ICE agents or bounty hunters? A raid at Home Depot on Wilshire in Los Angeles earlier today. What’s disturbing is that they’re wearing masks and vests you could buy on Amazon. They’re in unmarked cars, and I don’t see any IDs on the officers — regular SUVs with standard plates.

Here’s the online post by Ben Schrader, ex Chief of the Criminal Division of the U.S. Attorney’s office in NASHVILLE — who ABC says resigned because their decision to charge Kilmar Abrego Garcia is politically motivated. Hope @chrislhayes.bsky.social or someone interviews him!

This passage from the article is one of the most dangerous aspects of current American Gestapo (ICE) operations. Impersonating utility workers—or employees of other legitimate businesses—is not only illegal, it is incredibly destructive, as it destroys the general trust within communities.

If you think slashing Medicaid or the ACA only hurts ‘other people,’ sorry to break it to you—you’ve been duped. Call Congress and urge them not to make any healthcare cuts: 866-426-2631.

MAJOR UPDATE: The Supreme Court just handed DOGE the keys to all the sensitive personal information Social Security has on file — your income, benefits, health records, and more. Why do Donald Trump and his cronies need access to millions of Americans’ private data? It’s absurd.

As usual, the cruelty is the point. Missouri has lived under the boot of a GOP supermajority for 22 years and they have consistently defunded schools. And now they are planning to close schools for the severely disabled.

WalMart has 15k employees getting SNAP and 10k using Medicaid. Here are their profit and revenue numbers. With 15 bil in profit, doesn't it seem fair they pay the gov back? Another option would be to pay their employees more.

Masked ICE thugs terrorized Chicago yesterday. They lied to immigrants waiting for their court hearing by summoning them for “surprise check-ins” and then assaulted protesters and elected officials. THIS IS WHAT FASCISM LOOKS LIKE.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a once-in-a-generation leader who has led the fight for working people in Congress. In 2018, she shocked the world and transformed our politics. On June 24, with @aoc.bsky.social’s support and this movement behind us, we will do the same.

worth remembering that when Trump announced a travel ban in 2017, people literally went to airports to protest. Eight years later, Trump announces a new one and it's not even front page news. We're the frogs and the water is getting awfully hot.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

We don’t celebrate Pride for the rainbows or parades, we do it because right now someone out there believes they don’t deserve love, just because of who they are or who they love. That’s why we celebrate Pride—because we want to build a world where no one feels that way.
