Me: *tries to snap a cute picture* My cat

Look I had a semi-popular substack for a long time but every person cannot be a newspaper. We need outlets that can invest and lay out long-term plans

This is incredibly grim and had me absolutely rapt from start to finish

I appreciate that Michael Blake decided that his job was to just launch himself at Andrew Cuomo

BREAKING: Chief Judge James Boasberg finds that those people sent to CECOT under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15-16 had their due process rights violates and certifies them as a class. He orders that the government "facilitate" the ability for them to seek habeas relief.

More arrests, woman who has been waiting for hours' husband is taken, she is here with their young child, who tries to chase after her dad as he's loaded into the SUV.

Some people are already saying “sure it might be illegal but are we really going to defend the family of a terrorist” and it’s like, yeah, even if they were trying to deport just him illegally, that’s still bad. Edge cases with unsympathetic characters are used to erode *everyone’s* rights

It should be slam dunk messaging for Dems that the Trump administration has made it the best time in generations to engage in child sexual exploitation, counterfeiting, heavy-duty drug trafficking, and all manner of federal crimes that have been deemphasized in favor of arresting random line cooks

I just fundamentally don’t understand the pitch here. Like, Delgado seems like a smart and capable guy and had some highlights as a politician but on what grounds exactly is he going up against the governor that picked him after a few years in a ceremonial role?

None of this really gets through to the general public, whose attitude to the government trying to break the back of civil society and academia is often a shrug, but this is one more in the pantheon of efforts to destroy any capacity to push back on the regime

Alright film photo friends, important question: through a series of circumstances, I have found myself in possession of 4x5 sheets and 120 short rolls of Aerochrome. Yes, *that* Aerochrome. Obviously, this is irreplaceable, so the question is, what do I shoot with it? What’s worth it?

I'm sorry but these can't be definitions of the same word. These mean essentially opposite things!

One of the more surreal moments I’ve had with this is a student *who I had asked to explain why they were asking for an extension* responding with an email that began “Dear [insert professor name].” To basically ask for lenience in an email that would have taken two minutes to write

Look I know it’s weird and the film is not very technically advanced but I love lomochrome purple and it looks great in 6x7

Expanded a bit on this in this article; seems that agents are often either in noncompliance with the flight risk requirement for warrantless arrests, or the need to serve warrants in warranted arrests (and they’ve been caught filling out blank warrants *after* an arrest)

Expect the administration to begin publicly justifying detentions and deportations by pointing out when people didn’t show up to court. “They had a chance to go to court and disappeared instead! Their claims are frivolous!” Even if people miss court because they could well be arrested there

So let me get this straight, in the span of two days, federal agents blocked a reporter from accessing public immigration courts, barged into a congressman’s office and arrested a staff member for trying to block them, and raided a restaurant in military gear, tossing flashbangs, to arrest workers?

A lot of folks have seen the videos: masked agents approach a person or a vehicle, don’t show identification or warrants, refuse to answer questions, bust windows. For @newrepublic.com, I tried to answer the question of whether this is all strictly legal, and the broader one of how much that matters

Yet another example of how well-meaning liberals and "public safety" moderates embrace surveillance technologies at their own peril. The license plate readers that a bunch of cities set up to "fight crime" and prevent car thefts are being used to track immigrants and look for folks getting abortions

I think everyone worried about mass deportation really needs to take seriously that 287g agreements will become the norm, not the exception. www.azfamily.com/video/2025/0...

I took my students to Varick St a couple months ago. I would think twice about that field trip now, as I would fear for my students’ safety

This effectively makes it impossible to comply with the law. Attend your hearings as ordered and you will be arrested. Don’t attend and you will be ordered deported in absentia and lose any chance of obtaining status

I’m in @newrepublic.com trying to answer some basic questions that a lot of folks have had about at-large immigration arrests: can agents be masked? Must they show warrants? Is any of this legal? I do my best to explain

Shot a little bit of Lomochrome turquoise. Very other-worldly feel. Don't know that I like it as much as the less-aggressive Lomo purple, but it's a vibe for sure (my assessment of both is similar: technically terrible film with high grain and low latitude, and also boy do I enjoy it.)

This shit sucks, but I will also say that every time an outlet is like “ok then maybe can you pay us for our content so we don’t have to be ad mills” people want the death penalty
