ICE sprayed a one-year-old in the face with pepper spray.

The child and parents are US citizens, but that doesn't even matter.

These monsters pepper-sprayed a baby.

We cannot allow ICE to continue this behavior, and they aren't going to reform themselves.

Religion note: Remember that pastor who was arrested protesting an ICE detention facility outside Chicago recently? The one who was photographed on the ground as officers arrested him?

That's Rev. Michael Woolf, and this is his church.

There should be a German word for white men who cannot conceive of possibility they'll be held accountable for their own actions.

The New Yorker has just released next week's cover. "Remote Control," by Barry Blitt, captures "Donald Trump's unprecedented series of attacks on the media, destruction of federal programs, and abuses of executive power that have ushered in a new era of political vengeance."

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?"

Turns out, mom was right.

NEW: A federal appeals court tossed out a redistricting lawsuit filed by tribes in ND, saying they weren't allowed to bring a suit under the VRA — only the DOJ can.

That's just the tip of the iceberg of really escalating threats against Native voters.

Must-read, quite distressing reporting:
“A Law Without a Way to Enforce It” - Bolts
In North Dakota as elsewhere, Native voters face a triple threat: judges targeting the VRA, Trump officials hostile to discrimination laws, and a funding crunch depleting their work.

Watching John Oliver and I gotta say, the part on conservatives complaining about being censored is great.

Conservatives are censored the same way I censor my dog by making her shit in the yard instead of on the couch.
