Article trying to differentiate the Comey / James indictments, which appear to be baseless, with the Bolton indictment that had actual prosecutors signing onto it instead of writing memos opposing it.

Amusingly, the top 2 hits on Google when searching “ICE doxxed” was Homeland Security calling it dangerous.
I’m not a huge fan of indiscriminate data dumps like this, because there are surely still people inside the FBI and DOJ who mean well by remaining.
But honestly, when masked gunmen with no identification or warrant are abducting people outside their immigration hearings and out of their vehicles in traffic, I can’t muster up outrage over it either.

The embedded caption is misleading – it’s an Instagram post from a bail coordinator for an activist group. reporting on one request for assistance they had to turn away. Someone’s in jail for improper lights and a failure to signal…while riding a bicycle.
Another senior prosecutor and her deputy were fired for refusing to indict James.
Ring cameras are partnering with Flock. Ring is increasingly positioning itself as a law enforcement surveillance tool.
When I was looking for a doorbell camera this summer, I deliberately ruled out Ring.

Wyze is the better product anyway.
So are people now going to add “fired from the DOJ” on their cvs as a positive?

You want a camera that stores local (storage in a dedicate server) and then passes off to the service provider. It’s a bit more expensive at setup but then you know you have a copy of reality rather than relying on a megacorp and the government they are in bed with.
Sounds like this has no immediate effect as the government hasn’t challenged the other injunction (yet). While this decision may make it to SCOTUS, it sounds like it may get bounced to the full 9th circuit first.
It is a scary decision, basically that the courts have no authority to challenge the President deploying troops against citizens
We need more folks like Erez Reuveni
Sounds like there were a number in the DOJ that have all been fired
Haven’t we all witnessed that, many times?
In the fighting back against authoritarianism category, the goverment tried and failed to indict Sidney Reid for assaulting an FBI agent. Reid was filming them making arrests. After they failed in 3 separate attempts to get a felony indictment, the US decided to prosecute her for a misdemeanor since that didn’t require an indictment. The jury found Reid not guilty. Reid’s statement after the verdict is gold.

Who cares about civilian oversight of the US military?
The Pentagon is barring nearly all Defense Department personnel, including military commanders, from talking to Congress or state lawmakers unless they have received prior approval from the agency’s office of legislative affairs, according to a memo signed this month by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and obtained by CNN.
However, a separate defense official told CNN on Wednesday that further internal guidance from the Office of the Secretary of Defense made clear the policy would restrict and centralize all communications with elected officials, and that even service legislative affairs staffers would need approval from OSD before responding to congressional inquiries.
“This is not business as usual … They have been very clear across the military that this is a restriction, and they want to control it all centrally,” the defense official said.
CNN previously reported that Congress has had limited engagement with Hegseth to the frustration of lawmakers and staffers; a Senate aide told CNN there has been “significantly less” communication than what lawmakers expect.
I just, oh never mind.

How depressing.
I thought the Ministry of Peace and the Ministry of Truth were supposed to be separate Ministries.
