UPDATE: “The man who impersonated ICE to intimidate the employees of a Philly auto repair center — and steal about $1,000 — will face numerous felony and misdemeanor charges…”: www.phillyvoice.com/philly-robbe... Fake ICE agents were inevitable. How can cities be proactive about this?

really great that an Iranian terrorist cell can simply order vests from amazon, dress up like masked ICE agents and walk into any building in the country to plant a bomb… and nobody would stop them. really great.

When MTG is a voice of reason.. we are doomed

Yeah that is so strange...

This is worth 3 minutes of your time. No one wants to eat at a restaurant that only serves bland chicken. (It’s not about chicken, or restaurants, tho)

Covertly? They literally put a satellite dish on top of the White House. One of the staffers was almost shot because he tripped an alarm. This is from March.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

The Trump administration is mobilizing 20,000 National Guard troops—not to defend against a foreign adversary, but to storm into immigrant communities, rip families apart, and flood detention centers with human lives like they’re processing cattle.

Women are more likely than ever to go to prison for miscarrying. But they gotta find more and more ways to cage up humans for profit.

It would be very simple to pose as ICE to kidnap people in broad daylight. They could even pretend to be ICE the whole time, but offering them a chance to bribe their way out of detention. Perhaps this is already happening.

9/11 First Responders: “The Secretary (RFK JR) is uniquely unqualified… This is 20 years of bullshit… nobody apologized after 9/11 — instead we created the World Trade Center Health program. And then to gut it? You took your own apology away from us… Kennedy is an id*ot.”

For everyone who was like “Google search is getting worse,” we were absolutely right.

🟡 SCOOP: Executives at Paramount decided to delay and significantly alter a Daily Show-branded civic participation initiative, out of fear that the Trump administration could use it as a cudgel in blocking a pending acquisition deal. www.semafor.com/article/05/0...

I wonder if RFK Jr will finally ban dihydrogen monoxide - one of the most deadly chemicals on earth.

SB 2880 out of Texas has the goal to wipe information about abortion pills from the internet. It is carefully designed to scare people into silence and will chill free speech.

virtually every other publication could learn a thing or two from @404media.co on linking back to other publications. not only is this extremely useful context to catch people up on a story, it shares credit and goodwill. this is exactly what this should look like www.404media.co/this-is-pala...

This!! 👇👇

If TX passes SB 2880, the bill would make it illegal to “provide information” on how to obtain an abortion-inducing drug. Texas legislators not only want to make sure no one can start a discussion on abortion pills, they also want to make sure no one can find one.

I really really want to stress that novovax is the covid vaccine preferred by a lot of people in the disability advocacy space. Disability advocates have pushed hard to maintain access for this vaccine that's not as well known as Moderna or Pfizer, but is better tolerated by a lot of people

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows: An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

Sure, Let’s keep gutting the safety agencies like FDA and OSHA.. companies will be safe on their own without any oversight!

This is Senator Jim Banks from Indiana. No need to tell you he’s a Republican—it’s clear by the cruel disdain he shows his own constituent who was laid off. Note: he waits until the door’s about to close before telling him he deserved it & calling him a “clown.” He’s not just cruel—he’s a coward.

This OPSEC Special Bulletin went out to the Pentagon during the same time period that SECDEF was using an unauthorized Signal chat. You can’t make this shit up.

Signal's a great app to keep your communications secure, but make sure you know the identities of the users in your group chats. Our SSD guide on how to use Signal includes guidance on managing your group chat preferences.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
