Just a follow-up.From Robert Reich:
"Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS.
Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies.
AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS.
Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty."

Once unthinkable: At 103, Holocaust survivor Ruth Gruenthal has reclaimed the German citizenship the Nazi regime stripped from her because she was Jewish. After surviving Nazi persecution and rebuilding her life in the U.S., Ruth became a psychotherapist and raised a family spanning four generations — many of whom have now also reclaimed German citizenship. Born in Hamburg in 1922, imprisoned in France, and forced to flee Nazi persecution as a teenager, Ruth rebuilt her life in the United States, where she lived for decades. But recent political developments, rising antisemitism, and fears of growing authoritarianism in the U.S. have shaken her sense of security. Ruth is not alone. An increasing number of Jewish Americans with family histories shaped by the Holocaust are applying to restore German citizenship — not necessarily to leave, but to have a safeguard: the option to move to Germany should conditions in the United States deteriorate further. Germany allows victims of Nazi persecution and their descendants to reclaim citizenship that was deliberately taken from them. In New York alone, applications have more than doubled in recent years.
Former CNN host Don Lemon arrested after anti-ICE protests at Minnesota church
Former CNN host Don Lemon has been arrested after he entered a Minnesota church and filmed anti-immigration enforcement protesters as they disrupted a service.
Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents on Thursday night while in Los Angeles covering the Grammy Awards, according to a statement from his lawyer Abbe Lowell.
"Don will fight these charges vigorously and thoroughly in court," the attorney said.
Lemon went into the Cities Church in St Paul on 19 January with a group of protesters who said one of the pastors was an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official.
"Don has been a journalist for 30 years, and his constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis was no different than what he has always done," Lowell said in a statement posted to Lemon's Instagram account on Friday.
And running up legal fees.^ It is all performative and designed to scare the press.
They know the courts won't prosecute or convict. But to them, this is all just paperwork.
The Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE or the Access Act, Pub. L.

A federal judge Friday permanently blocked key portions of the sweeping anti-voting executive order that President Donald Trump signed last year.
Beyond simply stopping the order, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton, minced no words in rebuking Trump’s attempt to expand the executive branch’s power over elections, describing it as both unconstitutional and a threat to democracy.

Texas Education Agency moves to correct 4,200 errors in Bible-infused curriculum
State Board of Education members criticized the publishing errors and postponed their vote on the agency’s request until their next meeting.
The Texas Education Agency has to correct roughly 4,200 errors in a Bible-infused elementary school curriculum that was approved by the state two years ago, the State Board of Education said Friday.
Board members postponed voting on an education agency request to correct those errors during its final meeting of the week, saying they needed more time to review the corrections.
That includes 547 requests to replace images with “licensing issues,” said Pam Little, the board’s Republican vice chair. It also includes formatting errors, typos and incorrect page numbers.
Records obtained by The Texas Tribune through an open records request revealed additional complaints from educators about problems like missing pages, incorrect answer keys and books falling apart.
I suspect that they rushed this legislation through the Texas Legislature and they rushed to get the "educational materials" into the schools before the courts could catch up with them.I think that it is hilarious that they are concerned with errors in the Bible.
The worst part is that Texas basically sets the standard for what gets published for other states as well.
