Glad that @ericboehm87.bsky.social wrote a piece I've been meaning to write: all the times Lindsey Graham has championed surveillance far more intrusive than the phone records of his prosecutors analyzed.

Most important IMO is the way Graham championed phone dragnet.

Melissa Tran came here on a Green Card at age 11.

She's since raised 4 kids, started a business, & is a beloved member of the Hagerstown community.

Trump is deporting her, despite a judge saying she poses no threat.

Is she the "worst of the worst"? Do you feel safer yet?

Pro tip:

With Chief Judge Boasberg moving full steam ahead on finding which US officials were responsible for ordering defiance of his order...

And whistleblower most likely to testify...

Here's where this is heading in significant part:

Whistleblower Documents Implicate Emil Bove in Criminal Contempt Order by Chief Judge Boasberg
Email released by whistleblower would presumably implicate Bove in the “contumacious conduct” identified by Chief Judge Boasberg.

Thank you. I think a lack of media coverage of ICE's current violence in LA is like how so many people just assumed Flint's water was fixed.

Because if there's a deadly crisis still going on, the media would report it, right?

Just like how the media reminds people to wear respirators for Covid! 🙃
ICE has been raiding my neighborhood and surrounding ones for the last couple of weeks now. They commandeered my local church (against the pastor's will) for a staging site and raided supermarkets, parks, Goodwills, bus stops, you name it.

The national media's been silent. So has @mayor.lacity.gov.
Engagement on our updates re: ICE kidnappings/fed siege of Los Angeles is significantly lower on Bluesky compared to Twitter. Do ppl on here not care about LA anymore? Are feeds being taken over by liberal commentators? What's going on?

Community members on the ground can't do it all. We need help.

Local independent outlets like @lataco.bsky.social have been doing great work covering the ICE raids, but absent a) strong opposition from elected officials, b) acknowledgement from @mayor.lacity.gov, and c) more mainstream coverage, people will continue to be at risk.

The feds are escalating in Los Angeles. We've seen record high kidnappings and our communities are under attack. The media focus on LA has died down so electeds don't feel the need to even feign opposition.

People are out here fighting. We need all of us. Join the struggle. Defend your neighbors.
