More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

A friend of mine who lives in Austin saw this at a bar and said she had never been so offended by something she 100% agreed with.

Casar: "This idea of fining legislators -- and now I'm starting to hear about the governor or the speaker of the house trying to expel lawmakers from office -- is deeply unconstitutional and it is part of a worrying trend ... it's the kind of authoritarian thing that we think about in other nations"

Newsom will move to redraw California map if Texas redistricts, teeing up national fight
The governor plans to go through the Legislature to usher in a map with more Democratic seats if Texas tilts its map to the right, according to a person with knowledge of Newsom’s thinking.

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

When someone says you’re photogenic, I can’t help but think they’re actually saying you’re ugly IRL but okay in pics 😭
