UPDATE: “The man who impersonated ICE to intimidate the employees of a Philly auto repair center — and steal about $1,000 — will face numerous felony and misdemeanor charges…”: www.phillyvoice.com/philly-robbe...
Fake ICE agents were inevitable. How can cities be proactive about this?

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest?
Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.
Neither Neurodivergence Nor Mental Illness Made Them Bigots—They're Just Awful People
It's hard to admit your heroes are jerks, but the mentally ill and neurodivergent shouldn't be collateral damage.

Raskin: Would it be problem for it to be standard practice to conduct sensitive foreign policy on a signal chat group? It just came out that Waltz’s team set up 20 signal group chats for crises across the world… I’m sure this will raise the question on whether he should continue in that position

a thing that occurred to me about the Signal chat: since the messages are disappearing it’s plausible that Goldberg has better records of what was said than the administration does

Goldberg said the level of detail in the targeting package that he received via Signal was down to the *names of individuals* to be killed.
That’s the good stuff that includes all kinds of sources and methods and never should have been outside a SCIF.
I’d be in prison if I fucked up that bad.

Not a single person out of 18 of the very most senior officials in this Admin — including the Director of National Intelligence and the CIA Director — voiced any concern with highly classified military plans circulated on Signal.
You also can be sure this is not the only time.
