It is as strong a principle as exists in constitutional law that the government may not single out people or groups for worse treatment based on their viewpoints. It’s virtually never ok. U.S. Investigated Left-Leaning Groups During Minnesota Immigration Crackdown www.nytimes.com/2026/08/13/u...

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Sunday’s UFC fight at the White House “is not just a garish spectacle,” Jamelle Bouie writes; “it is an expression of the president’s contempt for the ritual and symbolism of American democracy — which is just another way to say, his contempt for democracy itself.”

Impact is the good news of investigative journalism. That's why I'm so proud of this: A Utah legislator was moved to sponsor a bill — now a law — after a @sltrib.com - @propublica.org investigation that showed how polygraphs can retraumatize sexual abuse victims. @jessicamiller.bsky.social

An immigration judge has ordered the removal of Liam Consejo Ramos, a Minnesota toddler who was detained by ICE. The politics of citizenship might seem like the detail that distinguishes Liam’s story from the stories of our kids. But his innocence, like the innocence of all kids, is unimpeachable.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.
Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. trib.al/9Sxu9IN

It’s idiots like Florida’s surgeon general who advocates “know the risks “ in a state where raw milk is not to be sold for human consumption, who set the table for these tragedies.
A woman who was 20 weeks pregnant fed her toddler son raw milk. He contracted Campylobacter and then passed the infection to her; she progressed to sepsis, and had a miscarriage. She is suing the business that sells the raw milk, saying she didn’t know the risk. Don’t feed your kids raw milk.

Hey, USA, here’s the leader of Health and Human Services, allowing parasitic lampreys to bite his arms, presumably to let the bad humours out and make him healthier than a normal human. We’ll all soon be issued personal lampreys instead of health care. www.dailymail.co.uk

One thing is quickly becoming clear about “Alligator Alcatraz,” the immigrant detention camp Florida just opened in the middle of the Everglades: The politicians running the place are bigger lawbreakers than many of the immigrants they’re locking up. jasongarcia.substack.com/p/alligator-...
