This policy is entirely designed to funnel immigrant delivery drivers to ICE. It's a fascist deportation program.

So Trump fired Mike Waltz-presumably because of the Signal group chat fiasco And replaced him with Marco Rubio-who was in that same Signal group chat Despite the fact that Rubio also defends deporting US citizens That’s what we call “failing up” And in the worst possible way

When President Trump attacks the legal profession, he's attacking our right to representation. But good lawyers will not back down in the face of these threats.
A brown graphic with white and blue text reading "This is a defining moment for the legal profession. Some firms apparently believed that they could hand the bully their lunch money just once and be done with it. But that’s not how Faustian bargains work. Mr. Trump will be coming back to those firms, again and again, to demand further surrender and degradation. All of us will be judged by what we did — and did not do — in this moment. It’s not too late for these lawyers to reverse course and to defend the best values of our profession." The quote is attributed to Ben Wizner, Director of the ACLU Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project.

In a move that raises very serious First Amendment issues, ICE executed a major splashy operation in California aiming to arrest a guy for posting fliers with names, pictures, and apparent phone numbers for ICE HSI agents. I am struggling to think what possible law posting that info could violate.

Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_
NEW: Homeland Security Investigations & U.S. Secret Service served a criminal search warrant in an upscale Irvine neighborhood this morning, targeting the suspect they believe was responsible for posting fliers w/ the names, photos, phone numbers, & locations of ICE agents in SoCal in February. The target wasn’t home, and an arrest wasn’t made.

We are told he lives at home with his parents, and was previously arrested at UC Irvine during an on-campus Pro-Palestinian protest.

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons was on scene for the operation, telling me he took it personally that someone would try to put a target on his agents in an effort to interfere with them and put them at risk. Says person responsible will be held accountable.

We will not be identifying the target unless an arrest is made.

PHOTOS: Underneath are four splashy media photos from the operation.Picture of the flier, which has photos of four people, along with their names and phone numbers for some of them (which Fox News redacted), which a message in Spanish saying that these individuals are working in Southern California to carry out immigration arrests, accusing them of terrorizing local communities and kidnapping residents, and saying many people have died while in jails, prisons, and detention centers.

I think I’m going to have to give up on people understanding that “widespread, regular famine” is in fact a bigger problem than additives in food that help us feed people.
A quote: “Make your own food from fresh ingredients. Problem solved.”

The thing being quoted is me saying: I just ran into someone doing the whole “don’t eat a thing if your great-grandparents wouldn’t recognize it as food” and I’m begging people to know a little food history and understand how far back you have to go to find food without additives.
