(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.

After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

An American-made hunger crisis. A worsening cholera epidemic.

Our reporters journeyed to some of the places most devastated by Trump’s dismantling of foreign aid.

They spoke to hundreds of people who witnessed and experienced how political appointees cut programs in arbitrary ways:

Four months after the raid, federal prosecutors have not filed criminal charges against anyone who was arrested.

Nearly all of the immigrants have already been deported.

We’ve interviewed 15 immigrants detained that night; all denied gang membership.

I will never not-laugh at this.
Today is the 5th anniversary of the release of the infamous #Lawyercat video, which I posted roughly thirty minutes after the start of the second impeachment trial. Who would have thought it would have such a lasting impact on the world! Happy Lawyercat Day for all who celebrate!
Happy #Lawyercat Anniversary for all who celebrate! It's been four years since the kitten appeared in my Zoom courtroom, and I released the 48 second video that made the whole world laugh. Here is the full video showing the big reveal at the end (in two parts because Blue sky). Enjoy!

I read a ton of reactions to Bad Bunny’s halftime show, both here and in the bad place.

I watched the show again this morning.

Yes, it was an incredible performance. Joyful, emotional, uplifting.

It was a love letter to humanity…to Puerto Rico…and more.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

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 Donald Trump administration has stopped collecting or publicizing data on critical issues — including maternal mortality, law enforcement misconduct, and food insecurity.

That’s not a technical issue. It’s a transparency problem. You can’t fix what you don’t measure. https://seiu.co/3LVatOp
Federal Data Is Disappearing
The Trump administration has disrupted data collection on everything from homeland security, maternal mortality, hunger, drug use, education, disaster preparation and the economy.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

“Put that in your book, boys.”

When we have federal agents treating the shooting of an unarmed citizen as a trophy moment, we should all be outraged and demanding action of Congress.
Rep. Robert Garcia to Marimar Martinez: "The agent linked an article about your shooting and texted…'I fired 5 rounds, and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys'…It's our understanding that he was actually bragging about his aim shooting an unarmed American citizen."

This should be a bigger fucking story. Thread.👇
Two agents involved in the shooting deaths of US citizens in Minneapolis are reportedly part of paramilitary tactical units—including ICE’s two Special Response Teams (SRT), CBP’s one SRT, and the Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC)—whose extreme tactics are generally reserved for war zones.

Republicans are in here cosplaying as protectors of women and children, but they were silent when Renee Good was killed, willingly voted to cut SNAP, and are now sitting by as ICE rips children away from their families.

Miss me with the selective outrage.

Gonna beg media not to just repeat Trump's obviously bullshit framing in the headlines. Tell readers the truth in the headlines.
Alternatives:

Unreal. He’s shutting down the Kennedy Center, after his flunkies caused mass defections of artists?

Everything the man touches turns to ash. Our cultural heritage; destroyed. Our national treasures; plundered.
Trump: "I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything."

Yesterday, Todd Blanche said that people weren't going to find in the Epstein files what we always suspected.

And while I'm mostly watching what others find in the Epstein files second hand, I keep thinking, are you fucking HIGH? Everything I'm seeing is precisely what we expected.
