Now imagine what this does when cops do it to entire communities

For generations

Like they have in Black and brown and indigenous communities

Not because they're fighting big oil or doing anarchism

But because they're communities of Black, brown, and indigenous people

tired: "if we even have midterm elections while this guy is in power"
wired: "if we even have midterm elections while this guy is in power (hopeful)"
Every time someone says, "If we even have midterm elections" they are doing the work of the fascists for them

NEW: ICE is crashing the US court system in Minnesota. Thanks to Trump's push to detain an unprecedented number of people, and its attempt to kill bond hearings, petitions to secure people's release from custody have skyrocketed. @regret.bsky.social w/ the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-cr...

Consecutive days below 35° in Boston:

24 ending 2/8/1918
20 ending 2/15/1901 and 1/23/1893
19 ending 1/18/1981
18 ending TODAY (which hasn't hit 35 and likely won't) and others.

Tomorrow should hit 35° in which case the current streak will be tied the 4th longest on record.

Car crashes are never just "accidents." When it comes to ICE's driving in particular, their sense of impunity and the specter of random violence is, in fact, central to their terror campaign.
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

The 2018 Politico link is below. Here is today's Hill story: thehill.com/homenews/med...
Gallup retreats from political polling again under new leadership
The well-known polling firm is adopting a "more global perspective" that de-emphasizes U.S. politics.

It's "Stop the count" but in the other direction
If you saw today's headline that Gallup will stop measuring presidential approval, they did the same thing in 2018. They do it whenever Trump is president.

Seems the Pentagon is testing anti-drone high-energy lasers near Fort Bliss in El Paso, and didn't feel this was dangerous enough to close airspace over.

The FAA administrator disagreed.

Last week, these lasers successfully protected the American people from a sinister children's party balloon.
Airspace closure followed spat over drone-related tests and party balloon shoot-down, sources say
Pentagon officials had undertaken planning to use military technology near Fort Bliss, in El Paso, to practice downing drones.

So a Trump attorney that aided his 2020 campaign (and wrote a memo encouraging Pence to skip counting electoral votes) was given an "election integrity" job in the administration, where he made a referral to investigate Fulton County. 1/2

shutting down all service (*all* service) to a regional airport for ten days with no advance notice to anyone is pretty nuts
The airspace over El Paso airport, Texas, has been suddenly closed by the FAA for ten days, closing the airport too. The airspace has been defined as "National Defence Airspace". Nobody knows why.

The FAA is closing the airspace around El Paso International Airport in Texas for 10 days, grounding all flights to and from the airport, for “special security reasons."

The FAA's notice did not provide additional details.
