"for much of the 2010s and likely before and since, it appears the crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States"
Some jawdropping CBP crime statistics here...

California, your turn.
NEW — This morning, Mayor Brandon Johnson signed “ICE On Notice,” an executive order that instructs Chicago police to investigate alleged illegal activity by federal immigration agents and send evidence of possible felonies to the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Hey maybe Bass shouldn’t have made LAPD chief out of a man who was the FIRST LASD SHERIFF TO LOSE REELECTION IN 100 YEARS SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE HE WAS TOO COZY WITH ICE

HELLO

Every elected should be acting like a community organizer/mutual aid organizer all the damn time in 2026.
realizing that democrats could be using their ginormous fundraising apparatus to send out links to rent funds or even, hell, frontline orgs is just so annoying

This is the only way forward.
I was actually surprised earlier today, as I got an email from Elizabeth Warren with fundraising asks to help orgs in MN. (With no included asks for fundraising for herself/other dems.)

Was the first time I'd seen anything like that from a rep, hope it won't be the last. Needs to be more of that.

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images.

This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

So, my Cintiq 21UX just stopped working at around 2:00 AM, today. Stopped recognizing pen input, refused to function as anything other than a monitor.

This has happened before. Twice. And if it happens to you, it's fixable.

Here's how.

Sometimes you look at Democrats and think "You've spent so long accepting lesser evils that you don't even consider anymore if you have to accept an evil at all."

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

Kelly Marie Tran is a genuinely gutsy person.
You’ve got to love how actress Kelly Marie Tran, one of the most harassed people ever to be on the internet, still leapt up to defend trans people in a recent interview. No one would blame her for keeping her head down and shutting up forever but she will NOT and I admire her for it ⭐

This is so important because A) she did it in response to Benedict Wong, a far more prominent actor, saying he's listening to the audiobooks a lot and B) did it unprompted, she specifically stopped the fluff interview to draw the comparison to the themes of their film and support trans people.

The more it looks like the authoritarian regime is unstoppable, the less likely people are to try to stop it. It more fragile it looks, the more people will make efforts to stop it. This is why the regime is trying so hard to appear strong and indomitable. Make it look fragile. It is fragile.

23 Americans can end this. Can we persuade them?
Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

This country would evaporate within 48 hours without nurses and I genuinely hope y'all do it.
I am seeing quite a few nurses calling for a nationwide strike over the killing of Alex Pretti. I think we are seeing one of the largest workforces being radicalized before our very eyes.
