Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved.
DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.

EXCLUSIVE: Terez Metry was 13 when her family fled to Tennessee from Egypt in 2011. Then, they left her behind. She only recently discovered she had an order of removal from 2011. But she was following the legal path to citizenship. On Monday, at a routine DHS meeting, Metry was detained.

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

Imma save the whole world then
My actual job description is activist and here’s what I tell people in despair all the time: do not underestimate how much harm you can prevent by being just a little bit annoying.
This is one reason I keep trying to remind people of the power that we have. That we have *always* had. Not because I’m in denial, but because I know history. I’m no sophisticated intellectual, but I do know we’re going to win even though the bad shit is really terrible right now.

LOLing after Bedoya says he resisted debating Matt Yglesias on social media over him saying restoring Dems to power would end police-state risks. "Friends don't let friends engage with Matt Yglesias online," he says. "He's like an engagement algorithm that made a wish and became a real person."

This should really be headlined “MFG has a reaction that makes it clear she’s under NDA and will say nothing specific about ex-husband diddling little girls and giving her an STD.”
No shade to her for that reality, but do something better with your 3 minutes than listen to non-statements.

A reminder that defenses for the no fly list and requiring special ID for flying has repeatedly accompanied the insistence that there’s no constitutional right to travel by air

Donalds: "Not only are we gonna stand behind ICE as they do their job of deporting criminal illegal aliens, but we're also gonna protect franchise of voting by requiring a voter ID. You need an ID to go stay in a hotel, open bank account, get on a plane. You should be able to show ID when you vote."

If you needed even more proof that these people have no consistent ideology other than “let me hurt my opponents”
Pirro: "You bring a gun into the District, you mark my words, you're going to jail. I don't care if you have a license in another district and I don't care if you're a law abiding law owner somewhere else. You bring a gun into this District, count on going to jail. And that makes all the difference"

Wow. The county is charging the Ilhan Omar attacker even though the feds are also doing that, because they don't trust Trump to not pardon the guy.
This was a disturbing assault on @repilhan.bsky.social, who is frequently the target of vilifying language by fellow elected officials and members of the public.
Mr. Kazmierczak has been charged with one felony count of terroristic threats and one count of fifth-degree assault.

*snort* Pal, I’ve been doing shit that got folks to threaten to put stuff On My Permanent Record for most of my 55 years, you think you’re gonna scare me with this now?
Biggest problem this’ll cause me is the postage to send in FOIA requests so I have something to frame on the wall.

People are nervous about watching video, but this one is not of the murder, it's of the lead up, and people need to see it before the spin takes over.
Video before it happens is showing this guy they shot in the head in Minneapolis was just standing there videoing them before and they got out to push him back and then murder him.

I hesitate to say that this means anything on any scale, but the very Trumpy house in my neighborhood replaced all its signs with one small one that reads: "Enough is enough. Vote libertarian."

I got about halfway through the new Dresden File novel and thought “the author seems like he’s about ready for this series to be done.” I got to the end of it and I’m about ready for it to be done too.

Not to mention that this portrayal of the sucker being subservient has always been flawed. I think there’s a pretty easy argument to be made about who is in charge when one person has the other’s genitals between their teeth.
