    The return to the Gilded Age continues as ICE detention centers have become a spawning ground for consumption, AKA tuberculosis. It goes without saying that ICE isn't doing what it takes to prevent this. @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social has the disturbing story: prospect.org/health/2025-...

    A man understandably refused to hand over his ID or get out of the car for a bunch of masked thugs who refused to identify themselves.

    And when he drove away, they opened fire on him.

    This isn’t how you do any sort of enforcement when your goal is to uphold the law. This is gangsterism.

    New— Nazis with giant swastika flags marched in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday with two police escorts. They shouted “white power” and said to the woman who took this video (reshared here with her permission) “fuck you, n***** bitch.”

    Police did not intervene. I cannot find local news coverage.

    For real, though, imagine if Obama had promised to end an invasion in 24 hours, flailed for six months and then, after a failed summit, Michelle had sent the aggressor a letter saying “pretty please.”

    One measure of the general air of lawlessness is that political officials are making big decisions like closing down agencies and firing all employees despite not holding the formal positions that would allow them to.

    Kari Lake has sought to dismantle Voice of America and its federal parent, the U.S. Agency for Global Media. The agency has recently called her its acting CEO. But the law suggests she's not eligible ...

    Is Kari Lake a CEO? Her agency said so. The law suggests not

    The silence on Epstein is exactly what he wants. We have to keep asking about it.

    The FBI reported that fully 43 cities in those three states , Ohio, South Carolina , and West Virginia, had higher rates of violent crime in 2024 than did D.C. Or maybe the lesson here is that this isn’t really about crime at all.
