NEW: A new tool searches your LinkedIn connections for people who are mentioned in the Epstein files.

Here's something people can do. Correct identification and documentation of #drones used by ICE might could lead to sanctions, boycotts, or other repercussions for the agency and the #drone manufacturers/vendors down the line.

I’m seeking photos and videos of drones used by ICE, like these. Please send any you have my way - trying to better understand the patterns.
There are numerous reports across the Twin Cities on ICE monitoring pages of drones circling apartment buildings. What valid law enforcement reason could there be for this?

Only Congress can rename a U.S. gov dept. Trump's EO 14347 gave DoD "secondary titles" other federal agencies are to use & which are to cost some $2 billion to change signage, etc. It's an ugly little microcosm of the MAGA dictatorship aspirants: split hairs to rebrand government, make Congress moot
The new version of the SAVE America Act has also dropped a reference to the 'Department of War' - which does not exist. 4/

Women who took their spouses’ last names (& others with name changes) could get around the birth certificate problem by having or getting passports. But “getting” takes time & $$$, & Rs will likely slow down the process. Their bill doesn’t even offer to cover the expense, making it a poll tax.
The GOP’s new Voter Suppression bill, the so-called “SAVE Act,” would disenfranchise many of the 69 million women who took their husbands’ last names, as explained in my summary.
It proposes *no penalties* for erroneous voter purges but potential *prison time* for erroneous registrations. WTF?! 1/

"The system sucks," or what a federal lawyer's comments really tell us about the Trump admin
Julie Le's comments are shocking, but they are a problem of the Trump admin’s own making. And it goes way beyond one lawyer new to the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office.
