As I just flagged, this has been replaced with something which is arguably worse; requiring that basically every plaintiff seeking a preliminary injunction against the federal government pay millions or billions of dollars in "security" to pay for "costs" to the federal government if they later win.

📢 Protest Advice - Tear Gas 🪧 If you are protesting tomorrow - this video has great advice for preparing for and responding to tear gas. No makeup, contacts, etc. If you live near a protest site - consider placing buckets of clean water outside your home so protestors have easy access. 🪣

ICE pretended to arrest a 21 yo in order to force her to call her undocumented mother to come leave the house (where she was safe from ICE arrest) to care for her baby. When the mother came, she was abducted and the daughter was suddenly of no interest to ICE. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Trump, talking at Fort Bragg right now about Los Angeles, is doing something I'm not sure I've ever seen a president do: he's actively maligning people in Los Angeles — an American city — in front of U.S. troops. And the troops are applauding. As an Army brat myself, this strikes me as very new.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

LAPD shot woman in the head with a rubber bullet, refuse to get them help and tell them it’s their fault. “If they hadn’t been there it wouldn’t have happened.” HARD STOP This is on ICE. If ICE wasn’t terrorizing the country and deporting people with no due process this would not have happened.

It is completely unlawful for ICE to turn away members of Congress like this. The law could not be more clear; no member of Congress may be denied access to a facility where ICE is detaining someone, and they cannot be required to schedule in advance. Surprise inspections must be surprise.

Great thread--read the whole thing. Commercially-produced AI is almost entirely a plague on education: it does almost nothing useful and is playing a big role in sabotaging the development of the expertise and knowledge required for the few modestly helpful applications of generative AI.
