The federal government’s own records show that they're lying about who they're locking up and abusing in Delaney Hall. It's time for the Trump administration to stop violently detaining our friends, loved ones, and neighbors.

Funny how after every SCOTUS ruling striking down some protection from government abuse, the officials those protections restrained — cops, prosecutors, Republican state electeds — immediately start acting in the precise manner SCOTUS assured us they no longer do.

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

I guess FIFA is going to have to take back that peace prize.

There was a lot of talk among civil society folks between Trump terms about “tyrant-proofing” the presidency, and basically none of those reforms happened. But it looks like Trump is having much more success at doing the opposite—“freedom-proofing” the country in ways that will be very hard to undo…

When Republicans elect their people, they’re not running their best. They’re not running you. They’re not electing you. They’re electing people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.…

This is why we keep saying: keep filming ICE. Recording law enforcement in public is completely legal as long as you are not obstructing. As a career public defender, I can tell you: video evidence matters. Footage from today is likely to become central evidence in the prosecution of the agent.

horlief: the feeling of relief one feels when a tragedy is targeted at an individual instead of at the masses, followed by the horror of feeling relief after what is still a tragedy. Example: Horlief set in when he realized the shooter was targeting just one teacher instead of the whole school.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

Is politics weighing on you? Does it ever make you feel alone, like "everyone" is on board with awful things and "no one" cares (or close)? Then you should go to a No Kings protest. That feeling isn't uncommon, but it's a trick. Go be around some of the many people who agree with you. You'll see.

Have you heard of tactical frivolity? It’s one of my favorite forms of protest. Tactical frivolity is what happens when you use humor, costumes, and joy to make power look ridiculous. 🪩🐔🐸 🧵 1/x

Cory Booker ending his record-breaking speech on the Senate floor: “Let's get in good trouble." What a fantastic way to cap off his epic 25 hour and 5 minute speech. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Senator Cory Booker just broke Strom Thurmond’s record of 24 hours and 18 minutes for the longest solo speech in Senate history. Thurmond used it to block civil rights — Booker used it to fight for justice. The arc of history bends, but only because people pull it. Thank you, @booker.senate.gov.

Dear @propublica.org and @texastribune.org: I have a Texas lawyer approached by agents and accused of “obstruction” for pro bono immigration advice. Might be a good story. Reach out if you are interested.
