So the State Department is forcing everyone to immediately leave the region but is also refusing to help people leave the region.

The strike itself is illegal and disastrous but their lack of readiness for what comes next is unforgivable as well.

Incompetence everywhere.

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."

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

Plans for proposed ICE facility in Merrimack, N.H., won’t move forward, governor says - The Boston Globe β€œWe can breathe easy again,” said the chair of the Merrimack Town Council, which had opposed the warehouse.

β€œToday, the people of Merrimack and all of New Hampshire proved that organized, local voices are more powerful than a federal agency’s ruthless expansion,” she said. β€œThis is a victory for us and all of New England but it is not the end of the fight.”

Susan Rice is right. Now Netflix must choose. The institutions and individuals who betrayed democratic principles will bear that mark of shame well into the future.

Susan Rice saw this moment coming. She described it plainly, and she was right.

Now, Netflix must decide which side of history it wants to be on.

The right choice is obvious. The only question is whether Netflix has the courage to make it. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...

Kristi Noem lied about an immigrant being a cannibal.

Of course it was all made up nonsense. Normal people didn’t believe it, just like we didn’t believe Haitians were eating pets.

This is part of dehumanization of immigrants playbook. Fear and hate is the point.

The SAVE Act is Christian Nationalism in Action Gendered Burdens and the Right to Vote

New from @pamherd.bsky.social at Can We Still Govern?:
The SAVE Act is a truly extreme voter suppression bill, but in ways that might surprise you. White Christian Nationalism is driving the bill more than a cynical focus on maximizing GOP vote share. 🧡
