Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.
Two options:
1) ICE deliberately targeted him.
2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.
Hard to say which option is scarier.

President for the Rich and Powerful
Trump proves that stopping the drug trade means nothing when there's a chance to pardon a dirty politician who made millions by helping to bring 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S.

To the 31 House Democrats who voted with Trump: I would never vote to disenfranchise your constituents, undermine their democratic rights, or impose harsher penalties on them against their will. Regrettably, you have done exactly that to my constituents and legislative body. Shame 😪
Today 31 Democrats chose to side with Donald Trump over DC.
We did not ask for this. It will not make us safer. And fueling this fascist president's agenda is dangerous for our entire country. (🧵)

A Venezuelan man from The Bronx told THE CITY that he has begun a hunger strike to protest that immigration authorities have jailed him for more than seven months, despite multiple court rulings ordering his release.
Detainee Accused of Tren de Aragua Affiliation Starts Hunger Strike
Multiple judges have ruled that there’s little evidence that the Venezuelan man is a member of the notorious gang, but he remains in ICE custody nonetheless.

I was listening to an old Casey Kasem American Top 40 (I find this soothing these days) from 1985 where he told the story of Wendy Carlos, who scored The Shining and Tron, and her journey to becoming trans. Casey got all the pronouns right and it was presented as a slice of life, feel good story

This is Thiel’s vision (and I assume Vance is promoting it)…the idea is that all services become privatized, and then states “compete” (for residents?) based on which of them can offer the best services (while private companies make $). Sort of a U.S. hunger games model
Shocker. They want to privatize everything. Schools. NASA. Police. Health care. Social security. The VA. Everything.
The downsizing of the National Weather Service and the NOAA appears to be part of an effort to privatize the work of such agencies.
In several instances, the companies poised to step into the void have deep ties to people tapped by Trump to run weather-related agencies. apnews.com/article/trum...
