Do I Have the Right to Film ICE? Despite government attacks against protesters and the press, documenting interactions with law enforcement and federal agents is protected by the First Amendment. Here’s what you need to know.

Yes.

ICE agents don't get to carve out a First Amendment exception for themselves.

Infinite grace for Elon Musk’s Nazi salute, and Mamdani gets condemned for having dinner

Increasingly of the opinion that the correct answer to the Trolley Problem is "fuck you, why are you so fixated on finding reasons to justify killing people?"

Why now is the time to be loudly anti-war We don't need the clarity of hindsight to know war in Iran—or anywhere—will end in physical, moral and financial ruin.

New — My case for why it’s not enough to call this “Trump’s war” when violence abroad implicates us all, and how we don’t need hindsight to know that unequivocally opposing this war will be the correct (and only morally defensible) choice:

It's *supposed* to be quite difficult. But apparently the US stopped paying attention to the Constitution a while back.

boy in retrospect, really shouldn’t have elected the worst person in the entire country president. that, it appears, was less than wise

Tennessee Wants to Let Schools Ban Immigrant Kids, Threatening to “End Public Education as We Know It” A Tennessee bill would take the right to education away from undocumented children. The Heritage Foundation is pushing it in other states.

Literally everything the Heritage Foundation suggests is nauseating

“The state’s proposed “trigger laws,” …are direct challenges to Plyler v. Doe, a narrowly decided 1982 Supreme Court case that enshrined the right to a free K–12 public education regardless of immigration status.”

maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living

Strongly suspect that as this war and its negative effects escalate, we're gonna see a massive increase in disinfo and unsourced "news" - starting right the hell now.

PLEASE don't share "breaking" news from rando or disreputable accounts who provide no links.

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

MPD body cam footage from DOGE raid on US Institute of Peace RECEIVED 😎

I'll be watching and sharing news and takeaways in the coming days. Stay tuned!

We also get great internet and nothing useful from pretending that the tiny percentage of voters who went Green, PSL, or freestyle with Cornell West made this mess.

Mentioning real evil done by recent Democratic administrations to create false equivalence between lesser-of-two-evil voters and MAGA voters makes for great internet, but is otherwise useless.

For the love of god, please learn to express disagreement on this app without talking like an absolute piece of shit who can’t understand that the person on the other end is a thinking, feeling human too

There’s no way the city that made a statue for a pretend white heavyweight champ while ignoring the real Black heavyweight champ the city produced would do that!

Yeah. We'd just Move on.

Pearline is serious.

the absolute best you can do in defense of this guy is to claim that he has no idea what's going on in this country and no desire to change that. as political pitches go there are better ones

so well deserved.

Michael B. Jordan wins Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture at the 57th #NAACPImageAwards.

He dedicated his win to the late, Chadwick Boseman.

"A lie—no matter how powerful the person is—is still a lie. And the truth—no matter how small the person is—is still the truth.”

Give Ryan Coogler all the things.

shit 😍

Anywho, there's no better time than now to put your ideas out there and invite other people to do things with you. Might as well try. You don't have to know everything before starting. You can just start.

Strongly suspect this is entirely up for grabs. Whichever candidate you support, I suggest you get out and vote on Tuesday, friends in Texas. It'll make a difference.

White text: "Over 4,400. The number of times federal courts have found that ICE illegally detained people since October 2025." Red ACLU logo. Tinted red photo of immigration and law enforcement in helmets.

A report by Reuters found that courts ruled ICE illegally jailed people more than 4,400 times. The Trump administration's unlawful, anti-immigrant rampage must be checked.

Tell Congress at aclu.org/stop_ice_attacks- to hold the line and rein in ICE's abuses now.

I've seen enough. Clearly this experiment is working. It is time for a Michael C. Jordan.

lol Alex I’ll take “Hell Nah” for 800 please

How long do electric vehicle batteries actually last? When the modern electric vehicle was still in its infancy, drivers worried that vehicles would need expensive battery replacements within a few years. But battery lifespans are exceeding expectations.
