ICE is straightforwardly a gestapo secret police now, disappearing people at the president’s personal direction for simply crossing one of his cronies

SOME PERSONAL NEWS: For the last year I’ve been working with a terrifyingly talented team to put together L.A. Material, a new local news outlet covering Los Angeles. We’re launching TODAY, so please check us out at lamaterial.com.

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

"bets made among the staff over which detainee would be next to die by suicide."

Horrific details of Trump’s abuse of an underage girl. She was interviewed by law enforcement multiple times; they believed she was credible. These pages are from 2019. Vile beyond description. Begins p 8. This should be alongside every Iran headline. justice.gov/epstein/files/…

@humanfranklin @ellie_eberlee Same, as Children's Ed. I heard a lot about "sweat equity."

@ellie_eberlee I was briefly involved as a music editor, in the first year or so. It was only months before I grasped that the model was to look for writers who didn't require payment (in practice, academics), and I was only able to squeeze one nominal payment from them myself before exiting.

stepped down as LARB’s managing editor today—the 5th senior+ editor to leave in 3 years, and the 4th staff member in 6 months. thank you to the writers for the greatest editorial privilege of my life. pay your staff and contributors. fix the way you treat people or die

We have a number of open jobs at @NOTUSreports. And I'm always looking to chat with great reporters even if there's nothing that's an obvious fit: katenocera@notus.com

Georgina was the only interviewer who asked me a single question about race in a book about America's deep south.

Hope I "crush" it when I say, go fuck yourself, your grift and your ilk. You've got serious potential to ruin everything interesting, beautiful, or fun about life. - Hanks

We went from “what good are the humanities?” to “suddenly, no one can read” in about a year, and it's no coincidence that we're suddenly awash in misinformation and lack of critical thinking. This is WHY we need the humanities. This is what they prevent.

SOUTHSIDE CHICAGO — Windy City residents run off immigration agents to save a man mid-abduction at 63rd and Kostner Ave.

ICE gestapo aggressively arrest an elected official at a hospital for daring to ask for a warrant.

🚨 ICE agents stopped a Colorado family at GUNPOINT, shattered a car window over their newborn, and ignored a mother’s screams: “There’s a baby in here!” They didn’t care. She shielded her infant from flying glass; ICE never showed a warrant, just said: “It’s at the office.” Colorado law bans ICE arrests outside courthouses. They did it anyway. No cause. No explanation. No rights. Jose Aguilera is still being held in ICE detention. His wife Maya is still waiting for a warrant. His baby could’ve been killed. But sure, tell us again how they’re the “pro-life” party.

Crowd: “She’s disabled! She needs a wheelchair!” ICE: “Yeah she’s disabled now because she fucked around!”

I'm sure this has absolutely nothing to do with $5 billion golf resort that the Trump family is building in Qatar with the support of a government-backed real estate fund. or the plane that they gifted him.
