*reporters: STOP WRITING THAT THESE MEN WERE DEPORTED. Deportation is a specific legal process. These men didn't go through that process. When we describe what happened as deportation, we fail to convey to our readers just how unprecedented this situation truly is.

Do the minimum: be accurate.

The media's focus around the more than 100 Venezuelan nationals who have no gang ties and were transferred* to El Salvador requires a good/bad immigrant dichotomy. It further emphasizes the dehumanization of people who – like each and every single one of us – have made mistakes in life.

Speaking to Teen Vogue for our March special-issue cover, @thevivllainous.bsky.social insists she isn’t frightened that her estranged dad — the richest man in the world, and one of the most powerful people in the current presidential administration — could retaliate against her.

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred.

A screenshot from a court filing reads, in part: "Julio Noriega is 54 years old, was born in Chicago, and is a U.S. citizen. On January 31, 2025, he was walking near the corner of Cermak Road and Harlem Avenue in Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses. As he walked out of a Jiffy Lube, he was approached by ICE officers who grabbed and handcuffed him and put him into a van, without an opportunity to explain his citizenship. The officers drove Julio and others around for more than an hour before bringing him to an ICE processing center, where he remained, still handcuffed, for several more hours. All the while, Julio had a wallet containing identification that ICE had confiscated. The officers never showed Julio a warrant, and they did not ask him any questions to ascertain whether he was a noncitizen or a flight risk. After about 10 hours, ICE officers reviewed the contents of Julio’s wallet, realized he was a U.S. citizen, and released him with no money and no paperwork."

Minnesota Dems: Sadly, we will have to wait approximately 2,000 days to primary Amy Klobuchar. Future candidates: start thinking about it. Current constituents: If you see her, say something. Heckle her in airports, etc. She should dread facing the voters she's sold out.

Democrats even *thinking* about joining Republicans to censure Al Green for having the courage to stand up while they sat down do not deserve to be able to generate a single fundraising dollar from a person of moral character ever again.
