@SDDonovan The local library requires two independent reviews before they will consider purchasing a book. (Just a data point.)

🚨UPDATE: The U.S. veteran, who was violently assaulted and illegally arrested by ICE agents in Maryland… has been released with no charges filed.

And here’s the part that keeps getting ignored…

ICE agents claimed THEY had a video of the U.S. veteran assaulting an agent.

But when asked for the video, no video was provided, and the U.S. veteran was released without charges.

Meanwhile, there are multiple videos, and eyewitness accounts, showing the U.S. veteran being the one who was assaulted.

And this is the pattern that keeps repeating…

ICE agents use force and arrest someone without probable cause.
The agents create a narrative after the fact.
“Evidence” is claimed, but never released.
Contradictory footage, from the public, circulates.
And still no consequences for the agents involved.

Because even after all of this, the agents are still on the streets.

And the public is expected to just move on… like this is normal, like this is acceptable, like this is simply how things work now…

Instead of acknowledging the pattern that needs to be addressed, and holding agents accountable.

Esta no es una escena de una película, es el ejército de mercenarios de la Gestapo de Trump, el ICE, esta noche, en el campo de concentración para inmigrantes de Delaney Hall, secuestrando a quién protesta contra él en sus puertas.

Así se está jugando el Mundial de EEUU, no lo verás en los medios de comunicación... que si llega a ser Rusia u otro pais enemigo de ellos, estarían contándotelo hasta en braille.

@NewPopLit Do you know anybody who has read their way through a university reading list? I would look at them and go, “I’ve read that and that. Hm, maybe I’ll read that someday.” I know there are people methodical about all sorts of weird shit, so the student who reads the entire

FBI shows up to interrogate a U.S. citizen at his house—for writing an anti-ICE social media post.

"This is about comments that you posted online," said agent.

Orders homeowner to stop recording—refuses to even tell him which comments.

Craig Brittain has been actively documenting and participating in protests at the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey.

His social media posts videos of demonstrations, conflicts with agents, and calls for the facility’s closure.

I told you they were coming for the Roadless Rule.

Yesterday, Republicans made their move — and they hid it inside a wildfire bill.

Here's what makes this so enraging:

59 million acres of America's wildest national forests are now on the table.

The 2001 Roadless Rule has protected nearly 60 million acres across 39 states for 25 years. No logging. No road construction. No drilling. No mining.

Built after 1.6 million Americans showed up — at 430 public hearings nationwide — to demand it.

What lives here: bald eagles, elk, black bears, Cerulean warblers, marbled murrelets. Species that need large, intact, unfragmented habitat to survive. For many of them, roadless forests aren't just home — they're the last places left.

What the amendment does: guts the rule. Opens the backcountry to logging and road construction under the cover of "fire prevention."

The administration is pursuing repeal through the executive branch at the same time. And unlike the original rule — they aren't holding a single public hearing.

1.6 million people showed up to protect these forests.
The administration isn't asking anyone this time.

What do you call a wildfire bill that opens forests instead of protecting them?

@MatthewTMeade It’s a mess now, isn’t it? I sometimes call up mapquest which still seems to be useful.

[Glenn Ingersoll @lovesettlement]

@SintonCrane I agree. It is hard. One can develop strategies that help, like friend readers. But even strategies that work won’t work when you’re feeling down.
