i said a few times here and there before the election that we’ll see what the mass deportation plan looks like when it’s ICE agents dragging grandmothers out of churches and, well, here we are
Minutes ago, the Trump admin revoked the sensitive locations policy that prevented ICE from carrying out enforcement arrests inside churches, hospitals, and schools.

“Putin faces a war-trilemma: he’s prioritized military spending at the expense of the rest of the economy, worsening inflation and underfunding key sectors. Problems are accumulating—but their full impact will take time to surface. But for now, he is far from being cornered.”
“Russia’s economic challenges are not yet so acute that they will make a meaningful difference in the war in the near term,” writes Alexandra Prokopenko. “For at least the next year, the Kremlin should be able to keep its overheating economy from exploding into a full-blown crisis.”

Si la migra te para, recuerda que tienes derechos. No hables sobre su estado migratorio o firme ningún documento sin hablar con su abogado. Tienes el derecho a quedar callado, y tienes el derecho a un abogado que te represente.

Shah Alam works outside Sotheby’s, shares a basement in the Bronx, and works 12-hour shifts at the fruit stand.

Last Wednesday, he sold a banana that would soon be duct-taped to a wall and auctioned as part of a work of art. When Alam was told the sale price, he began to cry.
