Friday morning, I was gardening when I checked my phone. A request had gone out for help. For 25+ hours, ICE had been laying siege to a quiet neighborhood in Frederick, MD. Community members were afraid, some didn’t want to leave their homes. ICE vehicles seemed to be lurking on every corner.

ICE vehicle - black Nissan Maxima with plate cover - posted up in a spot that also serves as an elementary school bus stop.

Another ICE vehicle, black Dodge Durango, lurking around the community.

Two more ICE vehicles - black Dodge Durango and a white SUV, unclear on make, model - on a quiet residential street, being quietly creepy. Note that the white SUV has its plate covered.

Yet another ICE vehicle. Black Nissan Pathfinder. They were all over the neighborhood.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

257. The Commission recommends that all Member States:
(a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip;
(b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide;
(c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law;
(d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide;
(e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court:
(a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants;
(b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.

We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life

Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

Our politics seems to be entering a phase of "right supremacy" where only the lives of right-wingers have value. Assassinating the leader of a state legislative body in her own damn home was business as usual, but all of America has to have a reckoning if it's a far-right online influencer.

About ten days ago, Fox News interviewed several of the DOGE dweebs, with Edward ‘Big Balls’ Coristine front and center. The story that Fox paired with the interview featured Coristine’s most recent work in highly sensitive Treasury payment systems…and wait, WTF?? www.foxnews.com/media/doge-e...

Fox News screenshot. It reads:

“Watters asked Coristine about his latest work within DOGE and what he’d uncovered. He said that he’s been looking through US treasury department payment computers and finding a multitude of outgoing payments from the federal government that include no details about who they’re going to and why.

“So one of our initiatives is to root out fraud and waste and to do that we started looking at the payment computers and as mentioned earlier, there’s no accounting of what payments actually go to in the payment computer he said.

We must expect and demand that the executive branch follow the law. We must expect and demand that the executive branch comply with court orders. To expect and demand anything less is a form of obeying in advance. Defeatism is a form of surrender.

Acting like they wont equally just ignore an arcane statute as opposed to a SCOTUS order is willfully ignorant.

A statute is actually just a piece of paper, and as such cannot force anything at all to happen, let alone force powerful people to do something they dont want to do

Very cool, what happens when the administration says "nah?"
Y'all don't get it. Until there's actual consequences for these people NOTHING will happen. NO laws will help us unless they're backed with force of some kind.

The Judciary has no enforcement arm, the DOD, DOJ, and Federal Marshall service works for and takes orders from The Executive. The Court can't force The Executive to do anything at all. It's time we start using the correct language.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

NEW: Rümeysa Öztürk says she's had 4 painful asthma attacks in ICE custody, and not only is her asthma going untreated but a nurse tore off her hijab, saying, "You need to take that thing off your head." www.aclum.org/sites/defaul...

38. Once they finally took me to the medical center, the nurse took my temperature. She said "you need to take that thing off your head" and took off my hejab without asking my permission. I told her you can't take off my hejab and she said this is for your health. After a few minutes I put my hejab back on. But they did nothing to treat my asthma and gave me a few ibuprofen.
39. I had a third asthma attack at the Louisiana facility. Again, this happened in the cell and other woman knocked on the window to get the attention of the officers. I was told that the nurse would come to the cell to see me. She took me outside for a short bit and told me that it was all in my mind. She finally took me to the medical center but I was not treated for my difficulty breathing. The nurse left the room and didn't answer my questions
40.I had a fourth asthma attack on Wednesday March gth around noon. I used my inhaler and waited for it to pass. I was in pain and very scared but I didn't ask to go to the medical center because I don't feel that they address my medical needs.
41. I don't feel safe at the medical center because of my prior experiences there.
They complain when I go there and speak to me in an insulting and condescending manner. They also write information in my medical records that is not accurate. The doctor and nurses there are rude and uncaring.

Trump told America he had a deal with far-right El Salvadoran dictator Nayib Bukele to temporary hold U.S. deportees for a fee. Now we know that was a lie. Trump told Bukele he'd _sell_ him bodies to _own_—to be housed in his massive prison (CECOT) until death. America is back in the slave trade.

I understand that the confirmation vote could be forced if Booker did not retain the floor. I am not downplaying what he did. My question is, the NATO ambassador vote was able to happen because no one denied unanimous consent. Why couldn't one other Dem deny unanimous consent?
