In all of American history, I’m not sure there’s been a more logically incoherent pair of actions than Trump pardoning a drug trafficking head of state, and then months later ”justifying” a foreign invasion by going after a head of state for drug trafficking.

Seems like a valid question. Why is ICE considered essential while ATCs are not?
Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

New from 404 Media: libraries are scrambling for books after a giant distributor shut down. This is a huge disruption to public libraries across the country, some of which are warning their communities the shut down will limit their ability to lend books.

Gotta log off for a while after this one. Just too much.
I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

When faced with absolutely horrific stuff, scan articles to find the helpers. They're often and usually 501c3s, like www.companeros.org and www.805undocufund.org. Donate, and get that corporate match if you have it.

A source familiar with this incident told me today that not only did they arrest and charge the comedy club manager, but the Latino man he was defending from ICE -- who was also arrested and whisked away -- **is also a U.S. citizen.**
It's unclear where the Latino man is now.

this is something that individual members of Congress could do tomorrow. The government is shut down so they could use their district offices. I suggested in January that they turn those offices into full on community centers where people could find each other re: mutual aid etc...
If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net
