Trump's tariffs are bad news for the bicycle industry. Some fairly (possibly overly) calm analysis from René Herse. The tl;dr: worst for high-end parts and small-scale boutique products made in America. www.renehersecycles.com/bikes-in-the...

I’ve been planning cities & working with city halls all over the world for 33+ years, and I’ve observed and experienced a lot of things. And one thing I think is still underestimated— the culture of boldness or business-as-usual set by the city manager/ceo is incredibly important for your city hall.

NEW: GlobalX flight attendants were told they would fly rock bands, sports teams and sun-seekers. Then the company started expanding into deportation flights. “They didn’t tell us these people were going to be shackled, wrists to fucking ankles.”

The government’s statement is a flex, not a confession of error. The important elements of the flex are these: 1. We send enemies to brutal foreign labor camps. 2. We decide who enemies are. 3. We may decide you are an enemy based on a secret informant, or our view of your tattoos. /1

If judges restrict the government's power to seize people off the street and hand them over to a Central American dictator without verifying their identities, I'm going to become an even bigger Libertarian.

The GOP fought tooth & nail for decades against classifying acts of racial terrorism as federal hate crimes because they saw it as "federal over reach." Now they're all "ooh, let's make it a federal crime to vandalize cars built by the world's richest man who's also our biggest campaign donor."

Inevitably what'll happen, soon, is video will appear of masked plainclothes white men yanking a woman off the street into a van, and then ICE or CBP will go "no, actually that wasn't us" And no one will be able to figure out whether they're lying, or ever see her again.

"we are abolishing refugee and asylum claims, and doing our best to abolish legal immigration, except for Afrikaner farmers alleging discrimination" is so impossibly on the nose that it's hard to believe it's real even once you've set your expectations to what you thought was as low as possible.

“Entire neighborhoods were conquered” is the kind of thing the crazy guy on the street corner says. It’s divorced from reality. Yet there are millions of people who legitimately believe it and panic at the idea of going into a city because they think Tren de Aragua is lurking around every corner.

Local police leaders have feared the erosion of public trust as a result of the Trump administration's immigration enforcement efforts. Many officials say they're seeing signs that's happening.

I just got off the phone with a distraught suburban school staff member because they can’t find one of their students. The last number the student called his family from was border patrol. That was several days ago. They took a high school kid & they have no idea where he is.

🚨 NIH sent out another data call, this time for projects "related to any form of censorship at all or directing people to believe one idea over another related to health outcomes… e,g., any contracts to promote COVID vaccine uptake," I'm told. These data calls have recently preceded terminations.

Frengel Reyes Mota was supposed to be dealing with his ongoing asylum case as he fought for his chance to stay in the United States. Suddenly, he instead found himself locked up in a mega prison thousands of miles away.

#signalgate: the plan was a war crime (bomb apartment building to kill 1 guy) where they planned it was a federal crime (personal phones) the planning process was another crime (giving journalist classified info) the response is more crimes (lying to congress) It's crimes all the way down

In just two months, the Trump administration has committed: • violations of the Constitution and other US law (impoundment, due process, national security information) • war crimes (excessive civilian harm in Yemen) and • crimes against humanity (disappearance and mass imprisonment of migrants).

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

The Trump administration wants to deport a junior at Columbia University who has been a legal permanent resident in the US for over a decade simply because she participated in anti-genocide protests. Free speech is dead.
