Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated.
Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.”
This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

‘Constitutional Crisis’ Is an Understatement
It’s the hottest, and most useless, buzz phrase of the moment.

North Carolina will be sued.
The North Carolina General Assembly’s GOP supermajority just approved a hugely corrupt power grab, seizing authority from the governor and the courts to prevent any meaningful check on legislative abuses. Authoritarian stuff. A very dark day for democracy in NC. amp.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

Each time our nation has advanced closer to the more inclusive, pluralist, multi-racial democracy to which we’ve aspired at our best, that advance was preceded by a period of crisis and conflict.
This time is no different. A better democracy is on the other side of this crisis.

This is an anthem for my town of Asheville by Grammy winning locals, Twenty Three Skidoo. Hurricane Helene tragedy and hope. I’m the juggler, lifting spirits in a line to get fresh water.

Asheville good news! We finally have city water to drink, though most people are being cautious. There is a question and discussion about lead but we’re making progress! wlos.com/news/local/a...
Asheville lifts boil water notice; Mission Hospital remains cautious with water use
