Tomorrow marks the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama. It also marks the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court first upholding the Voting Rights Act.
We have gotten so, so far away from a Court that cares about democracy.
New from me at @brennancenter.org:
Can anyone help me understand why #Kids&CaretakersOutOfCamps isn't one of the conditions for DHS funding? Why confine only to DHS/ICE conduct on streets and not inside concentration camps?
If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
The mother is an asylum seeker. Her 7-year-old is deaf and didn’t have his hearing aids when he was detained.
“Dog Bites Noem”
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
C’mon, people. Look at your Kremlin style guide. The phrase is “special military operation.” Not all of you are getting this right.
NYT.
He’s literally trying to use this war to *checks notes*...
Make us forget about the Epstein files, bait us into funding DHS without any guardrails on ICE’s lawless behavior...and now let Netanyahu off the hook.
No, no, and no.
Did you have like an openclaw agent as the reviewer for these piece pieces?

Must-read from @nytimes.com featuring @ucberkeleylaw.bsky.social prof @claudia-polsky.bsky.social, "who has led a class-action lawsuit among University of California researchers that has restored, for now, at least a thousand grants worth about a billion dollars." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
ASK ABOUT HER PLANS FOR THE AGENCY
ASK HER ABOUT HER FAVORITE PART OF THE JOB
This is amazing; am watching on C-SPAN3. If she had a staff member who liked her, that person would've walked up to her 15 minutes ago to whisper in her ear to get out of there.
But no one is protecting her. Any one of these attendees can break the news to her on live tv.
"It's stupid, it's been done before, and in fact--I've done it"

Man she would get bitten to shreds at the entrance to the Rainbow Bridge

This is a lesson about the price of hubris. The moral is, if you’re a government official you can’t get away with stealing $140 million and buying a luxury sex plane. You have to settle for stealing $2 million and buying a chauffeured escalade with a tinted privacy screen between you and the driver
