Federal agents opened fire during an immigration enforcement operation after a man “struck two CBP officers with his vehicle.” But the family said they drove away out of fear for their safety after masked men emerged from unmarked cars with weapons drawn before smashing their truck’s windows.

A very smart friend of mine has introduced me to the concept of “moral injury.” It sure does help describe the national trauma we are all experiencing. Which is a crucial step toward finding a way to produce the change we so urgently need. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

I once wrote an entire book about how officials during Trump 1.0 worked behind the scenes to contain his malevolence and lunacy. The last chapter was a warning about how if re-elected he would work tirelessly to get rid of people and other guardrails that could contain him or had done so.

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use.
Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.
Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.
Funny how that works, huh?

The number of gun trace requests from the Mexican government went up 25% between 2021-2023.
Investigators found that 76% of those guns were sold in Southwest border states, Texas and Arizona.
Most ended up in crime scenes in Mexican provinces besieged by transnational criminal organizations.
