this is all to say that should democrats win the house and senate this november, they should hold similarly dramatic — which is to say televised and highly publicized — hearings on the conduct of ICE and CBP, with testimony from victims. we want as much of *this* as possible in the record. (3/?)

ICE detained Arlit Maria Martinez on her way to work. 2 days later, her 15 yo son died of cancer. They wouldn't let her out to say goodbye. The family had planned to move back to Mexico prior to the cancer diagnosis but stayed for his treatment. Now, Mr Martinez has lost his wife to ICE & his son.

My advice to all of my readers: WAIT to send in your passport update right now. As soon as we get class certification, which I will announce to all of my readers, that will be your time to rocket speed submit your passport applications. Right now, you should likely wait.

1. In a landmark ruling, a federal judge has blocked the passport ban for transgender Americans... government ban likely violates equal protection, and is made with animus. Though the ruling only applies to plaintiffs, it is expected expand in coming weeks. Subscribe to support my journalism.

h3’s parody lawsuit was part of what inspired me to go to law school, seeing how they have gone from that to bullying smaller content creators is so sad. The BDS list iDubbz made was spot on. h3 totally does the classic rich guy “im going to sue you!!!!” to ppl they know they can out-pay.
