But as we report in the new piece, Trump has seized full control of the anniversary planning by creating a new public-private org, "Freedom 250," which is now organizing all the high-profile events the president wants to hold this year, nominally to mark the 250th, but really to celebrate himself.

Hey Dems, maybe use this messaging:
France responds to Elon Musk after he called the raid of Twitter (X) offices a ‘political attack’ “Investigating child sexual abuse material isn’t controversial. Turning it into political theater is manipulation. Maybe that logic flies on some island. Doesn’t fly in France”

This is situation is entirely predictable and can be prevented.

@criticalinternet.bsky.social conducts in-depth research on election disinformation and political violence. Already, organized right wing vigilante groups are publicly filming voting stations and ballot boxes for intimidation.

Sitting U.S. senators don't make letters such as this one public unless they feel a paper trail is needed to inform the public.

Not great. Really not great.

Dear Director Ratcliffe, I write to alert you to a classified letter I sent you earlier today in which I express deep concerns about CIA activities. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Ron Wyden, U.S. Senator

A war against the arts and arts coverage.
samadams.bsky.social Sam Adams @samadams.bsky.social · 7h
the Washington Post effectively blew up its arts section today, dismissing its books, TV, music, and theater critics, features writers, and several editors. (I'm also guessing the vacant film critic position will stay that way.) Just an insane loss of talent and a huge self-inflicted wound.

Why do Stephen Miller and Trump need to waste so much taxpayer money on "prison camps" for people that are going to deport anyway??? Maybe, those "prison camps" are not for deportees but for USA political prisoners.
SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT and
DEFUND ICE NOW!

It’s hard to put into perspective how truly massive the warehouse is that was recently sold by the Rockefeller Group to the Department of Homeland Security for $70 million to build a concentration camp in Surprise, AZ. Across the street is a huge neighborhood and a school. It’s 400,000-square-feet.

I am running out of ways to convey how disconnected from reality Trump's judicial nominees are. They can't say that Trump lost the 2020 election, they won't say that the January 6 insurrection happened, they don't acknowledge any fact about anything if Trump hasn't authorized them to believe it
Trump Is Building a Federal Judiciary of Delusional, Cowardly Loyalists
Judges have to decide cases based on facts. For Trump judges, the only facts that matter are the ones that he authorizes them to believe.

they're trying to be coy about salivating over the prospect of raping women, they'll contest that but if pushed to explain, that's exactly what they would describe. forced pregnancy of any kind, by a man or by the state, is gender-based violence

College professors once taught free from political interference. Now, they are being watched by state officials, senior administrators and students themselves. The increased oversight comes as conservatives expand their movement to curb what they say is a liberal tilt in university classrooms.
How Universities and States Are Increasing Surveillance of Professors
Scrutiny of university classrooms is being formalized, with new laws requiring professors to post syllabuses and tip lines for students to complain.

Judge Blackwell continues:

"Having what you feel are too many detainees, too
many cases, too many deadlines, and not enough
infrastructure to keep up with it all, is not a defense to
continued detention. If anything, it ought to be a warning
sign."
The Government makes the point that some of the attorneys currently are under extraordinary strain, and you are obviously telling that to this Court understanding that the operation that explains this process is not an operation that is driven by the Federal Courts. I do accept that Operation Metro Surge has generated a volume of arrests and detentions that has taxed existing systems, staffing, and coordination between DOJ and the DHS. I read that in your papers. I understand that. I also don't have any reason to take issue at this time that individual attorneys, including those appearing here, are working in good faith and under difficult circumstances. But those facts, even taken as true, do not answer the legal problem that it presents for this Court. If the Government undertakes an enforcement operation of this scale, one that results in the detention of large numbers of people, including individuals who are lawfully present in the United States, then the Government assumes a corresponding obligation to ensure that each detention complies with the Constitution and with court orders governing release. Volume, that is, the volume of cases and matters, is not a justification for diluting constitutional rights and it never can be. It heightens the need for care Having what you feel are too many detainees, too many cases, too many deadlines, and not enough infrastructure to keep up with it all, is not a defense to continued detention. If anything, it ought to be a warning sign. But what you cannot do is to detain first and then sort out lawful authority later. Continued detention is not lawful just because compliance with release orders is administratively difficult or because an operation has expanded beyond the Government's capacity to execute it lawfully. detailed release requirements are the source of the problem. In many instances, I have had to not just issue an order, but another order, another order, another order, about 7 or 8 different touches sent to the Government simply asking for the date, time, and location of the release of someone who was ordered released, in many instances, a week or more in the past. And why that is so difficult, I cannot understand, because there's obviously a person associated with the Government who is going to the detainee to release him or her. You have their name. You can carry with you a form. The name is on it. Just write the time on it and send it to the DOJ. That cannot be a reason, a source for this problem of the noncompliance because that's too easy to fix, and I don't even work for the Executive Branch. But the requirements that the Court has in place exist because individuals were being detained without lawful authority, they were being transferred contrary to orders, or released in ways that undermine the relief that was granted by the Court.

If ICE agents didn't wear masks, they would be FAMOUS for all the wrong reasons. So if you wanna see mass resignations, prevent them from wearing masks.

That said, abolishing ICE is the only way to truly prevent more violence, harm and murder.
