The @housedemocrats.bsky.social betrayed DC today: - 30 of them voted to take away the local DC government's ability to discipline DC police officers - 56 of them voted to strip non citizens in DC of their right to vote in local elections Don't ever let them tell you they are a pro-democracy party.

ICE operations at immigration courts intensified today. Brief 🧵on what's happening: - A person facing removal shows up for a hearing. - At the hearing, ICE unexpectedly asks the immigration judge to dismiss the case without prejudice. - If the judge says yes, the hearing ends, court is over. 1/4

One morning, sitting in an immigration office in Memphis, Kasper Eriksen found himself transformed. A day before, he was a welding foreman, a husband and father of four. Now, he was a detainee, bound and shackled in a detention shuttle in Tennessee. www.mississippifreepress.org/ice-arrests-...

As a volunteer Water Quality Monitor (see my pfp), I feel obligated to say that no one should swim or really come into contact with water from Rock Creek. Doesn't mean you can't have fun near it, or that it's irreparably polluted (we can clean it up!) but for now: recreate responsibly!

Would be nice if all those loud voices calling to “unsuck [sic] Metro” would now take a stand for DC’s premier public transportation system. Because this budget hole will (re)suck it!

The fact that it’s Little Marco reveling in authoritarian surveillance makes me think of Louis Pérez Jr’s response when Amy Goodman asked him about US media characterizations of Fidel Castro as an authoritarian dictator. Worth revisiting: www.democracynow.org/2016/11/28/a...

It hurts to read this--so much important, interesting and innovative work happening at RRCHNM brought to a halt. I feel privileged to have worked alongside the scholars who animated and invested time in these projects.
