🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location. ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her. This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.

A nice reminder of the immense power contained in saying “no.” When people refuse to comply, it raises the costs ($$$, political, social, etc) of enforcing authoritarianism. They very well might try anyway, but every person that says “no” is another point of friction. www.npr.org/2025/06/28/n...

Some of the text isn't even final, just placeholders. Republicans are trying to smash this through to keep people from finding out what they're doing -- taking away Medicaid and SNAP in order to give massive tax cuts to the rich. They're killing us to line the bottom of a billionaire's 4th yacht.

ICE is now changing tactics and arresting people who have been granted asylum hearings. This is both a violation of US & international law that demands immediate attention from all New York elected officials & underscores the urgent need for legal service providers to be at all of these cases.

Trump’s FAA pick has long falsely claimed he has a “commercial” pilot license that he doesn’t actually have. Bryan Bedford, the nominee to head the Federal Aviation Administration, for years lied in his Republic Airways bio by stating that he is a pilot with a “commercial” rating.

Seven partners at Willkie Farr & Gallagher — a prominent law firm that cut a deal with President Trump to avoid a potentially punishing executive order — announced that they were departing to join a firm that helped successfully challenge one of Trump’s orders in court.

I should add, the two lead partners who left Willkie for Cooley, Simona Agnolucci and Ben Hur, are powerhouses who built Willkie's 50-person SF office. They represent major tech companies so this is a big loss for Willkie and gain for Cooley (Cooley represents Jenner & Block in their case v Trump).
