The first lawsuit against the largest immigration detention facility in the United States was filed this morning, and it’s been a long time coming.
Glad they caught him! Federal immigration agent Christian Castro was arrested in Texas in connection with a Minneapolis shooting earlier this year. Castro faces assault and false-reporting charges, was taken into custody.

Yesterday I published this detailed article arguing that women are simply not safe around men. I cited history, data, legal analysis, and meaningful solutions to combat the systemic violence men commit against women. It is currently approaching 500,000 reads. www.qasimrashid.com/p/women-are-...
Women Are Not Safe Around Men
This is a fact. The data is unambiguous and the solutions exist. The only thing missing is the will to act.

Wow. They’re openly defending the deletion of DOJ records about a man accused in a child solicitation case who assaulted police on January 6. Truly the Epstein administration.
Not a crime: "Surrounding" an immigration agent’s van. A crime: A prosecutor secretly meeting with one or more grand jurors. Who has standing to bring charges against the DOJ prosecutor?
![9-11.010 - Introduction
This chapter contains the Department's policy on grand jury practice.
In dealing with the grand jury, the prosecutor must always conduct himself or herself as an officer of the court whose function is to ensure that justice is done and that guilt shall not escape nor innocence suffer. The prosecutor must recognize that the grand jury is an independent body, whose functions include not only the investigation of crime and the initiation of criminal prosecution but also the protection of the citizenry from unfounded criminal charges. The prosecutor's responsibility is to advise the grand jury on the law and to present evidence for its consideration. In discharging these responsibilities, the prosecutor must be scrupulously fair to all witnesses and must do nothing to inflame or otherwise improperly influence the grand jurors.

Not enough news coverage of how the insurrectionist reparations fund is a clear violation of the 14th Amendment. We need to enforce the Constitution in its original meaning and plain text. You can't imagine away parts of the Constitution just because it is politically inconvenient.
It’s not that the president has some mysterious ability to “do whatever he wants” It’s that Senators are choosing not to stop him, even though they could
I can absolutely guarantee that no funds will get to the individual Nazi's involved in the insurrection. Trump will keep all of the money, and then promise to pay only the ones who agree to perform more crimes for him. He'll break that promise too, but his thugs are too dumb to know that.
