WOW. Rep. @jayapal.house.gov says CBP's internal affairs department found that a Chinese woman who had overstayed a visa was arrested by Border Patrol and hung herself in a cell. She wasn't found for two hours—even though the records reported multiple welfare checks (suggesting records falsified?).

J.D. Vance says Denmark is uninvesting in Greenland and, therefore, the U.S. should take over. I'm sorry but didn't Republicans in Congress just uninvest in Washington, DC? Denmark has a chance to do the coolest thing right now.

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired. It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

The Palestinian Genocide under Biden was a test run to see what international and US national sentiment would permit a state to do to its citizens. If you didn’t criticize the Palestinian Genocide, you screwed up. But you’re still welcome to resist US fascism now.

The way it works is that you strip fundamental rights from targets with less political support that people will turn their consciences off to justify persecuting and then eventually the state can do it to anyone, that’s always been the plan bsky.app/profile/pbum...

Many of you have asked what you can do to help fight the country's dramatic slide into fascism. If you are in house counsel, here is one important thing: send all your work to Covington, Perkins Coie, and other firms willing to resist Trump and that have been made targets for that reason.
