old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

Major update to this story, and something I'll continue reporting on through the weekend: 🚨 The new acting IRS commissioner has indicated she plans to comply with DHS's request for the addresses of 700,000 suspected undocumented immigrants. 🚨 www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

It's more than a little bizarre that the press was more vocal and judgmental about Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal than the current unscheduled rapid disassembly of our entire democracy and civil service.

Sometimes it feels like I’m going crazy, because there is something that is right in front of our faces, has been for years, and nobody of consequence ever says it: Donald Trump works for Vladimir Putin. How much more proof does anyone need? And what is anybody going to do about it?

Seems very likely the Musk/Trump regime could also try to use IRS data to get home addresses for dissidents, queer people, and other minorities.

One of the people who runs the shower side of the shower pop up my free clothes closet is at, Deeq, needs dental help. He is genuinely one of the best souls I know. He runs the kids' programming, does Somali translation, organizes the food shelf... And he needs community right now. 💕💸

There's a new style of podcast I really like. Each one is 4-6 min. Topics vary. Tons of soundesign, and the podcasters pronounce words really strange, at different pitches. There's like 8-12 eps per season, only they don't call it a season, I think it's called an ablum. Have you guys heard of this?

This book came out 8 (?!) years ago today. It's still a timely, relevant examination of American imperialism and the lives of the people in the U.S. territories/colonies. If anything, given the stated aims of the current POTUS, it's more relevant than ever. wwnorton.com/books/978039...

I've told this story many times but it was striking to visit Belarus in 2020. Fancy malls, chic bars, an Instagram-savvy taco truck, many aesthetic trappings of cool/modern/"normal"—AND a dictator, jailed dissidents, inequality, unease. These things coexist, even if most Americans don't realize it.

Undocumented immigrants with no other criminal record have been transferred to Guantanamo. Access to lawyers, denied. Their families kept in the dark. Why were they taken from the U.S. and moved to a prison designed for terrorists? Unclear. Evidence suggests it might be because of their tattoos.

NEW: The Trump administration has flown about 100 immigrants from El Paso to Guantanamo Bay. The Tribune and ProPublica spoke to the relatives of three of them, who say that they have been left entirely in the dark about their loved ones.

Not that anyone cares but a bunch of senior doj officials resigning over a corrupt instruction to drop a case was what triggered the Nixon impeachment, and in the Trump era it's just the 2pm scandal of a random Thursday and every day now has ~3 such scandals that would have ended any prior admin

Trump's creation of DOGE and appointment of Elon Musk to lead it is unconstitutional. It is unacceptable that Musk is using this unconstitutional appointment to try to cut the federal government to the bone. Today, I filed a lawsuit to shut this illegal power grab down.

Updated: In doing so, the civilian law enforcement role of immigration detention is being essentially militarized as the government embarks on a new, legally uncertain course of moving people it intends to deport from U.S. soil into incommunicado detention at an offshore prison.
