Taking Amtrak from Northern Nevada to Grand Junction for the kiddo’s spring break (visiting family). I booked a roomette. It’s our first “real” train experience.

Any tips or pointers?

Had the loveliest dream that I was at a library.

I don’t think it’s irrational. We should all be angry about AI

TY

I have no grace for that shit.

Hi Idaho. Did you know that assault is already illegal? Did you know that assault in a public restroom is already illegal? Did you know it's illegal regardless of the genders of the people involved? Did you know that trans folks suffer higher rates of assault than the rest of us? 🧵

One year later: Mahmoud Khalil remains in limbo but ready to fight The case of Khalil, who was detained last March, sits at the vanguard of a battle of immigrants' due process and civil rights, and the Trump administration's mass detention and deportation policies.

Mahmoud Khalil helped his wife pick out baby names while in immigration detention. Now, he hesitates to walk with his son alone. A year after being detained, this green card holders' legal battles continue to roil.

Immigration detention on track for deadliest fiscal year since 2004 Twenty-three people have died since October in ICE custody, as advocates warn about overcrowding and health care access.

NEW: 23 people have died in ICE custody this fiscal year, already surpassing the number of deaths of last fiscal year.

DHS did not respond to our questions about the tally but they did respond to GA Senator questions about detention conditions. Latest: www.npr.org/2026/03/10/g...

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

Many outlets have written about CPCs over the years, but surprisingly few people understand what they are, even those who are well-informed about the political landscape around reproductive care.

Seized Art, Eavesdropping Guards: Parents Describe a Clampdown at Dilley Detention Center as Kids Shared Their Stories Detainees told ProPublica that art supplies have been removed in room searches, immigrants have lost access to Gmail and staff hover within earshot during video calls.

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

Hello! I’m the reporter who has been tracking citizens detained by immigration agents. And last night, I noticed something: A lot of them were at the State of the Union, including a number of whom I’ve written about.

Their stories should be known:

This guy is deranged and dangerous. A plight on our community.

U.S. has a quarter fewer immigration judges than it did a year ago. Here's why The continued drain of personnel from the already strained immigration court system has contributed to depleted staff morale, mounting case backlogs — and floundering due process.

Immigration courts by the #’s:
- 25% less judges
- 400 less legal assistants + clerks
- 12 courts lost over half their judges, two have no full time IJs
- supervisors spread across several locations

This feels like it happened y e a r s ago. 😣

How extremists reconquered Idaho in the age of Trump—and how some locals are fighting back “Who the fuck are these men?”

The suit decimated the Aryan Nations, and for a time, residents felt like things had calmed down—until Trump’s first term.

What Israel does so often w/ the organs of Palestinians is so unbelievably crazy that you sound insane just repeating it. It’s actually quite the cover for bad acts, make them so horrific nobody can believe they’re even possible. This teacher got fired for repeating what Palestinian doctors say...

I think Pam Bondi crashed the stock market.

A 14-year-old girl described being zip-tied during Idaho raid, sparking fresh questions about ICE tactics A 14-year-old girl said she was "crying" and "struggling to breathe" when law enforcement officers herded her onto a racetrack with other detainees and zip-tied her hands.

The interview w/Idaho sheriff involved in the raid (who I covered OFTEN years ago) is striking. He disputes zip-tied kids until shown pic of 14YO girl (same pic that made FBI backtrack months ago)
