If executive branch creates a system so that people under government control can be located and then just stops listing some people in that system — despite their still being under government control — that should be a five-alarm fire for the other branches, the states, and the public.
NEW: @apnews.com confirms that ICE has begun electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal. As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.
Like a lot of American financial scandals, we really are trying not to hold the bag when this all collapses. We can’t keep operating in a framework that only focuses on the short term. Anyway, this is fantastic and worth the read!
A few weekends ago I went to Miami and attended 9 open houses in extremely high-risk flood areas to see what agents are telling prospective buyers about them. Here is my journey

Hugely fun and funny take on JK Rowling's denials that her advocacy for women to be protected from the acceptance of trans people by society by @alyssaur.bsky.social. The humble social media manager who made this post laughed out loud and so will you! assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...
I’ve lived in the area almost all of my life and can confirm, DC rocks. Adding items that are good: Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens Ethiopian Places Anacostia River Trail Lost Generation Brewery Rockville Soup Dumplings Eastern Market Hillwood Estate
anyway it is strongly my preference to talk about things in DC that are GOOD. people should still visit! literally write to me if you have a trip coming up and don't know what to do, tell me who you're traveling with and your favorite types of food and i'll help you have so much fun in my hometown

My timeline is full of love and grief for Dolly. If you’re like me and came late to an appreciation of her then I’d recommend the podcast below to get a glimmer of why people are taking this so hard. I avoid hero worship of celebrities. But Dolly was a real one.

What a stupendously colossal waste of money from an absolute ghoul
RFK Jr. asked the National Institute of Health to dedicate $5 billion (!) to finding a link between vaccines and autism. "That would have dedicated more than a tenth of the NIH’s annual budget to investigating a hypothesis already refuted by scientists worldwide."

The best story ICE could make up, after 12 hours, is that ICE agents shot someone in the head because they believed the person they shot, who was not accused of any crime, was a different person also not accused of any crime, and so "public safety" required killing them on the spot.
It took DHS 12 hours to come up with this statement, And the best they could come up with is that ICE shot and killed an unarmed man who didn’t present a threat to the agents. They know they fucked this one up. And it’ll be up to state and local prosecutors—not the feds—to make the case

once again saying: Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
Security camera footage obtained from local businesses showed individuals who are believed to be U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers surrounding a car and pulling the driver onto the street, in events connected to the fatal shooting of a man in a coastal town in Maine on July 13.

RIP Bonnie Tyler. And RIP Tandi Iman Dupree. This remains the best stage entrance by a drag queen of all time, even some 25 years later, and the best use of Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero” ever. youtu.be/IHQA5vqn6rw?...

Every time this goes around I’m stunned that there are still people who’ve never seen it, this performance is to drag what the Mona Lisa is to paintings, but maybe you’ve never seen the Mona Lisa, so today is the day you shall behold it

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.
ICE is surging in the Seattle area. (Map shows activity in the last week) Do you have your whistle with you?

THE US HAVING A WHITES-ONLY REFUGEE POLICY SHOULD BE A MUCH BIGGER STORY
BREAKING: in June 2026, *every single one* of the 1,062 refugees admitted in the U.S. were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 7,727 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November), and nobody else. For reference, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees in 2024.
