🚨Heard about this earlier today; ICE is expanding to arrests at ATD (alternatives to detention) case management check-ins. Dozens of people got texts to show up weeks in advance of their normal check-in, and ended up detained. Three women let go were told to come back tomorrow with their kids.

even josh hawley shocked at how many fuckin crimes trump has committed lol

This is the way.

If they had probable cause, they could detain them criminally. If necessary to obtain info they could get GJ subpoenas or material witness warrants. But this is just hate. Will they do this to the family of every white supremacist who commits a terror attack too? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/u...

thearc_us The Medicaid fight isn’t over. The Senate still has a chance to stop the biggest cuts to Medicaid and SNAP in U.S. history. How can you help? Tell members of Congress what these critical programs mean to people with disabilities and the impact on our lives if they are cut.

So a bit ago we started hearing strange, unearthly screaming outside. My cat reacted by puffing up and running from door to door. No idea what it was, but CREEPY.

Image-based sexual abuse is gender based violence. Pretty clear criminal offences apply here. Disturbing, awful, misogynist behaviour. www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3607...

The White House's stated intent to use expedited removal for this guy's family is flatly ILLEGAL. By law, expedited removal ONLY applies to people not admitted at a port of entry, or here without having been "admitted or paroled" into the US. But his family was admitted at an airport on visas!

If someone says, 1. There are 11 million undocumented migrants! 2. I'm going to deport all 11 million of them! And you vote for that, thinking that "He's only going to deport the criminals?" Then you did in fact vote for that. Because you know there are not 11 million undocumented criminals.

REED: We have this crisis in education and literacy, what we're gonna do is pull back and let the states do it McMAHON: No. We'll spend it more responsibly REED: I doubt it very seriously McMAHON: Let's hope we do REED: Hope is not a plan

I think we really need to be asking why some Reform councils are so very determined to remove Ukrainian flags. Why would they do that?

The sooner this version of CNN lead by Jake Tapper and featuring Scott Jennings goes out of business the better it is for American journalism.

ICE's escalation against Representative Nadler’s aide is not only deeply concerning, it's dangerous.   We will do everything we can protect our immigrant communities from this federal government's attacks.

I cannot get over these cops wearing night vision to arrest a dude on a Southwest Airlines flight in broad daylight.

This is why we have... why we need Pride.

If you're truly pro-family, you don't slash support for moms and newborns. This GOP plan is anti-family, plain and simple.

Lowe’s Dyson Nivea Tiffany Capital One UPS Disney Door Dash Live Nation Anheuser-Busch Diageo Pepsi Nissan PWC Citi Mastercard …all pulled their support for Pride. If brands aren’t supporting your equality, you don’t need to support their profitability. popular.info/p/pride-and-...

McMAHON: Here's the other thing -- where are our guidance counselors in high schoolers? DURBIN: Good question. You're cutting the number of counselors in these schools at the same time!

Santa Ono did his best to destroy our university’s DEI programs then resigned to go to Florida. Turns out his prior DEI support means they don’t want him either. No spine means no job.

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social: “I think Elon convinced himself of a story about all of the...ways they were going to tackle government spending. He staked his reputation on it. He looks like a fool. He's walking out the door, and the only thing he's lowered is the stock price of Tesla.”

Surely I am not the only person who doesn’t like Wes Anderson films.

I don’t know how many times I need to say this, but Scott Ritter does not speak for the U.S. www.mk.ru/politics/202...

"The threat from Russia against all of us is real and it is serious," - Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen. "Putin is talking about peace during the day and bombing at night. We see a more aggressive Russia approach in the Baltic Sea region”

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Sickening. Do these people believe they're the good guys?

Murray: Those funds were appropriated by congress and your department was to allocate them and it looks like the department is illegally impounding funding…
