Hey, remember when you were asking for the definition of non-sequitur?

The Trump admin said that ICE would scale back on community arrests if states complied with its deportation agenda. But data show that was a false promise. ICE's assault on communities has only gotten worse, even for states that do collaborate with the federal agency:

Trend chart showing ICE arrests from Oct. 2024 - July 2026, with spikes in Jan 2025 after Trump's inauguration; in April 2025 after the White House set an arrest quota; and a surge throughout summer 2026. Thanks to local collaboration, ICE arrested many people from local jails, police stations, and prisons.

Tell me again why private industries should be allowed to externalize the costs of climate pollution on the rest of us?

#BAAJA is backed by the White House, the Oil & Gas Association and the Corporate Energy Buyers Association (the trade association of hyperscaler companies) because it will hyperaccelerate dirty-energy data center development.

Does this look like "law enforcement" to you?

The bullet-still-lodged-in-body is becoming ICE’s calling card. It happened in Austin too.

The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.

What a strange story. California woman finds a man, allegedly drunk, sleeping on her lawn early in the morning & sends her dad out to move him. The man wakes up & allegedly assaults the (elderly) dad, who shoots him

Turns out the man is off-duty ICE agent David Gonzalez abc7.com/story/off-du...

"Cooperative ownership, forged through tenant organizing, has created a real cultural asset for the entire community. The walls of the buildings are now painted with murals, each one representing one value of the cooperative: justice, dignity, fight, empathy, and unity."

The takeaway from Bo French suggesting Asian students are “foreigners” and the tepid GOP response is that the Trump-era Republican Party is increasingly explicit about its belief that the only good immigrants, and the only real Americans, are white. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

The Afrikaner policy is illuminating, because it proves the catch-22 facing nonwhite immigrants: If you are poor, you are a moocher, and if you are gainfully employed, you are taking a job from a hardworking American. The only way to be a good immigrant is to be white and Christian.

Bo French, who is running for a seat on the Texas Railroad Commission, has taken this idea a step further, suggesting that the only way to be an American is to be white and Christian.

Meet Commander Geordi La Forge (fka Lightning). He's approximately 10 months old and I think ~45 pounds. Volunteers at the shelter thought he was a Belgian Malinois mix but I think he might be German Shepherd / Australian Cattle Dog / Pitbull? / 100% good boy.

A black and brindle teenaged, medium-sized dog with pointy ears, lying down on some gravel-covered ground and looking introspective.

Congrats to the mainstream media for completely normalizing this.
