Americans Have Never Had Less Recourse for the US Government Violating Rights: A Conversation With Steve Vladeck Accountability under both state and federal law faces high hurdles, but Congress could fix that

I sat down with @stevevladeck.bsky.social at @theunpopulist.net to discuss the hurdles to states potentially prosecuting ICE agents for murder and other crimes, and the need to fix Section 1983 so federal agents are subject to civil liability for violating people's rights.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

It’s because of legal citation: see F.2d, F.3d, F.4th often enough and it gets burned into your psyche, lol.

As someone who gave up on GoT before the end and never got into HoD, I’m pleasantly surprised at how good A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is.

nyt website currently resembles one of those mock covers people made before 2016 election: economy floundering, war in the middle east, scandal-plagued cabinet sec, brazen corruption....

🧡Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/

Not that 2026 hasn’t already been terrifying in many ways, but that is genuinely terrifying.

ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

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.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Perry: This St. Patrick’s Day, don’t forget Irish music’s anti-fascist roots Dropkick Murphys, the iconic Irish American punk band, are headlining a free block party March 6 near where Alex Pretti was killed by immigration agents, contributing columnist David M. Perry writes.

NEW β€œWe’re celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You can’t keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, it’s ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.”

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Just because you got fired, Minnesotans won’t forget what you did to our neighbors. We will continue to fight for you to be held accountable.

I have a non-trivial concern that the U.S. will use this as a tactic to be at war with India somehow.

That doesn’t sound like fun for anyone.

Interesting.

But also, if I’m India, I’m boiling mad the US didn’t inform Indis first. That’s also a security breach.

Also, if I’m an opposition party in India, I’m seriously questioning the government on possible security breaches involved when a U.S. sub remains undetected in international waters so close to India.
