"There is so much collaboration happening between ICE and local law enforcement in those places that the scale of enforcement is much greater, without the same level of spectacle." very important read!

In my latest, I talk with @silkys13.bsky.social about the struggle against ICE. How are the government’s tactics shifting, and how must we respond? We also discuss the tremendous victory of fighting off the warehouse model for the regime’s concentration camps, and where the fight goes from here.

As Beshear waits for "proof of life," McConnell would've invoked Kentucky's Constitution, threatened hearings and subpoenas, and made this such a raging daily political headache for Kentucky's GOP that somebody would've blinked. My latest for @thenation: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Andy Beshear Is What’s Wrong With the Democratic Party in the Trump Era

The Kentucky governor isn’t doing what Mitch McConnell would do—and that’s the problem.

Nolan Wells, an 18-year-old from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, was found dead after taking a boat to a barrier island with friends on July 4. Nearly three weeks later, there have been no conclusive answers as to what happened. Here's the latest.

I've been writing about Flock and ALPRs for a few years now, and the news that the LAPD let their Flock contract expire over “privacy issues” makes people think that the department will not use Flock in the future. They’re renegotiating their contract with the company.

Early Sunday morning in Memphis, the National Guard killed 20-year-old father Tyrin Johnson. This is the 3rd death connected to Trump’s “Memphis Safe Task Force,” patrolling the streets of Memphis at Trump’s orders since Oct of last year, despite the protests (and legal action) of local officials.

it's been _really_ clear on the last couple on the Telemundo broadcast — surely they can even hear that in Switzerland...

Fabulous first half—one of the best of the entire World Cup, imo. What is not so fabulous? Mexico fans with their homophobic “Puto” chant every time England take a goal kick. FIFA continues to choose to look the other way, ignoring its own stated anti-discrimination principles. More FIFA corruption.

If this is true -- a very big if -- it is surely how McConnell would have wanted to go: exploiting the timing of the death of major figures (Scalia, RBG) for cynical partisan gain.

Republicans may be running out the clock on disclosing whether McConnell is even alive, purely so a filing deadline slides past and Thomas Massie can't grab the seat. A man's actual mortality reduced to a procedural loophole for gatekeeping power.

Liz Soto and Savanna Batten are 2 of those sentenced to 50 years in prison for Prairieland. I visited them in a north Texas jail—11 months into their incarceration over a July 4 noise demo—to meet the Trump admin’s “Antifa terrorists”. from behind glass, Soto said, “They didn’t like my book club.”

If you watched the viral video of Bosnian soccer fans shouting for Palestine ahead of game in toronto today, read this piece about Bosnian team grappling with legacy of genocide & displacement with 17 of its players born elsehwere. "Playing for the national team becomes a symbolic act of return."

The country they never left

Bosnia’s World Cup squad is built on the descendants of war and displacement, players raised across Europe and North America who are finding their way back through football.
