1) Limitations on how many firearms one person can own 2) Launching a national firearms registry and 3) Implementing a gun buyback program. Meanwhile, after 393 mass shootings in the U.S. all we get are more thoughts and prayers. It doesn’t have to be this way.

In 1967, this same synagogue was bombed by the KKK after its rabbi publicly supported the Civil Rights Movement. Nearly 60 years apart. Same white supremacist playbook.

As a Black Jew, moments like this remind me why an intersectional lens is critical. This synagogue has long been a symbol of Black and Jewish solidarity. As both the only synagogue in Jackson and the largest synagogue in Mississippi, it carries tremendous symbolic weight.

Incredible scoop! Career officials inside the Trump administration first viewed the case of Mr. Abrego like any normal case of a wrongful deportation — they began looking for ways to bring him back, as happens normally when ICE makes mistakes. Then the White House got involved, and blew it up.
Late last month, three days after Abrego Garcia’s family filed its lawsuit over his deportation, government attorneys began discussing how to undo the mistake and bring him back. In their conversations, officials went so far as to float the idea of having the U.S. ambassador to El Salvador make a personal appeal to the country’s president for Abrego Garcia’s return. But first, the State Department’s legal team wanted more information from DHS about his alleged role in the MS-13 gang. The thin evidence supplied in response was met with skepticism from the State Department lawyers. Abrego Garcia, who came to the United States illegally when he was 16 years old, was one of 23 Salvadorans deported on March 15. But his name had not appeared on an internal list of 10 gang members sought by President Nayib Bukele.
Attorneys at DHS had other concerns. They were aware that, six years ago, a judge had granted Abrego Garcia protected status over fears that he could be targeted for violence should he be returned to El Salvador. That protection was still in effect and had been violated by the March 15 deportation. They wanted to know if U.S. diplomats could ask the Salvadoran government to keep him separated from Barrio 18 gang members who had threatened him in the past and might harm him.

Amphicyon ingens, not a bear, not a dog, but a bear dog. The extinct carnivoran had powerful jaws - check out the sagittal crest atop the skull for jaw-closure muscle attachments - and tracks made by such a beast have been found in the 19-13 million year old layers of CA’s Barstow Formation. 🧪
