Newark Mayor Ras Baraka is also there and was just arrested outside of the facility about 10 mins. ago
#BREAKING: New Jersey congressional members @RepLaMonica @RepBonnie @RepMenendez are entered Delaney Hall RIGHT NOW.
This week, Delaney Hall opened as an ICE jail w/o any oversight & against city orders to stop.
It’s pretty much just a niche community event at this point. Streamed on YouTube by about 220k viewers, which as we know would include people who tuned in for less than two minutes. youtube.com/live/aKfLvyvRs2I…
How far has Miss America fallen?
Did anyone know that the competition was last night?
Could you even watch it anywhere?
What's even more crazy is if you go to missamerica.org as of 1:25 p.m. today there isn't even anything posted about who won! Yikes @AmyArgetsinger!

I don't belong to Amazon Prime.
I do subscribe to the Washington Post, which out of years-long habit remains the first paper I open every morning, and will continue to do so, thanks to all the great journalists working there.

Post reporters had no part in this decision. But when you cancel, you are hurting us, not our owner.

Some folks are going to want their @washingtonpost subscriptions back to read this one:

Flashback to the time I spent hours making a gif of the perfect Kristofferson moment. I don’t really know how to make gifs but the people who do haven’t devoted enough attention to him.
A friend once reported seeing Dame Maggie in a long, fond, conversation with Keith Richards at the Golden Globes -- which seemed surprising, but shouldn't have been. Two pace-setting geniuses of Swingin' London. Of course they had a lot to talk about. washingtonpost.com/obituarie…
Highly recommend the @jeremymbarr story on the Tucker Carlson variety roadshow. washingtonpost.com/style/med…

I wasn't aware of JD Souther until he turned up in an insane Eagles 6-hr documentary, where Don Henley reverently cited him for declaring that "time passes, things change."
I began to realize the Eagles might be in on the joke and hate them a lot less. washingtonpost.com/obituarie…

Neil was a terrific, thoughtful writer and leader and a wonderful person. He contributed so much to @wsj over so many years, as a colleague, mentor and friend to many.
