UPDATE ON BARBARA MARQUES: ICE is attempting to deport her tomorrow despite a federal court reopening her case. Deporting her now would be illegal under federal law but ICE is trying to do it anyway. Please flood these offices with calls to uphold the law and stop Barbara’s illegal deportation.
![BARBARA IS SCHEDULED TO BE ILLEGALLY DEPORTED TOMORROW!
WE MUST CALL LOUISIANA NOW!
Mike Johnson (337) 423-4232
Bill Cassidy (318) 448-7176, (337) 261-1400
John Kennedy (337) 269-5980
"Hello, my name is [YOUR NAME]. I am calling about Barbara Marques, currently detained in Louisiana. A federal court has officially acknowledged a motion to reopen Barbara's case. This means she has legal protection from deportation until the judge rules. Deporting her now would be illegal under U.S. law. Despite this, ICE has scheduled her deportation for
1969
tomorrow and already moved her to the Alexandria staging facility. This action violates the law and must be stopped. I am demanding that you intervene immediately, contact ICE, and ensure Barbara is returned to the South Louisiana facility while her case is pending.
Please do your duty to uphold the law and stop this unlawful deportation."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wqv5vk4nvsxcfarrpi2xcqbc/bafkreidmpssx4dpn4sq7hawjqhwuwu5dm3vplbssm6hu6mdxiib4l6q6qy@jpeg)

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries.
He said this out loud.

Violence is never justice. I condemn it without caveat. But condemning an act of violence does not mean canonizing the person who was killed. Compassion for the family does not mean sainthood for the father. Mourning does not mean whitewashing the movement he built.

I have read Trump’s “war department” EO.
This is nothing. He changed nothing. He added pretend secondary titles with no power under the law.
He will make the government spend hundreds of millions for vanity labeling purposes.
If you’re in the media and you don’t harp on that, you’re failing.

why did the NYT print - repeatedly - that Harvard was about to settle for some gargantuan sum? Will they run a retraction on those stories? Discipline the reporters who reported inaccurate information to their readers? Out the sources who lied to them?
Trump's effort to bring Harvard "to heel" runs aground, at least temporarily.
