t what I signed up for," Mullin reportedly complained.

After receiving a barrage of late-night texts from Lewandowski, a flustered Mullin reportedly told associates, β€œThis isn’t what I signed up for.”

or they could say...

"We fucked up getting rid of DEI. Target was special because it was an inclusive environment for everyone, which created a harmonious vibe, but we got scared in November 2024 and acted stupidly. We are reinstating our policies and want to earn your business back."

Why was this story on the front page of the UK’s Daily Telegraph β€” but NOT America’s leading newspapers?

Headline and subhed of Washington Post op-ed arguing that there should be more representation of evangelical Christians on the Supreme Court and other government institutions.

I’m currently writing a book about what’s really wrong with #SCOTUS and how to fix it.

β€œDuplicative.” So there are multiple instances of Trump raping children in the files. Which would make every accusation corroborated by other accusations.

Not only that. The difference in total votes from 2020 to 2024 was only around 3 million fewer votes in 2024. There was likely a number of factors that led to the loss from suppression to racism and mysogyny.

The only racial group that can determine elections on their own is white voters.

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say β€œSend me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

If you must use Al (don't) or know someone who does and blindly believes whatever it says, before asking it a question, ask it why you shouldn't trust what it will tell you.
