Immigrants were detained not because they broke the law, but because they were easy to “target.”

The DOJ is telling judges how to judge.

SEIU California President David Huerta Injured, Detained at ICE
Raid in Los Angeles
Los Angeles - David Huerta, President of SEIU California and SEIU- United Service Workers West was injured and detained at an ICE raid in Los Angeles today while exercising his First Amendment right to observe and document law enforcement activity.
Tia Orr, Executive Director of SEIU California, made the following statement:
"SEIU California members call for the immediate release of our President, David Huerta, who was injured and detained at the site of one of today's ICE raids in Los Angeles. He is now receiving medical attention while in custody.
"We are proud of President Huerta's righteous participation as a community observer, in keeping with his long history of advocating for immigrant workers and with the highest values of our movement: standing up to injustice, regardless of personal risk or the power of those perpetrating it.
"We call for an end to the cruel, destructive, and indiscriminate ICE raids that are tearing apart our communities, disrupting our economy, and hurting all working people. Immigrant workers are essential to our society: feeding our nation, caring for our elders, cleaning our workplaces, and building our homes."

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year.

Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

Rather than use life-saving vaccines, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is encouraging parents to throw “measles parties” for children to infect them amid deadly outbreaks.

I've got a problem. A guy hires me to edit scripts. He's rude, ignorant, slow to learn better writing habits, and a bigot. I find all this out and I walk. He still follows me like a puppy, asking me to come back, no apologies. Do I confront him? Block him? Learn to cast hexes?

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.
You know what to do.

On those new Trump tariffs: I don't think people realize how narrow they are. They're ugly and stupid, but also arguably an attempt to save face after he lost his nerve on broad tariffs

U.S. intelligence, law enforcement candidates face Trump loyalty test Candidates for top intelligence and law enforcement jobs were asked to give “yes” or “no” responses to questions such as: Was Jan. 6 “an inside job?”

HERE is The Washington Post report on the most under covered development yet: bid merely Trump loyalty tests but tests to prove you will lie for him in order to get a job at FBI/ DOJ. It's already slid off their front page. Or been pushed. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

I'm not going to say I've been obsessing about "Blade Runner" ever since I got Free League's tabletop roleplaying game. But waking up from an endoscopy last week, my first words were, "Buh...Blade... Runner. B-49171." A nonplayer character's badge number. #bladerunner #freeleaguepublishing #ttrpg

Trump’s anti-trans Executive Order is bad BUT it technically defines everyone as female. It states:

“'Female' means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell."

Since all fetuses "at conception" are female, Trump just defined EVERYONE as female.

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.
