“Would you like to request voluntary departure, or should I issue a removal order?” The judge asked.
“I don’t know,” Angel, 13, replied before bursting into tears. He stared ahead stoically and continued to cry, eventually saying: “I have no one. I have nothing.”

The sentences handed down today are a huge threat to the possibility of a democratic society. The prosecution is rife with constitutional violations, but 30 years in prison (more than anyone for January 6) for moving some magazines? 50 years in prison even for those not involved in planning the protest? The evidence of an illegal conspiracy is non-existent, but this is how the authoritarian dragnet targets those fighting against repression. Everyone should be learning about this case. theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

This legitimately shocked me. Please do listen. Any description of how offensive it is won’t do it justice.

Incredibly sad. @AdyBarkan was brilliant and funny and the most inspiring, dogged organizer I've ever met. But most of all he was a beautiful soul who was full of love and grace towards everyone he met, especially the people whose minds he never stopped trying to change. We should honor him by learning from his life.

When you start to lose Wolf Blitzer:
“Israel still dropped the bomb, knowing that a lot of innocent civilians…men, women & children would be killed?”
“You knew there were civilians there. You knew there were refugees, but you decided to drop the bomb”

There are far more nonfatal shootings than gun murders—yet police give them far less attention. For @marshallproj I spent time with a unique unit of @Denverpolice that demonstrates these "almost-cides” are every bit as solvable—and every bit as important. themarshallproject.org/2023/…

Thank you @ABC for profiling the incredible work that @GoogleOrg grantee @RainforestCx is doing using #AI to drive conservation efforts in Puerto Rico. It used to take scientists 4.5 months to identify a single species in the rainforest. With #AI, they can do it in seconds.

If only we got as outraged about stuff like this as we do about the trivial stuff in American public life.
