"If we sit with this list a little longer, though, with attention to the history of the world we share, we can see a different unifying logic. All of these countries are in the global south, their citizens are racialized as Black or brown and Muslim. Most have high poverty rates."

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.

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.

Done. This took WAY less than two minutes.

🚨🚨 BREAKING: Protesters have surrounded the federal detention center in Los Angeles. California isn’t backing down, this is a full-blown standoff with the feds. ❤️ A FUCK YEAH!!!

Now this is how you do it. Tongue in cheek thanks to Columbia for its craven cowering to Trump. Now exponentially more people will be educated on Race Media and International Affairs than there ever would have been before. And sincere thanks to Karen Attiah for her courage to do what's right.

Why did they bring back Abrego Garcia after saying they couldn’t/wouldn’t? Some ideas: Politically bad to keep him there? Fear it would harm their standing in other cases to continue to ignore SCOTUS? Bukele wanted him out? Someone (but who?) threatened to quit unless he came back? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is generally right BUT you gotta distinguish among the leading candidates! If you don’t like Mamdani but you *despise* Cuomo, then you really should rank Mamdani in order to block Cuomo!

This ruling is based on the theory that journalists in the press pool just listen passively to the president's speeches. But anyone who's watched a press conference knows this is wrong. Journalists ask questions! Evidently the DC Circuit is unaware of this. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

Bondi DOJ has a problem. On left: DOJ Indictment and Detention Memo allege Abrego Garcia lied to officer by not revealing he was coming from Texas On right: DHS Referral Report: "Subject stated he was driving 'three days ago' (11/27/2022) from Houston, TX to Temple Hills, MD (via St Louis, MO)"

I’m surprised this article doesn’t mention that these “options” for Trump to “punish” Musk would raise serious First Amendment concerns.

Great to see.

Pam Bondi is thug scum. The Attorney General making these comments about a defendant in a federal criminal case is lawless. This administration’s unethical hacks continue to demonstrate that they want to be deposits.

Been saying this for weeks. In order to build a mass deportation machine to round up and deport 4% of the entire goddamn population, you must first build the police state.

There is a direct link between the activity in this image, showing the wanton burning of fossil fuels, and the death of coral reefs around the world. This here is the leading cause of emissions in many countries. We are firmly on a highway to hell as we pass through 1.5°C of heating!

“CO2 hit a new milestone in May… it’s the highest in 14 million years…”

💥 @repdangoldman.bsky.social speaks out about his confrontation with “plain-clothes ICE agents” wearing masks. “You can’t require Columbia University to ban masks in order to get federal funding while you turn around and have federal government enforcement law enforcement agents wearing masks.”

live from the huge spontaneous anti-ICE protest after the agency used military-style tactics during a series of raids in Los Angeles today.

Heavily-armed DHS paramilitary forces in military vehicles fired dozens of stun grenades at a crowd of onlookers today in Los Angeles.

The reports today of indiscriminate mass ICE raids in LA and legal residents being detained in basements for days without food and water shock the conscience. Trump is acting like a dictator—not a president. California will defend our immigrant communities.

The criminal charges should be, and will be, subjected to extreme scrutiny. As should the particular ICE agents and AUSAs supporting them.

You should rank Zhoran Mamdani 1st on your ballot - he would make a great mayor! But if you have a different 1st choice, please rank him #2, it is SO important to keep Cuomo from winning - he's a thug who abuses women and has blood on his hands Do. Not. Rank. Andrew. Cuomo.

Voters love it when you believe in absolutely nothing, and they will respect you for embracing the people who are trying to destroy you. It really signals that you’re willing to fight.

Jessica Ramos totally trashing her credibility and one can't help but wonder what he offered for her to sell out so completely

Update: my friend was quoted by @thecity.nyc as he waited to find out what happened. It's two days later and he has no idea where his client is. She was detained on Wednesday morning at a check-in. She's not in the ICE Detainee Locator, and when he's called ICE they refuse to tell him where she is.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

No joke, Trump has to fire all of them now. They're a sabotage risk to the administration.

I hope Taylor Swift writes about today’s breakup.

This headline is hilarious because Israel of course originally backed Hamas to bolster opposition to the PLO. youtu.be/o7grSsuFSS0?...

NEW: The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) announced it has suspended distribution at all its aid hubs until further notice, deepening the crisis for Gaza’s population, which has been deliberately starved since March 2.

@jessicaramosqns.bsky.social is an enemy of the working people of New York City. Her remaining in the race is about stopping @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, which means stopping you from affording to live in your home. Don't rank her for mayor and work to defeat her when she next runs for reelection.

NYC Haiku I've surrendered to The air conditioner gods Humidity, man

She's a natural

Well this couldn’t have come at a better time www.bbc.com/news/article...

There, there, let it all out on social media for all of us to see. Don't hold back. We won't care about you if you don't. You can say it "I rigged the election for Trump" I can’t wait till he exposed shit in a Ketamine haze while incriminating himself & Trump. www.thedailybeast.com/elon-musk-ra...

The NYPD and ICE mistakenly arrested a Chilean woman who is a permanent resident in New York City and left her poor frightened 12 year old daughter on the street alone. She was released approximately six hours later. This is the fearful state of America.

A Florida weatherman telling his viewers he can no longer be confident in his forecasts due to cuts to atmospheric science is the kind of resistance content I’m here for. Kudos, Sir.🌦️
