Ellis repeatedly accuses multiple CBP and ICE officials of lying (under oath) and says their "widespread misrepresentations call into question everything" they "say they are doing in their characterization of what is happening." She broadly discredits their testimony as objectively false.
U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis just handed down the written opinion version of her preliminary injunction order, regarding use of force by federal agents in Chicago.
It's the one already put on hold by the 7th Circuit.
It's 233 pages.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

That “working class” is a transparently race and gender coded term tells you who pundits view as low and middle income workers and what type of work they believe “counts” among this group.
Reality: the working class is predominantly White women and racial minorities in the low wage service sector.

Literally the only thing I missed about living NOVA was access to the Ethiopian places in DC. Found a brilliant place when I moved to RVA but they closed a bit back (RIP Nile) - this is good reminder to go back to Buna Kurs here in RVA and try Addis as well!!!

This is exactly the kind of thing that Timothy Snyder is talking about in the essay I reposted earlier this week.
Stephen Miller: "If you can't see that since we've taken office, there's been an organized, systemitized campaign to delegitimatize, dehumanize, threaten, impede, obstruct, and physically assault ICE officers in their duties, then I can't persuade you of it."

That this administration is mobilizing ANG from states largely controlled by Rs to states largely controlled by Ds is incredibly alarming. It’s not just the misuse of the ANG…yeah it’s alarming.
This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.
