MacFarlane: Welcome back to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which has retained its very swampy, green-like color. It’s still fenced off. It’s still inaccessible. It’s still not in its best shape. It is reflecting again, but it’s almost like it’s quarantined in its green-like state.

Congress can't keep the government open, but 11 members want to tell the WNBA how to referee their games. Tell them: You don't know ball. You know deceit and distraction. Quit refereeing the WNBA, release the Epstein files, and do the job you were elected to do: bit.ly/3TaDR6h

Nicole Schneidman is sounding the alarm on the gov’s efforts to build an authoritarian surveillance apparatus. Initially built for immigration enforcement, these tools now threaten the fundamental rights of all Americans. Here’s what she told @mauriziogro.bsky.social 🔗 protdem.org/4wxtx6P
Headline: Tech oligarchs are helping DHS set up authoritarian surveillance state, report says

Quote:
The president has emboldened ICE with new, supercharged surveillance capabilities and billions in additional funding, which encourages them to brazenly act as a weaponized political force against American citizens. This is a textbook authoritarian tactic that tries to make the idea of showing up, speaking out, or organizing feel dangerous for Americans.

ICE is way too trigger-happy. In Texas, they just killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a father of three who was on his way to work. ICE needs to end its street immigration arrests and arbitrary arrest quotas, which are too often ending in death.

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

Water this dirty should never be treated like a secret. Texans have the right to speak up when something looks wrong in their community without fearing intimidation or arrest. We need clean water, transparency, and leaders willing to stand with people over the Greedy Few.
