Not too many Black folks will be surprised that the very first civilian Trump’s Marines detained in Los Angeles was a Black man. A veteran.

We won a court order blocking the president's unconstitutional attempt to seize control of our elections.    Today’s win ensures that eligible New Yorkers will be able to register and vote without fear of disenfranchisement, and we're going to continue our lawsuit.

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

Once again, it seems to me that when a court finds the president is doing something wildly unconstitutional, it is dangerous and unhealthy that we default to “but let him keep doing it until multiple layers of review all agree.”

The Trump administration — and the red-state governors clinging to its coattails — aren’t just nervous. They’re terrified. Terrified of the one force they can’t control: the people. They’ve watched, helpless, as more Americans grow tired of the gaslighting, the lies, and the open flirtation...1/4

They wanted max cruelty. Shock and awe for the cameras. But all they did was traumatize a bunch of poor kids who’ll never forget it. An L.A. mom, US citizen, watched as unmarked vehicles rolled up. Masked, heavily armed ICE agents, guns drawn. And Cosplay Kristi Noem right there playing warlord!

This is really pathetic, I have to say. Trump is completely the opposite of a "leader"; he's a coward who has no convictions at all, and always blames everybody else. Nauseating.

I want to patiently explain that this is exactly why U.S. national security interests depend on maintaining a trained and effective "Voice of America" broadcasting service, and nurturing deep area and linguistic knowledge, and I also want to lose my goddamn mind

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.” ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal. Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

A very important story. Pam Hemphill, who is a hero, was disinvited from a rally because the organizers would not “forgive” her. This is how oppositions fail reedgalen.substack.com/p/dear-rally...

It is bizarre the way people with guns, bulletproof vests, riot shields, tanks, and other military gear act like rocks are an equal threat. It’s madness! If you are scared of rocks and think the punishment for having them thrown at you should be death, you shouldn’t be in law enforcement!

Governor Newsom showed us how you take on a wannabe dictator: head-on. Trump can jail dissenters, but he'll never silence America’s voice. We surrender that to no one.
