ICE agent points gun directly at the head of innocent civilian—just for taking picture of his license plate. He drew his gun with one hand—while fumbling to open the car door with the other. The "agent" did not seem to be aware someone else was already recording his vehicle. Pasadena, California.

This is a jaw-dropping lie. Check my feed for videos of ICE at Dodger Stadium trying to get into the parking lot and being blocked by the LAPD.

Yeah man. Think we have to dismantle an agency that's sending masked dudes in civvies to raid baseball teams. Absolutely lost their fucking minds to try to do shit like this.

A couple of years ago, a Trace reader asked for recommendations of books about the gun violence issue. We missed a few that should have been on that original list, and since then, even more books on the topic have come along. And so we decided it was time to update our roundup.

I’m sorry but the ICE deputy field director, who in this case is baselessly denying members of congress the ability to inspect detention facilities, is coming to work dressed like an alcoholic divorced dad at a fucking Jimmy Buffet concert? Am I getting that right?

you would like to think those who used to decry USAID as a perfidious weapon of American imperialism would at least have the basic decency to shut up about it now that it's been dismantled by fascists, an action which has objectively led to the deaths of many thousands, but sadly this isn't the case

At least as far as national guard goes I don’t think it matters what hegseth thinks? Authority returns to governors and they can send them back to barracks

Gonna level with you bro I think DHS needs to be dissolved after this. Regardless of what national security functions fall under its remit, it's clearly institutionally constructed in such a way allows it to be used as an unaccountable tool of executive power. Can't reform your way out of that.

I'm actually holding my one rep max deadlift in reserve since the implied threat to the other gymbros that I would hurt their self-esteem is actually more useful as a bargaining tool for getting first dibs on the deadlift platform than actually doing it.

This is a good piece and highlights something I've been saying w/r/t Minneapolis for years -- the Q isn't "how do we recruit enough cops?" but instead "how do we shape public safety now to meet needs?" And the answer is by thinking more about civilian + other 1st responder programs.

One of my favorite "social science reframes something you thought you knew (from other social science)" articles: Do you think rural areas are in population decline? WELL IT TURNS OUT that there are 2 types of rural areas, shrinking ones & growing ones, but we start calling the growing ones "urban"

Our first take on the Israel attack on Iran. Still a lot unclear to me, including whether Israel has actually attacked Fordow. 'Israeli sources say that though American forces took no part...Israel has had undefined “support” from the Americans.' www.economist.com/middle-east-...

My team and I at the Crowd Counting Consortium (@[email protected], Soha Hammam, & Chris Shay) have a new piece out: wagingnonviolence.org/2025/06/amer.... In it, we show that through May 2025, the size and scale of anti-Trump protests have dwarfed those in 2017. 🧵

And Bundy supporters showed up armed to the teeth and were openly sighting in on federal employees. None of this seemed overly troubling to those on the right. Imagine if these images were of LA protestors aiming in on LAPD officers.

Believe me, I couldn’t be more excited to return to critiquing him on policy someday. But right now, in this exact moment, Gavin Newsom, is the de facto leader of the free world. Listen to this speech in its entirety: youtu.be/pXQQNUeb4Sw?... @governor.ca.gov
