Lawyers for ICE are increasingly hiding their identities in court. This is completely unprecedented.
“We’re not really doing names publicly,” said Judge ShaSha Xu — after stating her own name and those of the immigrants and their lawyers.

it comes to mind that wearing coordinated tshirts is quite literally a bare bones entry level tactic in union organizing, and the fact they can’t even reliably pull this off says a lot about the internal state of the caucus.
"democrats plan to color coordinate to communicate opposition" is the biggest loser shit i've ever heard. School Spirit Week-ass action. "I do not give facebook my permission"-ass action. are they hitting themselves in the head with hammers at every DNC event

This is a thread about a political influence project you’ve never heard of.
It involves the man second in line for the presidency and an evangelical pastor who’s quietly forged close relationships with some of the most powerful men in the country.

once again, republican inroads with latinos are downstream religious transformations among latino voters www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/...
For some Latinos, ‘prosperity gospel’ led them to Trump
