andrew cuomo won't see your insults but corrupt, serial sexual harassers who are trying to run cities they don't actually live in will

Hope and solidarity won tonight, and will win again in November. Congratulations, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

in a sane world a response like this would raise a shitload of questions instead it is just considered an acceptable answer and the world just moves on to something else

what federal agents did to a father of three Marines while he was cutting grass in Orange County on Sunday has happened in some form daily — and deliberately — all over Los Angeles for 18 days.

The term for this is "human trafficking." The Supreme Court has legalized human trafficking when Donald Trump does it.

A federal officer cannot be “doxxed.” The public has a right to know who is operating in our government, especially if they have the power to imprison someone.

Just remembering when I profiled Zephyr Teachout when she ran against Cuomo in 2014 and his campaign sent the most pathetic paid protesters alive to heckle her: www.villagevoice.com/the-outsider...

Congress, Now More Than Ever, We Need Your Cowardice

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war. If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

Masked ICE agents spotted swapping out license plates this morning in Bell Gardens, CA

WATCH — @underwood.house.gov : “Elderly will lose Medicaid. Nursing homes will close. What are people supposed to do? They don’t care… there’s no way to sugarcoat it - it will be devastating for our communities.” #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

ICE arrested Job Garcia while he was running errands in LA. Job is a US citizen, a scholar, and a brilliant photographer. He’s also my friend. But none of that should determine his humanity. ICE must release Job Garcia immediately.

Look at this fucking jamoke. Their jamokeness would be so funny if they weren’t also kidnapping people extrajudicially and disappearing them like the Stasi

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will not let my daughter be: defector.com/robert-f-ken...

To be really clear: The reason members of Congress can't just walk right in is because of the guns. Armed DHS personnel won't allow entry. In other words, DHS is using armed force to *break* laws. Democrats need to wrap their minds around that. Accept that the frog is boiled.

The WMD we need to pay attention to right now as well - the big ugly tax bill Republicans are rushing through Congress right now which will blow up America’s hospital network. @ddayen.bsky.social has the details w a fiery quote from @alaw202.bsky.social prospect.org/health/2025-...

I wrote a piece about the police shooting at journalists at the LA protests, including me, and what it means for a free press. But I want to make it clear that I know that the big story here is not about journalists, it's about what ICE is doing www.huffpost.com/entry/journa...

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

damn -- Duckworth to Hegseth: "If you want to be the DHS secretary, maybe you can apply for that job when you're fired from this one due to your incompetence."

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

WATCH: “You’re a U.S. senator and you don’t know anything about the country you want to topple.” Tucker Carlson embarrasses @sentedcruz as he pushes for war with Iran

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

This photo. ICE is a gang.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."

ICE raiding a crowded supermarket in Rosemead, California with no identification, indistinguishable from cartel hitmen, pulling high caliber rifles on unarmed US citizens trying to ask questions about wtf is going on. #3E #StopICE

One thing I have not seen much grappling with: the Trump Administration has acted illegally with respect to the National Guard & Marines in LA plus the whole parade nonsense is a federal show of power, but cops ostensibly controlled by local governments in blue cities attacked protestors yesterday.

Greetings! I’m here at Los Angeles City Hall. A group of at minimum ten thousand here for a “No Kings” protest. People spilling out far past the area of Grand Park and City Hall.

once again urging the democrats who are still in power at the state and local level to immediately investigate your Armed Goon Situation becuase it's probably more tenuous than you think it is

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

This ICE agent tells an immigration attorney of her three clients: "I'm not picky so I'm giving you the options cause I have to take one. If not I'll take all." He is quite literally saying that ICE is simply deporting people at random to meet a quota. www.instagram.com/reel/DKzbcQe...

Scoop: Threat intelligence reports obtained by WIRED and @propertyofthepeople.org show military and state-run fusion centers are tracking civilian-made ICE encounter maps, while others distribute "threat" alerts about tomorrow's "No Kings" protests. By me @wired.com (free to read):
