Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should resign and be criminally charged, according to critics who seized on a report revealing that zero people who were arrested in a high-profile raid were charged with a crime.

There doesn’t seem to be reporting yet on what this means. But I assume it’s not good.

Boeing is paying Charm Industrial to remove 100000 tonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere, which is a time machine that takes us back by 1 minute and 15 seconds. 🥲
Boeing has a carbon emissions problem. Startup Charm Industrial is cleaning up. | TechCrunch
The deal will see Charm Industrial collect forestry waste and transform it into a bio-oil it buries underground.

An interesting tidbit in the joint status report filed in the Broadview ICE facility case today:
ICE says video from inside the facility "between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed" and can't be produced in discovery.

This is could well be a historic midterm for Democrats.
Don’t waste it on centrists who won’t come through when it matters. Run vocal progressives.
You won’t end Trumpism without anti-corruption crusaders and warriors for social and economic justice who believe in taxes & big, universal programs.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

The thing about protesting at Broadview is that the law is whatever the cop in front of you decides it is that day. There’s a special zone for free speech, only during certain hours of course. Arrested another protester. For no fucking reason. Not in the magical “you have rights in here only” zone 🤡

A Charlotte man was stopped twice by ICE. The first group checked his ID and let him go. Minutes later, another set of agents rolled up, smashed his window, dragged him out, and assaulted him

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
