Defense Attorney Shabazz: “If Kilmar is so dangerous, why did they wait 3 years to indict him on this? They’re only doing that now to justify denying him due process and subjecting him to cruel and unusual punishment (in CECOT).”

Political protesting by way of theatre at it’s best on display at Union Station in Washington DC

Shameful.

If Mr. Trump’s enforcers want to preserve what’s left of the country they claim to love, they would do well to remember Ruby Ridge. And Waco. And the long, painful lessons of American counterinsurgency www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/o...

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

🎁 This is not just a matter of proper procedure. Without a unified command structure, clear rules of engagement and accountability mechanisms, introducing military personnel into a volatile environment introduces more risk than reassurance. Who’s in charge? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/o...

"Contrary to Trump’s assertions, Breyer wrote that the Los Angeles demonstrations “fall far short of ‘rebellion.’” He said the Trump administration found violence...not “a violent, armed, organized, open and avowed uprising against the government as a whole." [The Washington Post] wapo.st/447Ko3M

William Guild, whose three-decade career included nine years on SEAL Team Six, was being treated for an aggressive brain cancer. Then Donald Trump took office for a second time. Guild’s wife is convinced his care has deteriorated since.

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

It can happen here. It is happening here.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Palmer: Charges should be brought against each one of you AOC: Raising the prospect of charges against witnesses is a form of intimidation is it not? Palmer: I strike those words

I told you we’d be back

Wow. California Sen. Alex Padilla is wrestled and detained by federal officers after showing up to DHS Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference in LA. (video from Bill Melugin of Fox News)

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

Maybe you should read the document before you swear an oath to it.

Seth gets it

Thank you to everyone who’s reached out after our last post. We’ve received even more footage of police and ICE brutality. Tonight, the LAPD opened a formal investigation.

You may have seen clips of this speech, but if you haven't yet, you really ought to watch the entire thing and then share it with everyone you know! www.youtube.com/watch?v=8slq...

May the anti-ICE movement continue to spread nationwide! This is the Los Angeles spirit your news broadcast isn’t showing…

‼️BIG ANNOUNCEMENT‼️ Our Los Angeles chapter has launched their strike funds on Open Collective DISCLAIMER: Should the General Strike LA not take place, the remaining funds will be redistributed to other LA mutual aid groups. We want to assure financial transparency

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.” This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

Chicago be aware ICE tactical teams are expected to arrive on Thursday w "mini tanks" to start more raids. 🍊 wants a reaction so there's an excuse to do what he's done in LA - don't take the bait: - Don't open your door to randos - Carry ID, passport is best - Film it all - Demand your lawyer

Along with abolishing ICE we should abolish all for-profit prison companies in the country.
