Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Anyway, AI doesn’t have any value for me in anything I do. I understand this says something about *what* I do. But also? It’s only practically existed for maybe 18 months. I loved and worked almost 45 years without it so yeah, I’m cool.

When many other Democratic leaders in Congress were cravenly supporting the run-up to the Iraq War, Nancy Pelosi opposed it and whipped votes in the House against it.
She has many other career accomplishments but that brave and prescient stand is what I'll remember.

This, I agree with. "It was reasonable for me under these circumstances not to know that these orders were a war crime" is viable under these circumstances in ways that it wasn't for, say, the Nazis in charge of liquidating a ghetto, but that reasonableness will decrease over time

Morality, decency, justice, and fairness just never enter these discussions. Nor does the possibility that effective leadership and advocacy can move the needle.
The year I was born, public approval of interracial marriage was 30 percent. Death penalty support has dropped 30 percent since 2000.

Ellis "It may be that what I am seeing is the result if one of three things:"
1. Perhaps the order is unclear
2. No one read the order
3. "Folks actively chose to ignore it"
Ellis said it could not be No. 3, because that would violate Bovino's oath

Kilmar Abrego may have been vindictively prosecuted by Trump administration, US judge finds
A federal judge ruled on Friday there was a realistic likelihood that the criminal charges the U.S. Department of Justice brought against Kilmar Abrego, the alleged gang member who was wrongly deported by President Donald Trump's administration to El Salvador, amounted to a vindictive prosecution.

SCOTUS holds for the first time in history that law enforcement can stop people based on their race. Would it approve roving patrols targeting white people, who commit most of crime in this country, or citizens, who commit crimes at higher rates than non-citizens?
