OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":

".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

LA folks: see that number?

Put it in your phones and learn how to ID ICE vehicles. Take a patrol and Adopt-A-Corner training.

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis
Axios tried to bust James Talarico for following adult content creators on Instagram and I'm genuinely impressed by his campaign's response

others have said it and it's worth repeating, the Trump admin's occupation of Chicago isnt about immigration enforcement, it's about provoking confrontation and trying to create the conditions to declare martial law during an election yr. it's coming to your city next.
This—agents driving around in circles and provoking the community—has gone on for hours at this point with no discernible goal other than to inflict terror.

They also just fired pepper balls at someone.
Border Patrol is out and about in Little Village this morning.

I'm a protective intel analyst with a lot of public sector experience. If the Mamdani transition team is looking for security people, I'd like to help. If you know anyone, don't hesitate to reach out to me.

Looking for the take that maybe Trump surrounding himself with the most hateful and hateable people in America isn’t exactly helping him either.

👀 Scoop: IRS Direct File, the free government-backed program that let you file your taxes for free, is dead.

IRS wrote to state tax agencies saying it would not be operational this coming tax season, per records I've obtained.

IRS Direct File: 2023-2025.

(Story from when the pilot launched.)
IRS tests free e-filing system that could compete with tax-prep giants
The tax agency has quietly built its own prototype system for filing tax returns digitally and free of charge, according to current and former officials.

Don't make the same mistake that Democratic politicians in New York City have always made - getting pushed around by the NYPD.

wow, if only there had been warning signs about his temperament before he was confirmed
Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

Here you have a Florida Fish & Wildlife officer detaining an individual who was fishing and admitting they have been directed to “check with immigration on anyone who gives us a passport and doesn’t appear to be a citizen”, which sounds a lot like racial profiling.
