DHS says they “don’t arrest U.S. citizens for immigration enforcement.”

But at least 170 Americans they’ve detained know that’s not true.

Don’t ignore their stories.

If Trump can detain citizens—including combat Veterans—for days without cause, no one is safe from his whims.
Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

The more we talk about this guy, the more we shape the clay of martyrdom. He was no hero. From what I've read so far, his POV was negative, regressive, and lacked nuance- a child of the clickbait internet and Xbox eras.

Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/

New from 404 Media: ICE added a random person to group chat, exposed highly sensitive details about an active manhunt in real-time. The person says they were added weeks ago, thought they were scam texts until start seeing data lookups etc. Incredible security failure www.404media.co/ice-adds-ran...

The GOP is not a good faith partner in governing. They are not on the level. Their stated goals are irrelevant and disconnected to their behavior.

Any Democrat who pretends otherwise is misunderstanding our opposition and not up to what this moment demands.

Note to media:
“Trump says” is not a story. He says A LOT. He lies a lot. Do some sifting, discerning, contextualizing. Otherwise it’s just stenography. And you’re embarrassing yourselves.

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

It occurs to me that the administration is willing to
"win, by any method." There are lines that the rest of us don't want to cross. Before this ends, we have to be willing to cross some of `em, and try to keep our humanity and self-respect.
On cue, the brown-shirt boys are "just following orders."

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

Fascism begins with censorship.

Hitler's Ministry of Public Enlightenment & Propaganda banned "subversive" textbooks. Andrew Jackson tried to outlaw "divisive" anti-slavery literature. White mobs destroyed 100+ "radical" Black newspapers.

Now it's Trump's turn.
Donald Trump's Executive Order Restores White Supremacy
The whitest executive order of all time is a perfect example of how fascism starts.

Disappeared: Mahmood Khalil
Disappeared count: 1

Khalil was a Columbia University graduate student, US permanent resident, and husband of a US citizen detained by order of the White House on 3/9/2025. He spoke out against the Israeli government, which is believed to be the reason he was targeted.

Re-upping this again as more people read about the Khalil case. More information to come, but nothing in WP and NYT so far contradicts original reporting. Again, it DOES NOT MATTER what you think about him or his cause. Either government is bound by the law for all of us or we're all at their mercy.
Reminder: When a person or institution you hate is targeted for illiberal persecution by an aspiring authoritarian, you have to defend them EVEN IF you don't like them. It doesn't matter if you don't like campus protestors or Columbia or the law firms. We must defend them or we're all at risk next.

We have reached the joke stage in the break with the U.S. That's a very good sign.

Some of his readers have asked Mike Masnick @mmasnick.bsky.social why his technology news site, Tech Dirt, has been covering politics so intensely lately. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w...

I cannot recommend Mike's reply enough. It's exactly what readers need to hear, what journalists need to do.
