Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

It was a long week, but today ended with two voting rights victories in Pennsylvania and Trump's executive order targeting my old law firm being permanently blocked by a federal judge in DC.
My advice: stay hopeful, stay strong, stay informed.

FBI agents handcuffed Hilliard Toi Cliatt and pointed a gun at him and Curtrina Martin while her son cowered in a bedroom. It was the wrong house.
The Supreme Court will consider whether those impacted by such wrong-house raids can hold law enforcement officials accountable for their mistakes.

Traces of Texas reader Randell Tarin kindly sent in this 1935 photo of his father, John Henry Tarin, selling Fritos, “The New Mexican Crispie,” in downtown San Antonio for 5¢ a bag. He was 13-14 years old. Fritos made their debut in 1932, so this was just after Fritos became available. Wunderbar!
