Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."
This is a disingenuous post. Shame on you.
STOP THE SAVE ACT (Updated)
My new piece is up with lots of info about the SAVE America Act - the version of the SAVE Act that passed the House and is before the Senate this week. This is a MUST READ and then ACT.

"As the journalists interacted with the migrants, uniformed police barged in and detained the lawyer and four journalists. Police confiscated their cameras, laptops and phones..."

"ICE agents are the equivalent of cartel hitmen" is a wild take, but Mike Lee is here for it.
By the time he’s done, I’ll bet that at least a quarter of the national debt will just be money he stole.
Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."
Todd Lyons, the head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, defended his agency’s officers before Congress on Tuesday, standing behind their tactics and saying they would not be intimidated as they carry out the president’s mass deportation agenda.
When you get visited by three Puerto Rican ghosts
Therein lies the problem. ICE is terrorizing Los Angeles, and local police are choosing not to enforce the law banning masked federal agents.
This is how trust collapses.
Yes, Rep. Everyone knows I'm trans.
Now what about the policy? Are we going to work together to bring accountability to those empowered to use force on our neighbors, or not?
Verge headline: The rise of the slopagandist by Mia Sato Photo: Nick Shirley's head pasted onto an old timey newspaper boy's body. He's also holding a selfie stick with a phone attached
Nick Shirley and others like him are reminiscent of yellow journalism of the 19th century, updated and turbocharged by social media algorithms.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."
“If you raise your voice I’ll erase your voice” said an ice agent.
Insane
“If you raise your voice, I’ll erase your voice.”

Dear Mr. Smith,
I’m going to ask you a bunch of nonsensical questions, but you are not allowed to answer any of them because I’m going to keep answering them myself with lies.
Not so sincerely,
Crazy lady Representative
Jack Smith: "The people who assaulted police officers and were convicted after trial in my view and I think in the view of the judges who sentenced them to prison are dangerous to their community. Some of these people have already committed crimes against their communities again."
It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by.
Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

If this is true, it is the most impeachable offense ever.
