Ok, Baltimore, time to find an indoor home for Mr. Rogers!
He's been living in our guest room and wandering around the house for two weeks now, and he's had all his shots and has been treated for parasites. He has immaculate manners, no spraying, and just wants lots of scritches and playtime.

"We must all defend targeted communities as though we are defending our own freedom and our own families, because those are the actual stakes. There are no tidy divisions between us that will ultimately be respected. The lawless spectacle will continue, and it must be resisted." -- Kelly Hayes
My weekly curated list of must-read articles and a breakdown of Trump's lawless use of deportation and rendition—and some thoughts on what those practices mean for us all.
Must-Reads and Some Thoughts on Deportations, Renditions, and Dictatorial Collaborations
While pundits fixate on whether Trump will openly defy court orders, his administration continues to violate them, ignoring rulings and telling one story in court and another in public.

Reports of ICE raids, & at least one detention, in Northern Virginia. Don't open the door if ICE knocks, check for a warrant signed by a judge, & don't answer questions without a lawyer are among your rights, regardless of citizenship. If you're a bystander, you can remind people. More tips here:

Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste.
