From @stevanzetti.bsky.social: In February, the Texas Observer confirmed that James “Jim” Joseph Rodden—an ICE assistant chief counsel in Dallas—operates a white supremacist X account. Now, ICE refuses to tell us, or members of Congress, if he's still employed.

Congressman Marc Veasey arrived at an ICE facility Monday in his latest attempt to follow up on the Observer's reporting.

In fairness, the Supreme Court’s Republican appointees regularly “hallucinate” bogus facts without using AI. The praying coach ruling shows that Gorsuch doesn’t need a sloppy robot to make shit up that’s directly refuted by the record!
Federal Judges— or staff, but same-same— used "AI" to summarize & draft rulings, issued them w/o checking the work, leading to basic factual errors, & thus undermining the facticity & validity of the rulings entire.

Gee. Who Could Have Foreseen. *stares directly into the camera like in the office*
Two federal judges say use of AI led to errors in US court rulings
Two federal judges admitted in response to an inquiry by U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley that members of their staff used artificial intelligence to help prepare recent court orders that Grassley called "error-ridden."

I think back to how the cops roughed us up in 2018 when we protested saying this and no one cared.

And I think about how ICE routinely brutalizes and disappears and murders people now, and.

Pay attention when state violence is leveraged against liberatory protesters. Everyone else is next.
the "abolish ICE" people were right

Top VA officials testified that they don’t know how many doctors and nurses have left.

We do.

The VA is down 600+ doctors and 1,900+ nurses this year.

After years of growth, the number of docs has declined each month since Trump took office.

1. Trump has dug in on anti-trans provisions in the shutdown fight this morning, cancelling a meeting with Dems unless they cave on trans people.

His post to Truth Social is a clear indication that Republicans are making targeting trans people a priority.

🚨NEW STUDY: Large media outlets systematically omitted mention of data showing corporate profits helped drive inflation, instead citing industry talking points.

Lawmakers then cited those media narratives to justify ending aid to the working class.

1. State AGs have sued Trump for intimidating providers from providing trans care.

Meanwhile, institutions are dropping trans people left and right out of fear of Trump.

It is truly surreal knowing the research on COVID-19 and being in a doctors waiting room filled with high-risk and elderly patients and seeing no one else masked. And hearing multiple people coughing. It is shameful how little public education there is on COVID-19’s ongoing risks.
