I told all the Latinos for Trump be ready to carry papers and they laughed

Trump's domestic Gestapo raided a job site, then handcuffed a US citizen born in Raleigh NC -- even after being shown the guy's REAL ID, which is only available to US citizens and LPRs

CBP+ICE will ignore your identifying documents when it suits their racism

www.newsobserver.com/news/local/a...
Excerpt from the linked news story. Text reads: Fernando Vazquez doesn't understand why Border Patrol agents took him into custody Tuesday. Agents from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) pinned him to a gate at his Cary worksite, handcuffed him and pulled his wallet out. They saw his N.C. REAL ID. But Vazquez, 18, said they still kept him in handcuffs and ushered him into the back of a gray Chevy Tahoe. He sat next to another worker in his early 20s who was crying. Excerpt from the linked news story. Text reads: 'I was in shock' Vazquez was born in Raleigh and lives in Apex. His parents are from Mexico, and he works with his dad as a landscaper. He graduated from Vernon Malone College and Career Academy in Raleigh. He was detained close to his former middle school, Reedy Creek. Excerpt from the linked news story. Text reads: Vazquez said he saw eight agents — four from the Tahoe, and four from a Ford Explorer or Chevy Suburban. Agents put him in the back of the Tahoe and drove off. "I was in shock, basically," Vazquez said. While in the car, a different Latino agent asked Vazquez where he was from. "Here," Vazquez told him. "NO, where were you born?" the agent asked. Vazquez told him he was born in Raleigh. He said the agent got angry and cussed him out. Excerpt from the linked news story. Text reads: The agents eventually allowed Vazquez out of their SUV, and he caught a video of them removing his handcuffs and throwing his wallet out of the car, its contents scattering on the ground. The video has over 5 million views on TikTok.

So funny how we did all the "who's really in charge?" discourse under Biden even though it was pretty clear he was personally invested in some of his administration's least-popular actions, whereas Trump is just totally MIA on matters of great importance.

State Dept. Spokesperson now refuting GOP and Dem senators’ account of their joint briefing from Rubio - and claiming the 28 point plan IS authored by the US.

Hard to believe several senators would have fundamentally misunderstood what Rubio told them.

Breathtakingly dysfunctional government.

Sick of #republican #doublestandards and #hypocrisy.
If Joe Biden called a reporter "piggy," it would dominate Fox News for a month. Conservative think pieces would decry his lack of decorum and "un-presidential" behavior. Right-leaning medical professionals would speculate about impaired inhibition and flashes of anger as signs of dementia. But when Trump does it, it's normalized-just him "owning" the liberal media, just Trump being Trump.

You absolutely have the constitutional right to record ICE, Border Patrol, or any law enforcement officer in public, and with everything happening in Charlotte right now, people need to understand that clearly.

If ICE is uncomfortable with public oversight during large-scale sweeps, the issue is not the cameras, it’s the conduct they don’t want seen.

Reading Angus Deaton's book on developmental econ, and he's got a very good, long section making a case that aid to Africa has reinforced bad power structures while prioritizing the often wrong, occasionally ludicrous, development ideas of rich Americans.

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.

The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appears to be using the CDC website to advance his own anti-vaccine beliefs, Tom Bartlett argues.

The problem with having rather openly purged DOJ of all but the most shameless stooges and loyalists is precisely this: Even once the Epstein files are released, why would anyone believe that release is complete and undoctored?

At this stage there’s literally no reason to believe the admin, even if it releases more than you’d expect, are being forthcoming. It’s the opposite of conspiracy theory to look at the proudly lawless pattern of deception and raw power that this trump admin has engaged in then to conclude they’d…

But his emails.
A black background with an orange border. At the top is text: “introverted__hiker: MAGA in 2016: ‘But her emails!!’ MAGA now: ‘Emails don’t prove anything.’” Below the text is an image of Hillary Clinton, wearing an orange outfit and holding her arms out in a shrugging gesture.

Pay attention to how Mike Johnson is trying to shift the narrative today - he’s saying some Epstein files can’t be released because they’re intelligence products and would harm national security.

There’s a lot of uncertainty in the forecast, but we are confident of unseasonable heat through Thursday, then the likelihood of showers and thunderstorms Thursday evening into Friday as a weak front approaches Houston. After that? Well, we'll see.

The numbers tell the story.
A tweet from Paul (@SkylineReport) reads: “ICE dragged the country through a full-blown panic just to spit out 16 cases. Sixteen. That’s a joke, a wet firecracker, an insult to everyone they terrorised. Meanwhile Trump has shoved thousands of actual criminals back onto the streets with his clown-car pardons. Forget 16. His body count of offenders not behind bars anymore is in the thousands.” He’s quote-tweeting CBS News (@CBSNews), which wrote: “Only 16 of over 600 detained by ICE in Chicago area have criminal histories, records show.”

#bcstx hit 83°F Sunday: 13° above avg for Nov. 16. More like early October than mid-November.

Warmth sticks around Mon-Wed. Highs forecast to tie/break daily records.

@climatecentral.org’s Climate Shift Index shows this kind of fall warmth is now at least 2x more likely because of climate change.
