ICE agents in Worcester, Massachusetts arrested a mother outside of her home with her newborn baby and 16 year old daughter. The 16 year old stood in front of the ICE vehicle holding the baby. She handed the baby to a neighbor & fled. Police caught up to her, in a heartbreaking scene.⬇️

Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, NY’s oldest law firm, has found that its $100-million pro bono deal with Trump is backfiring as angry employees jump ship. It made the deal to avoid punitive damages from Trump’s executive orders targeting firms he said were “weaponizing” the legal system against him.

Yes. And do so not for the sake of those of us you berated but because, like David Brooks, your very failure in the past gives you credibility with many whom you misled now. If you were wrong, you have an opportunity to do a whole lot of right by saying so now.

Morning Bluesky. A draft Executive Order seen by the NYT suggests the US is about to abandon Africa, which would be a big win for Russia and China. The drastic overhaul of the State Department would eliminate almost all African operations and close embassies and consulates.

This is happening in spite of the fact that the president is not in charge of the Smithsonian. It's not an executive branch government agency, rather it's chartered by Congress and under a board of regents created by statute, none of whom are even appointed by the president.
