If this moves forward, federal workers caught up in a future reduction in force could lose their ability to challenge whether their firing was fair, lawful, or politically motivated. This matters because these protections exist to keep the civil service fair and based

Reminder that ICE was invented after 9/11 to terrorize people on US soil. W’s “war on terror” incl mass surveillance, even more racial profiling & aggressive policing & treating immigration as a security issue. Muslims & Brown folk perceived as such can tell you how that went. Abolish.

Trump is nothing if not ready to sacrifice anyone and anything in order to save his own ass and the single most important thing that could happen right now is someone convincing him that the biggest driver of his unpopularity is not just Bovino and Noem but Stephen Miller personally

Something I want more people to bear in mind about Linda Tirado's injuries in 2020 is how few colleagues in journalism felt moved to aggressively support her in public after she was shot by police. People need to learn from that now as journalists go into danger again, because that hurt her a lot.

It drives me crazy that this is exactly what so many of us warned about back in '02. Once you have a designation that routes around all rights and due process, it is simply a matter of time before someone with power assigns that designation indiscriminately for their own ends.
