Fake news, literally.

Dear registered voters, When was the last time you checked your registration status and verified your current name and address? You can find the links you need to do that at npr.org/vote

Must read from @jamellebouie.net this morning.

ICE desperately wants you not to care about this story But we must. The killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national striving for his American Dream, is a moral outrage, and a warning. ICE hopes you won't notice that mass deportation is back My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

This!

Jared Polis has brought shame on Colorado. We could have been brave like Officers Dunn & Hodges. We could have been brave like the people of Minnesota.

“'I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life,' the congresswoman said, fighting back tears. "She described the way people were laying down inside as “like sardines.” “'It is frightening in there,' she said. 'It is disgusting'..." azmirror.com/2026/04/10/i...

The federal law prohibiting federal armed agents from polling places has been on the books since the Civil War. If ICE shows up to the polls, voters should report it to their local election officials or call 866-OUR-VOTE if they have any issues. bit.ly/4s3UQDe

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica. They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

Preach, Boss.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

What is wrong with these sadists?

It’s insane how out of touch this administration is. Folks can’t afford to buy one damn home, let alone 12. Here’s an idea—let’s stop the foreign adventurism and end tax breaks for billionaires.

If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status. Call the GI Bill Rights hotline: 1-877-447-4487

The DNC is acting to address the national voter registration gap with When We Count, their largest-ever voter registration effort. They’re making voter registration a top strategic priority nationwide. If you’re aged 18-29, learn about how you can apply for a paid voter registration fellowship. 🗳️

Social media monitoring systems, cellphone location tracking, facial recognition, remote hacking tools — now being turned on Americans by ICE to target protesters. bit.ly/3Kq348R

Public Service Announcement

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

This is *excellent* forensic journalism by The Times: clear explanation using video evidence. This is the best of Times journalism. Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

We’re hosting a national rapid response call tomorrow night to go over concrete next steps. Please circulate - we need a national response. More details to come. www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

@hickenlooper.senate.gov @bennet.senate.gov @neguse.house.gov As a constituent, I strongly second this.

The Education Department was investigating a Texas middle school for allegations that Black students were being harassed with racial slurs and monkey sounds. Then Trump closed the civil rights division’s Dallas office, indefinitely stalling the case.

As someone not with NCAR, I use NCAR-based software everyday to help identify and track regions of excessive precipitation to help NWS forecasters protect lives and property. NCAR is extremely valuable and we need them.

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership. Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources. Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet. Unbelievable.

This is a five alarm fire.
