Yesterday was my sobriety anniversary, won’t say for how long because when I was first in the program people who had two whole weeks gave me hope, but I figured people with a year or more couldn’t be as alcoholic as I was. If you’re new, though, trust me: have hope.

The First Amendment protects your right to record government officials performing their duties in public. This applies to ICE agents, police, FBI, National Guard troops, and any other government officials. Learn more at aclu.org/kyr_record-
"KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: RECORDING FEDERAL AGENTS IN PUBLIC.
You have the right to photograph or film anything in plain view, including federal buildings and law enforcement, so long as you aren't trespassing or violating a lawful order.If you're not under arrest, law enforcement needs a warrant to confiscate or search your device.If you're arrested, officers still need a warrant to search your device's contents.The government may never lawfully delete your photos or videos.While the Constitution protects your right to record and helps you defend against unjustified retaliation or arrest, the exercise of this right can still carry risks.

As a proud U.S. citizen, Juana never thought she'd be zip-tied and detained by ICE for hours with her 3-year-old son, especially while attending a family-friendly event. They’re two of hundreds of people we’re defending in court for being targeted in an unlawful militarized immigration raid.
Black graphic with a quote attributed to Juana Rodriguez, ACLU client challenging an unlawful immigration raid in Wilder, Idaho: "My toddler was forced to witness an incredible amount of violence against people he loves and hear racial slurs about Latinos, experiences that no child should ever be exposed to. I'll never forget hearing his little voice pleading with me to give him food and water for hours on end."

Georgetown is on this list: When I was a professor there, I was honored to teach military officers, who were part of the best learning experiences I've ever led. Hegseth does not want education, he wants indoctrination. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/fetishizin...
For example, last summer I had a class that included both a lot of military officers and a lot of first-generation minority students. They generated an incredibly rich discourse, about the role of US power, and issues related to race and tolerance. They not just heard views they would not normally hear from peers, but actually listened. The discussion got better as the class went on, and students trusted each other more. Good discourse comes from a mutual place of trust rather than antagonism. You trust that you can say something boneheaded and that people will not hate you for it. We can ask students to do this anyway, but it can’t be forced. To some degree, trust must be earned.

Why didn’t federal agents offer aid to Renee Good or Alex Pretti after they were shot? Marimar Martinez’ attorney says it was because they were too busy waiting for an ‘atta boy’ from Greg Bovino just like agent Charles Exum got after shooting Martinez 5 times in Chicago. Wow.
"This is why after agents shot Renee Good in cold blood on the streets of Minneapolis they did not attempt to perform CPR," Parente said. "They were all checking their phones to see what reward commander Bovino was going to give them for successfully killing another protestor."Investigative materials made public Tuesday showed that after shooting Martínez five times on Oct. 4, Border Patrol Agent Charles Exum joked about it in a text chat with colleagues, was called a "legend" by one of his fellow agents, and even received praise directly from his boss, Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino, as Martínez lay badly wounded in a hospital.
