At least 32 people have died at the hands of ICE and Border Patrol so far in 2026. These are their names.
I wrote about ICE killings and the normalization of mass incarceration and police violence.
In 2026, at least 32 people have died so far at the hands of ICE and Border Patrol—more than one person a week, on pace to break all records. [Link in comments]

Here’s Tom Homan admitting that the federal government is arresting people regardless of their immigration status. They don’t even care—they’re just trying to cause maximum pain to immigrant communities.

This is great. I just wish I could finally figure out why my first-year Lightning still can't get the Blue Cruise update. Two dealerships and $7,000 later, it still hasn't come.

This is awesome. I’ve been trying to see how to get Claude on my screen forever. Imagine using cowork and Claude code there. Phew

Man. I am so happy that I ran into this today. I have been trying to work on / dream up something to help a subset of a community for years. Just couldn’t scale. With AI I’ve been jumping back at the problem.

They are now hiding the Flock ALPR cameras in speed display trailers.
For your safety of course.

Sounds like @SenatorCollins is gearing up to be "Concerned"
The United States military is one of the greatest meritocracies in the free world; we need to make sure that it stays that way.
Today, I pressed Secretary Hegseth on the alarming number of senior generals and admirals who were removed from their positions or blocked from promotions. More than half of these service members were female or black. For the first time in more than a decade, no active-duty female naval officers are likely to be promoted to admiral.
Reports that women and people of color are disproportionately fired or sidelined create the impression that their service is not valued. This will discourage well-qualified women and people of color from joining our Armed Forces, depriving us of their talent, dedication, and patriotism.

Border Patrol pulls over a 20-year-old in Slidell, LA for “white lights on the back of your vehicle… your reverse lights are on the whole time.”
Then, before writing a single ticket, the agent asks: “What’s your citizenship?”
The driver, Alan Laureano, was born in Slidell. His passenger — his 13-year-old stepbrother — was born in Pearl River, Louisiana. Both are U.S. citizens.
Didn’t matter. Twice, on camera, the agent tells Laureano he’s going to “check” the kid and “if he’s illegal, I will take him.”
He tries to open the 13-year-old’s car door himself. Laureano locks it and rolls the window down instead.
The agent then interrogates the child directly — full name, spelling, date of birth, birthplace — while Laureano stands his ground and refuses to hand over his own ID, telling the agent he doesn’t have the right to stop him over a taillight.
Immigration attorney Michael Gahagan reviewed the video and called it what it is: “an illegal detention.” Border Patrol isn’t authorized to detain someone over a traffic violation — they need independent reasonable suspicion of an immigration violation, and that has to come first, not get invented after the stop.
DHS’s after-the-fact statement claims the stop was based on “reasonable suspicion or probable cause of federal law violations” — but doesn’t say what that violation was. WWL Louisiana asked twice. No answer either time.
This is the pattern: pretext stop, pivot to citizenship, threaten a kid with removal before confirming anything. It only looks “routine” until you’re the one being asked to prove you belong in the country you were born in.

Thx. 16 books on photoshop/lightroom stuff. At least I can do -this- . I also don’t like falling down rabbit holes - but that line stood out. Going to ask some folks about it and see what they think.

Just saw your message about the #McConnell pic. Figured i'd share what I saw. Nothing definitive, but just my thoughts at first glance. Hope it helps.

Dear @cnn . All of this.
The fact that Scott Jennings has not been fired over his bald-faced lie about having a 20 minute conversation with Mitch McConnell... this tells us all we need to know about unwatchable cable news channel CNN.
