🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

the people putting themselves on the line to run off these thugs truly are the best of us

This is exactly why we were saying defund the police. The police are the vanguard of authoritarian regimes.

Local officials and news has been saying the line all day that local police doesn't work with immigration enforcement. Here they are, lined up military style, shooting less lethals into a crowd of peaceful protestors to protect ICE.

not enough said about how, by turning the national government against states on the basis of ordinary political disagreement, trump is undermining the idea that the union is worthwhile. www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/p...

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

"The decision to pursue the indictment against Abrego Garcia led to the abrupt departure of Ben Schrader, a high-ranking federal prosecutor in Tennessee...Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons, the sources said."

Might be a lesson here somewhere about outsourcing capacity for key government services to a guy who lives in a lair under a volcano

Bannon just called for this. Let the socialist revolution begin!

There it is

if the wheels had come off this thing any faster it'd be a Cybertruck

Yeah, the practical realpolitik thing to do adopt the drug-addled Nazi sympathizer with two failing businesses. How else will the six people who care know we’re bipartisan?

A military occupation by ICE

this is the way

people are getting disappeared, innocent men sent to foreign gulags, the civil service hollowed out, thousands left to die without foreign aid, and schumer is saber rattling about iran. these people make me fucking sick.

This is beautiful to see. Nonviolent and effective.

This kind of clear, direct explanation of what’s happening is basic journalism and yet it’s surprising to hear it stated so forthrightly in this mealy-mouthed era.

Honestly, when you get to interview folks like this, the interesting things to ask are less about what was going on behind the scenes than why they chose this work in the first place. "Why did you decide to take and stay in a job that had you lying to people every day? Let's unpack that."

The big beautiful bill seeks to ban state regulation of AI systems for 10 years. There are no federal regulations of autonomous vehicles. So the ban will create an entire class of unregulated vehicles on the road, explains our new staff writer Whitney Curry Wimbish: prospect.org/infrastructu...

As I've said before, what we're dealing with fundamentally here, and have been dealing with for some time, is evil. Our political norms and political media prohibit talking about a mainstream political faction this way. But it is the truth. It needs to be known and it needs to be said.

i have begun to use “wicked” to describe these people. it is old fashioned but captures the active nature of their malevolence. they are *agents* of evil

In San Antonio today, plainclothes ICE officers (not masked this time) arrested, handcuffed, and zip-tied a family of five (yes, ALL of them, including the little children) coming out of their immigration court hearing — which ICE had just had dismissed. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

If you believe burning children alive is ‘self-defense’, you have no red line and you’re a danger to society.

I wrote up the tariff ruling. There are well-established ways in which Congress has delegated the ability to impose tariffs to presidents. Trump got impatient, took an untested path, and got nothing. Thank the flying spaghetti monster for incompetency. prospect.org/politics/202...

“The court’s ruling also means that the government may have to pay back duties it has already collected. “Anybody that has had to pay tariffs so far will be able to get them refunded,” said Ilya Somin” www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Nothing says America like this “Level 2: Advanced Church Safety Team Training” class held in Murfreesboro, Tennessee

yes. they literally blame higher education for a social order that doesn’t give unquestioned deference to people like themselves

You don't need to be a prophet. Images like this - of starved Palestinians hammed into fenced cages by Israel - will be remembered for generations as hideous evidence of a terrible crime. And history will remember not just those who cheered it on, but those who stayed silent.

#Israeli media published a drone image of the #American lsraeli Aid distribution Hub,showing Palestinians caged within fenced routes,overcrowded as they waited to receive their weekly calorie-limited aid package. #wakeupworld I can see this coming all over the world. #freepalestine #Gaza #genocide

BREAKING: An Israeli airstrike on a school-turned-shelter has killed at least 25 Palestinians, mostly women and children, Gaza's Health Ministry said. The school was hit three times while people slept, setting their belongings ablaze, they added.

#AbolishIce !!!!!

@aoc.bsky.social Democrats need to start messaging #AbolishIce

"Do you all ever get tired of being on the wrong side of history?" Yes. Fuck. Them. Up.

Moral clarity is such a rare and fleeting thing these days

Hasan needs to file a defamation suit against Jonathan Greenblatt.
