Y'all, please stop. I really don't wanna cheer for Slytherin Mit Romney. Not today. Not ever. No Newsom. He'd sell you and your first born for the next seat up the ambition chain. #gavinnewsom #la #california

NEW: Did innocuous tattoos of hummingbirds and palm trees lead the Trump admin to believe the men they disappeared were gang members? “If they notice they have a tattoo, they’re just taking them into custody," one lawyer said. Read @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social and @nlanard.bsky.social:
