Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

Wait a minute, didn't Trump used to claim that he DIDN'T have the power to deploy National Guard without local and Congressional approval. Yes, yes he did. www.kansascity.com/opinion/opn-...

Del Rio TX is among the NWS locations in which balloons launches haven't skipped a beat. Data from the Thursday evening radiosonde played a crucial role in the Weather Prediction Center & NWS San Antonio properly warning ahead of the 1-in-1000 year event (which these days happen more frequently).

Masked men with AR-15’s mounting suppressors to pick up cooks at a Mexican restaurant? This has nothing to do with detaining immigrants. It’s to terrorize us.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE.

Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it.

Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

“You see, Billy, your mom died because she couldn’t go to work during chemo and Republicans cut off her Medicaid before her cancer was cured. But Peter Thiel has a shiny new tax-free contract to mine your personal data, so that’s good.”
House Republicans’ tax bill would lead to nearly 11 million people losing insurance, providing a key source of savings to help finance President Trump’s tax cuts, the Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday. The report gives Democrats ammunition to attack Republicans for taking insurance from low-income voters to pay for tax cuts that disproportionately benefit the rich. Republicans say the bill mainly takes insurance from those without jobs who are able to work.

Among the provisions tucked into the bill House Republicans passed this week is a move to limit the power of federal judges to hold people in contempt, potentially shielding the Trump administration from the consequences of violating court orders. Here's what else the GOP slipped into the bill.

Excerpts from Mahmoud Khalil’s statement today, dictated to his lawyers from a detention center in Louisiana. The clarity of mind in the midst of such injustice—it’s so inspiring.
My name is Mahmoud Khalil and I am a political prisoner. I am writing to you from a detention facility in Louisiana where I wake to cold mornings and spend long days bearing witness to the quiet injustices underway against a great many people precluded from the protections of the law. Who has the right to have rights? It is certainly not the humans crowded into the cells here. It isn't the Senegalese man I met who has been deprived of his liberty for a year, his legal situation in limbo and his family an ocean away. It isn't the 21-year-old detainee I met, who stepped foot in this country at age nine, only to be deported without so much as a hearing. Justice escapes the contours of this nation's immigration facilities. I have always believed that my duty is not only to liberate myself from the oppressor, but also to liberate my oppressors from their hatred and fear. My unjust detention is indicative of the anti-Palestinian racism that both the Biden and Trump administrations have demonstrated over the past 16 months as the U.S. has continued to supply Israel with weapons to kill Palestinians and prevented international intervention. For decades, anti-Palestinian racism has driven efforts to expand U.S. laws and practices that are used to violently repress Palestinians, Arab Americans, and other communities. That is precisely why I am being targeted. While I await legal decisions that hold the futures of my wife and child in the balance, those who enabled my targeting remain comfortably at Columbia University. Presidents Shafik, Armstrong, and Dean Yarhi-Milo laid the groundwork for the U.S. government to target me by arbitrarily disciplining pro-Palestinian students and allowing viral doxing campaigns - based on racism and disinformation - to go unchecked. If anything, my detention is a testament to the strength of the student movement in shifting public opinion toward Palestinian liberation. Students have long been at the forefront of change - leading the charge against the Vietnam War, standing on the frontlines of the civil rights movement, and driving the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. Today, too, even if the public has yet to fully grasp it, it is students who steer us toward truth and justice. The Trump administration is targeting me as part of a broader strategy to suppress dissent. Visa-holders, green-card carriers, and citizens alike will all be targeted for their political beliefs. In the weeks ahead, students, advocates, and elected officials must unite to defend the right to protest for Palestine. At stake are not just our voices, but the fundamental civil liberties of all.

On the subject of people traveling to the US right about now: Fuck, if I were from another country and I didn't need to come, I sure as hell wouldn't, the current administration has made it clear traveling here isn't safe, and why not take them at their word, there's a whole world to visit

He is at it again. Elon has decided to drop $13 million into a state Supreme Court race. Why? Interestingly Wisconsin doesn't allow car manufacturers to own dealerships in the state and Tesla just sued them for it. Guess who will probably decide the case? New show! open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

I’m old enough to remember the Repubs in the Senate using the filibuster on things such as voting rights & reproductive rights!

The Senate Dems should hear from their constituents ahead of the vote… the R’s should be forced to negotiate & the only way is if they filibuster and hold the line.
