Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.
I did it because the government isn’t.
This is what I found.

An 84-year-old said she sustained a concussion and was hit with a projectile after she and her husband, a Vietnam vet, were knocked down by federal officers.
It's bizarre but unsurprising to see so many people waiting with bated breath to see what Ghislaine Maxwell will say to get a pardon whilst ignoring the testimonies of the many women she exploited in a massive sex trafficking operation linked to Trump.

DOJ was broken before Trump got in. It is, in fact, *how* Trump got in: DOJ started investigating him in 1973 but refused to prosecute, instead maintaining a decades-long corrupt collaboration. Beware any podcaster/pundit/pol who told you to trust DOJ over the past decade. That was a propaganda op.
WTF!
I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

RFK Jr. ordered the NIH’s Integrated Research Facility in Frederick to stop all research on serious infectious diseases yesterday at 5:00 PM.
They study pathogens like Ebola there. You may be familiar with it from The Hot Zone.

NEW: The Trump administration is quietly putting America’s children at risk by cutting funds and manpower for investigating child abuse, enforcing child support payments, providing child care and much more.
Remember that MSNBC interview where they asked North Carolina farmers some hard questions about Trump's trade wars?
As a North Carolina farmer, I'd like to set the record straight.
Call me next time MSNBC! I'll hook you up with some quality farmer interviews!

Bone chilling.
A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States.
The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.
1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.
Trump got caught on a hot mic saying he wants to deport U.S. citizens—insinuating to El Salvador’s president he intends to send “homegrown criminals” there.
Let’s be clear: He’s talking about Americans.
This isn’t tough talk. It’s dictator talk. He’d burn the Constitution if it got in his way.
One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse
Next rally April 19th! If everyone from the Hands Off rally brings a friend, we can get Raleigh to 20k people!
Stop platforming fascists. You should know better by now after what the Times did in the 30s.

If the US government requires passports for you to practice your rights such as voting then passports should be provided for free to all and within a reasonable timeframe by said government.

This is what happens when you’re willing to risk it all over ending pronouns and Black history. Hope those cultural wars pay the bills.
Erez Reuveni argued on behalf of the Justice Department during Friday’s hearing in the Abrego Garcia case.
Reuveni has reportedly been placed on leave.
Here’s one exchange with the judge that may have contributed to his ouster:
What do the Republicans and the oligarchs fear most? Solidarity between poor rural whites and Black urban folks.
They have always feared it. It’s time to come together, friends. Our futures are bound up together.
The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people.
We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.
By "dangerous" he means "icky poor people are there." No one is fooled by this.
When newly vaxed were declaring "I got Pfizer" "I'm Moderna" "I got Johnson & Johnson," I was begging and pleading to repeat "I got NIH!" People have no clue what government is, what research does, how it's life & death, making it so much easier to destroy.
