ufw.bsky.socialWeāve heard reports of guidance for DHS to āpauseā raids on agricultural worksitesā and weāre skeptical. As long as Border Patrol and ICE are sweeping through farm worker communities making chaotic arrests like they did TODAY, theyāre still hunting down farm workers.

socialistdogmom.bsky.socialjust a reminder that only water goes in your eyes, donāt wear contacts to a protest if you can help it, hot showers will hurt like hell if you have mace or gas residue on your skin. turn off face ID on your phone. pick a buddy & never leave their side. if detained, ask for a lawyer & then shut up.

katmabu.bsky.socialIām running the type of campaign I want to see, one that encourages competitive primaries and community engagement. Thereās no room for vitriol in my campaign, including personal attacks against my opponents. We need to do better than Trump and Republicans. That starts with how we treat each other.

marisakabas.bsky.socialNEW: As a result of my story, a lawyer from the lawsuitāthe settlement of which resulted in the now-rescinded ICE warrantless arrest accountability policyāhas filed notice for judge to urgently āresolve the pending motions regarding enforcement and extension of the consent decree.ā

ufw.bsky.socialBorder Patrol is continuing raids on farm workers in Ventura County, especially Moorpark and Oxnard. Agents are circling like sharks. Farm workers in areas with heightened activity should check in on each other and take steps to stay safe. Report what you see to us.

marisakabas.bsky.socialitās quite strange that wednesday ICE employees got an email saying itās open season on warrantless arrests, as i reported (ostensibly to meet daily quotas) and then another email thursday saying heyyyy pump the breaks on arresting certain types of workers. somebodyās lying or incompetent or both.
Mike Masnick
mmasnick.bsky.socialI actually kinda dislike the framing of "bubble" or "echo chambers" because it implies a lack of access or knowledge of other viewpoints. That's not true. I think a more accurate framing is that different sites have different *cultures*. And... that's kind of normal.

pplscitycouncil.bsky.socialstatement from the WestLos Rapid Response Network re: rumors of nannies kidnapped at the park: Please rely on updates from community groups on the ground. Sometimes things spread like wildfire & itās tough to control the misinfo Always remember to ask- where did they hear this? & how do they know?
Chad Loder
chadloder.bsky.socialHey for tomorrow's protests, make sure your vehicle registration is up to date and your tag is current. Double check your headlights and tail lights. Any protective gear or even your kids' sports equipment, put it in the trunk or cover it with a blanket (see "plain view" exception).
Joshua J. Friedman
joshuajfriedman.comNEW: The govt says it will NOT release Mahmoud Khalil, since Judge Farbiarz has not explicitly ordered him released and since it has other (very minor) grounds for holding him. The govt asks that the judge stay any future order for release pending appeal. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
![The Court expressly noted that its holdings "have no impact on efforts to remove the Petitioner for reasons other than the Secretary of State's determination." ECF No. 299 at 13 n.14.
And, while the Court made a factual finding that it was unlikely that Khalil would be detained on another basis, id. at 10, the Court never held that it would be unlawful for Respondents to detain Khalil based on another charge of removability. Khalil is charged as removable on a ground other than the Secretary of State's determination. See ECF No. 90-1 at 5. Khalil is now detained based on that other charge of removability. Detaining Khalil based on that other ground of removal is lawful. & U.S.C.
Ā§ 1226(a). An alien like Khalil may be detained during the pendency of removal proceedings regardless of the charge of removability. Id. Khalil may seek release through the appropriate administrative processes, first before an officer of the Department of Homeland Security, 8 C.F.R. Ā§ 236.1 (c) (8), and secondly through a custody redetermination hearing before an immigration judge, if necessary,
8 C.F.R. SS 236.1 (d) (1), 1003.19, 1236.1(d). Khalil "must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the officer [or the immigration judge] that [his] release would not pose a danger to property of persons, and that [he] is likely to appear for any future proceeding" 8 C.F.R. Ā§ 236.1(d) (1); see 8 C.F.R. Ā§ 1003.19(d).
' If this Court does order release, Respondents respectfully request that this Court stay such an order pending appeal or at least delay its effective date for seven days so that Respondents can seek a stay from the Third Circuit. These administrative processes are the proper avenues for Khalil to seek releaseā not having a federal district court hold that the government cannot detain Khalil on a charge that the Court never found to be unlawful.

ufw.bsky.socialThis worker is thinning peach trees in Central CA. It takes skill to do this while balanced on top of a ladder. He's currently making CA min wage. It's hard to support his family on this. He's eager for harvesting to start when he could get piece rate and earn more. #WeFeedYou
Anil Dash
anildash.comOne thing to consider, when reading this excellent piece, is that every public figure you know (especially non-men) regularly gets messages from people going through delusions about interactions or reactions theyāve had with that person. That is *without* any AI prompting or feeding the delusionā¦
