NEW from @gregsargent.bsky.social: it sure sounds like @ICEgov is trying to stop the witnesses to the shooting of Lorenzo Araujo from speaking out. All three of the people in the van have been kept in detention and now ICE is pressuring them all to agree to be deported. /reposted with correct name

But it appears three other people were in the van with the now-deceased man, and they presumably could recount their version of what happened: the victim’s brother and two employees of the dead man’s construction business. They were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement during the encounter, and we haven’t heard from them publicly about what happened. Now, in another potentially dark turn in the saga, those three men are under pressure from immigration officials to agree to self-deport, Juan Proano, a representative for the families and CEO of the League of United Latin American Citizens, claimed in an interview with The New Republic.

Proano—who regularly confers with the family members of the victim and the three detainees and organized a press conference on their behalf earlier this week—said the family members were able to reach the three detainees, who then related this situation.

“They’re being pressured to sign self-deportation orders,” Proano told me. “They’re currently in detention. These men hold the key to what actually happened.” Under self-deportation, detained migrants agree to leave the country voluntarily within a prescribed time period.

Waking up under fascism. Having weirdly normal weeks followed by weeks defined by anxiety and panic. Back to weirdly normal. And back again. I fear for so much. So many. It's crippling.

I went to college for something I didn't really care for hoping I'd be middle class and afford healthcare because when I was 22 I fell off a bicycle and woke up 90,000 in debt pre ACA. I am livid that I'm now in my 30s and we're on the precipice of throwing the ACA out. Fuck the senate.

I keep getting ads for different dinosaur board games on Kickstarter. I can't help but feel that demand is from adults looking for reasons to play with dinosaur toys. You don't need a reason to play with dinosaur toys. Buy that stegosaurus. It's fine. We're all ending up just like them anyway.

condemnations of political violence are well taken but it does feel as if some prominent political commentators are of the view that violence isn’t a part of the history of American politics and that is very much not true.
