Under pressure from immigrants' rights advocates, San Francisco quit a sensitive data-sharing program with ICE. But neighboring Alameda County, home to Oakland and Berkeley, remains in the program and is still feeding information to federal authorities. boltsmag.org/alameda...

Another big FU from Harvard… free online courses on the US government, the US constitution, civic engagement, and more. pll.harvard.edu/subject/gove...

In short, authoritarianism. "If you do not hold the line at the crucial moment when you are strongest, you will only get weaker over time".

It's official: Judge Mizelle has invited amicus briefs on my motion to dismiss. @aclu.org! @eff.org! We'd love your input. Everyone else: if you know someone or an organization working on civil liberties, electronic freedom, privacy issues, and so on—please forward this info to them.

@derekberes.bsky.social Trump Jr and Thiel among backers… www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/m...

Good. More places should follow.

It’s official. I will be introducing a Bill for an independent public inquiry into the UK’s involvement in Israel’s assault on Gaza. The government must decide: will it support this inquiry, or will it block our efforts to establish the truth?

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

Holding Israel accountable is not support for Hamas it’s support for humanity and the rule of law. Without it, we are not a civilization but a collection of beasts walking upright.

Trump administration working on plan to forcibly transfer one million Palestinians from Gaza to Libya www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

I don't know what this means, but I'm the one who wrote a fully updated, 624-page hurricane response plan at FEMA that took over 2 years of work and careful coordination among state and federal agencies. He could start by studying that.

Sarwar has zero principles like his boss. An embarrassment of a politician. To think Labour had a resurgence across Scotland less than 12 months ago. The job is to ensure those voters don't now go to the fascist party. That should be everyone's priority. Everyone has their part to play.

Late Tuesday, Hungary's ruling Fidesz party introduced a bill titled "On transparency in the public sphere," aiming to restrict NGOs and media outlets receiving foreign funding. telex.hu/english/2025...

The GOP’s “big beautiful bill” includes a clause giving Donald Trump the ability to revoke the tax-exempt status of any group the Treasury Department says is a terrorism supporter. The bill is in the reconciliation process, meaning it only requires a simple majority in the House and Senate to pass.

Is Britain breaking international law over Israel to avoid offending Trump? We may find out in court this week www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Either I am having some sort of fever dream or the Saudis are ushering in Trump to the theme from the West Wing. Or maybe both?

This hero shut ICE down without raising a finger. At a Miami traffic stop, he refused to let ICE interrogate his passengers—despite threats. Cool, calm, and legally untouchable. THIS is how you resist fascism. I wish I knew his name so I could thank him publicly. VC: @floridafoos IG #OnYourSide

This is chilling.

Tom Homan, Acting Director of ICE, implied last week that he would begin arresting mayors and governors who do not cooperate with their unconstitutional ICE plans. They just arrested Ras Baraka, Newark's Mayor. This cannot stand. This is a direct threat to any possibility of democracy.

The Library of Congress is a research library. The Congressional Research Service researches for Congress. Scholars & researchers apply for passes to research. NO children’s section. Even the general public has very limited access.

Someone should ask Miller which article of the Constitution the Suspension Clause is located

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL ... ... ... * sobs uncontrollably *

Russia is messing with the West. Ships' AIS signals in the Baltic are being messed with so that all these tankers aren't in fact at anchor in Russian waters or calling at Ust Luga or Primorsk, but on land, on the Beryozovye islands..... just another way to make tracking harder

Actually, there is a law that would cover almost all of what is happening. It’s called RICO. Feel free to ask me (or anyone else who also specializes in white collar crime) about it anytime.

She who knows exactly what tv shows and movies Trump is watching, controls the world.

El Salvador's President Bukele is reportedly preparing to arrest the journalists who have reported on the secret deals Bukele struck with Salvadoran gangs that have enabled his consolidation of power.

I wrote the essay of the week for @theguardian.com on, well, guess. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

All, if you've had your federally-funded research disrupted due to the admin's chaos, consider this funding opportunity from Robert Wood Johnson: Rapid Response Research Rapid Response Research awards are exclusively available to applicants who have already received federal funding... 🧪🧵

Hearing the Gaza flotilla ship Conscience was under information blackout, however I'm seeing on @MarineTraffic it has a track history from when it left Tunisia through current (5 minutes ago). This at least opens up the possibility that anyone using an app could have tracked it.

Breaking News: Germany classified the right-wing Alternative for Germany party as an extremist group, giving intelligence officials more tools to monitor it.

Thank you Greyhound!

Cop City is officially "opening" today. The movement against it carries so many lessons for people everywhere, because the issues are everywhere today: the un-democratic militarization and expansion of policing and state violence, backed by dark money private funding.

Big winds in Israel have fanned flames in a forest and endangered homes. These are the same winds that passed through Gaza. Cruelty of this war on Palestinians knows no limits.

Amazing stuff... and that tell at the end. "why dont you just say 'yes' and move on." Essentially, "just let me lie like you are paid to."
