Threads said something about a 6pm White House announcement. Any truth to it and if so what fresh hell now?

Officials in Tennessee aren't just banning books, they're now demanding information on who checked out contested (largely LGBTQ+) books, including names, addresses, and "household composition." A librarian who was given the directive has come forward asking for whistleblower protections.

It’s time for folks at DoD and in the IC to start lawyering up. If you’re an officer or official who was forced into pushing through potentially illegal orders, get a lawyer. If you’re a soldier, seaman or airman who was forced to execute them, get a lawyer.

And as the ACIP meeting begins, we have a hot mike of the members once again having a discussion about their votes and not understanding they way they are worded. This is a time-honored tradition at this point. Here are the anticipated votes. www.cdc.gov/acip/meeting...

The time to ponder what happens if the United States becomes an authoritarian state has ended. The question now is how do we deal with the authoritarian regime already in power. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-2025...

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation. This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

Literally the authoritarian playbook: 1. Call your opponents terrorists. 2. Deploy state power against them. There's nothing subtle or confusing or complex about what's happening. The *outcome* is uncertain but the authoritarianism is right out in the open.
