MissConstrue<p>Y’all, here’s a shocker! <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/ICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ICE</span></a> has known <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/Nazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nazis</span></a> on staff. For example, James “Jim” Joseph Rodden, a 44-year-old who works as an assistant chief counsel for ICE in the Dallas area. Rodden represents the agency in immigration court hearings where judges decide whether an individual is removed from the country.</p><p>Here’s some choice words of ICE attorney Rodden; Quote: It is our holy duty to guard against the foreign hordes. Nobody is proposing feeding migrants into tree shredders,” the account posted in March 2024. “Yet. Give it a few more weeks at this level of invasion, and that will be the moderate position.”</p><p>There’s more, and it’s worse. Support free press, consider subbing to the <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/TexasObserver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TexasObserver</span></a>, they do good work. Also, fuck ICE. </p><p><a href="https://www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecutor-dallas-white-supremacist-x-account/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut</span><span class="invisible">or-dallas-white-supremacist-x-account/</span></a></p>

Flipboard<p>Texas has a dire shortage of social workers. <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://texasobserver.social/@TexasObserver" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>TexasObserver</span></a></span> explores how the state is shooting itself in the foot by imposing a lifetime ban on candidates who’ve been convicted of certain crimes such as assault. The law came into place in 2019 and does not allow for rehabilitation or glowing recommendations — it’s one strike, and you’re out. James Knight and Daryl James spoke to Katherin Youniacutt, a grandmother and recovering alcoholic with more than 10 years of sobriety who is still being punished for a mistake she made in 2007.</p><p><a href="https://www.texasobserver.org/social-worker-license-lawsuit-texas-law/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">texasobserver.org/social-worke</span><span class="invisible">r-license-lawsuit-texas-law/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/SocialWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocialWork</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Crime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Crime</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Texas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Texas</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/TexasObserver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TexasObserver</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Newstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Newstodon</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/NewstodonFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewstodonFriday</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/FollowFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FollowFriday</span></a></p>
Oliphantom Menace<p>I know some of you get down on the fedi, but a year or two ago, the Texas Observer was about to shut down and lay off a bunch of their staff, and the fediverse <em>literally saved the publication</em>.</p><p>Good journalism is hard to find these days, but is increasingly found on the more indie fringes, rather than produced by big media conglomerates.</p><p>I'm hoping they are still in the black today, but <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://texasobserver.social/@TexasObserver" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>TexasObserver</span></a></span> is one of the few publishers that actually runs their own Mastodon instance, and has been a good citizen of the fedi, publishing several "truth to power" stories.
