a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

This is petty wannabe dictator stuff. A cabinet secretary has no business unilaterally canceling visas because he doesn't like the visa holder's politics.
A stunning assault on the First Amendment
Before Rubio's confirmation, senators and pundits acted as though he was a "sane," "rational," "normal," "moderate" nominee. He's constantly showing himself to be a right-wing extremist.

In addition to everything else that is wrong with this, why aren't these men wearing uniforms? They're dressed like they just came from the skateboard park and half seem to be concealing their faces. These are terror tactics, meant to inspire a penumbra of fear beyond those directly victimized.
Not sure if this has been shared here yet, but this is video of Rumeysa Ozturk's arrest posted by WCVB. It's terrifying.
