Asking people to understand that American dominance in women's soccer is a byproduct of Title IX, which helped foster high-level women's sports in this coontry, in stark contrast to most of the reat of the world. It's a systemic, structural thing we should be proud of.

This is bad, y'all. He's holding actual bi-partisan-passed legislation to force passage of the terrible SAVE Act that will literally prevent millions of people, especially women,from being able to vote. Call your senators & reps—don't give in.

Then-Attorney General Robert H. Jackson warned his fellow prosecutors long ago of the
danger of picking the person first and the crime second. “Therein is the most dangerous power of
the prosecutor: that he will pick people that he thinks he should get, rather than pick cases that
need to be prosecuted.” Robert H. Jackson, The Federal Prosecutor, 31 J. Crim. L. & Criminology

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine. My latest @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/ice-is...
Early planning documents reviewed by WIRED describe a statewide transport grid designed for steady detainee transfers across Texas, with ICE estimating each trip to average 100 miles. Every county would have its own small, around-the-clock team of contractors collecting immigrants from local authorities deputized by ICE. It is a subtle transfer of the physical custody process into the hands of a private security firm—authorized to carry firearms and perform transport duties “in any and all local, county, state, and ICE locations.”
