NEW: As he released 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, Judge Biery warned of vast lawlessness and inhumanity in the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts. He said courts amounted to “a judicial finger in the dike.”

It is chilling to think that ICE agents may have targeted Alex Pretti because he stood up to them a week ago. They knew who he was, and they went after him because he stood up to them. ICE is acting like the Gestopo in 1930’s Germany. The agents involved should be charged with murder.

I am devastated to hear that the extraordinary Catherine O'Hara has died at 71. What a force she was. She was just on The Studio their first season and seemed vibrant as ever. Condolences to her husband and family, friends and fans. We lost a good one.

It's crucial to know these ICE officers knew Pretti. They broke his rib when they arrested him a week earlier. So they knew he carried a gun & had a concealed carry permit. They knew if they shot him he'd probably have a gun. And it appears they track folks—and hold grudges.

You all may know this, but I'm just now reading that Alex Pretti had his rib broken by ICE agents one week before they shot him. They knew who he was. And must have known he was a licensed gun owner.

Argh - CORRECTIONS: Grassley has been in Congress 51 years - since January 1975. He started off in Congress, but he's been in the Senate most of his career.
He was elected 3 times to the House and 8 times to the Senate.
So Grassley "only" swore to uphold the Constitution ELEVEN times.
Apologies.

What’s it going to take to get to mass strikes?
General strikes can have a tremendous impact, but they require an organized majority, solidarity and resources to weather repression.
