This is the Platonic ideal of a social media exchange, never again to be equaled or even attempted:
Done!
Is there another field in the world that has put itself through as many title changes as we have???

Your podcast on this with Tim, Will, and Sam was a delight!
Here’s the perfect antidote to the State of the Union speech
👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.
"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Report: Staff at Dilley raiding cells to confiscate kids' letters and drawings detailing conditions inside
ProPublica published children's letters and drawings documenting their sadness and suffering at Dilley. And Dilley staff are now retaliating by confiscating kids' letters and drawings.

The silence from the "Twitter files" pearl clutchers on this abuse of power shows, once again, that they never cared about free speech, but rather controlling the narrative and suppressing dissent.
Thanks to @masnick.com for this important piece.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
Not one dime for this cruelty.

Meatloaf?? Like, the food or the dead singer?
Anne Frank died from a typhus epidemic that spread through the concentration camp where she was imprisoned.
Most of the footage you see from ICE observers in Minnesota comes from the core cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. I talked to observers in the northern suburbs, who say they're taking on the same mission in very different conditions. (1)

It does worry me that a kid's odds of getting out of a tortuous detention center are mostly dependent on whether a random bystander got a perfect picture of them looking sad
Vegetables, right? How about roasted cauliflower and Brussels with olive oil and salt? Or steamed broccoli and brown rice?
Ultimately, Petitioners may, because of the arcane United States immigration system, return to their home country, involuntarily or by self-deportation. But that result should occur through a more orderly and humane policy than currently in place. Philadelphia, September 17, 1787: "Well, Dr. Franklin, what do we have?" "A republic, if you can keep it." With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike, It is so ORDERED.

Federal judge has ordered the release of Liam Ramos (the bunny hat boy) and his father. A brief and rather remarkable order. Clearly written to be shared widely, so please do. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

@mattyglesias.bsky.social sure, people just need to cut down on their Doordash orders and they'll be able to buy that $2 million, 1,500sf starter home. And afford the extra $800/month increase in their health insurance.
Sarah Lawrence kids shouting down Ezra Klein.
Because when you're facing a fascist takeover, shouting down a liberal at a college talk is definitely the way.
ICE and CBP agents seem to enjoy gratuitously breaking glass—from car windows to store fronts to homes. It’s an expression of unchecked power and dominance: “We’re in charge. We break and shatter what we want.”
And nights of broken glass have been a harbinger of worse to come.
You have got to be fucking kidding me
"In theater" is a military term that refers to a wartime theater of operations. ICE and CBP agents are in Minnesota, which is one of the United States. The enemy in this military operation are citizens of Minnesotans and the United States.
Fucking brilliant
DHS has suspended Greg Bovino’s access to his social media accounts. Now, if he wishes to tell lies with impunity or denigrate Americans based on ethnicity, religion, and political affiliation without significant contradiction, he will be limited to American mainstream media.
We can confirm Alex Pretti was a nurse at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center. As President Trump has said, nobody wants to see chaos and death in American cities, and we send our condolences to the Pretti family. Such tragedies are unfortunately happening in Minnesota because of state and local officials’ refusal to cooperate with the federal government to enforce the law and deport dangerous illegal criminals.
Absolutely shameful to throw your employee under the bus when they’re murdered, but that’s what happens when you’re in the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the world
Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics
