REM’s “Crazy” was a #11 for me - replaced at the last minute when I found out “Superman” was also a cover 🤯 (although “Crazy” is arguably better). And Alanis’s “Crazy” was new to me but had me car dancing.💃 XPN serendipity at its best! #xpncountdown

Bray and his family tried to flee for Europe this weekend. Their tickets were mysteriously canceled right before they boarded the plane.

What we might refer to as a "Kavanaugh Stop"
WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status.
He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

For context, Lee County is the Southern most county in Iowa, basically the part that looks like a goatee on Iowa's East Coast. It's over an hour's drive from Iowa City. Trump carried 62% of the vote. Grassley is notorious for promoting events in a way that Dems don't find out.
Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?"
Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’”
“I’M PISSED!”

This is a grave and sobering admission: they are not pursuing the “WELL ACTUALLY he broke the law during protests,” they are bragging that they are deporting people for protected speech.
NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more.
The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law.
No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.
