The company running license plate tracking cameras across Colorado has insisted that immigration agents don't have direct access. Flock now says they were wrong. CBP has access. (Using license plate info for immigration enforcement is prohibited by Colorado law) #copolitics

This will have to count as my Supreme Court term review.
I make that point that there's no point in reviewing what the Supreme Court has done because the rule of law is dead in this country anyway.

The Rule of Law Is Dead in the US
The rule of law presupposes that there are rules that provide a consistent, repeatable, and knowable set of outcomes. That’s no longer the case.

So @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social did a writeup of Brad Lander's arrest today at 26 Federal Plaza in NYC, focusing not just on Lander's treatment, but the treatment of immigrants inside, both in the courtroom and once they are detained.

I have never been a supporter of Donald Trump, but if Democrats cannot stop him from using the military against American civilians, I'll have no choice but to support all of his future terms and inform on my neighbors when they criticize him.

This week’s main story is about the recent deportations by the Trump administration, the flimsy pretexts behind them, and why the state of current events is a lot more than certain carpet companies have bargained for. You’ll see.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

No offense intended against mainstream politicians like Newsom.
It’s just that at this point we are way beyond the realm of normal bullshit politics.

If they can't hold their end of the deal, Illinoisans deserve to know.

In 1992 the US public health service recommended folic acid (FA) for all women of childbearing age. FA decreases the risk of infant brain malformations. A 2015 follow up study found that from 1995-2011, brain malformations had been prevented in ~1,326 infants per year. This is public health at work.
