Israel Launches 'Pre-emptive Strikes' in Iran, Prepares for Retaliatory Rocket and Drone Attack www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Just heard an ICE chilling warning on RADIO, narrated by Terror Barbie herself. Chilling and despicable. So inhumane and un-American.

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla. This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

I want to reup this, and will come back to it. Eugene Vindman (fired by DOD bc he upheld the Constitution) asked Whiskey Pete some basic questions about China and Russia. Whiskey Pete ... apparently doesn't know what Kaliningrad is. Kaliningrad is ... sort of important.

That is the language of a coup. Not a democracy.

This is the Administration that sought charges against a sitting Member of Congress for conduct that seems a whole lot less than what it is doing to a sitting Senator for no apparent reason. This on its face looks like an illegal seizure under the Fourth Amendment.

Watching this video sickened my stomach, the manhandling of a United States Senator, Senator Padilla. We need immediate answers to what the hell went on. www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/a...

It doesn't matter. Unless SCOTUS rules that his action is illegal, the supremacy clause of the constitution mandates that the Guard become federalized upon a lawful order. If SCOTUS fucks it up, the only way is for the Guard to revolt. And the same goes for active duty military.

Second tank has a perfect aim, looks like! Can it be driven by whiskey Pete and accidentally loaded with a live round?

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @dccartoonist.bsky.social )

Good morning from Courtroom 15 in Boston, for Kseniia Petrova's detention hearing. The room seat about 25 comfortably, and 15 people are here. The Court is going to set up Courtroom 6 for overflow though.

This is a BFD. Rand Paul and Tom Massie have been calling out Miller's gulag numbers for several weeks; it got them both disinvited from the White House picnic. And now Ron Johnson is joining in?

Good thing Seth isn't working for ABC or CBS. Or he'd get fired for stating clear facts as they really are.

This entire "national immigration emergency" is the fakedy-est faked fake emergency in the history of fakery That is what it was on January 20, and that is what it is now The whole thing is a steaming, fly-riddled pile of horseshit and anyone who tracks immigration trends knows it

BREAKING: An ICE vehicle just RAMMED into a civilian car in Boyle Heights. Then they gassed it. Then they dragged out the driver. All three people in that car are U.S. citizens. This is militarized racial profiling on steroids.

1. In an extraordinary public flogging, the Florida State Board of Education repeatedly threatened a school superintendent with criminal prosecution unless he removed a Judy Blume book from all library shelves. One member called the district librarians "child abusers."

In response to govt bid for a hearing to detain Abrego Garcia (which debunks how USG focused on kids to try to claim kids were victim of his alleged crime & notes punishment for alleged crime is just 15 months), his lawyers note that he may have an asylum claim BECAUSE Trump deported him to CECOT.

What do I get for SHITTING on a Congresswoman's desk?!?! A pardon and $5M reparations?

Really wonderful news for HomeDepot and Lowes. Not to mention Tractor Supply. Or thousands of small hardware and supply stores. Is America great yet?

Really good WSJ article on ICE escalations over recent weeks including Miller's visit to ICE national HQ where he demanded Home Depot raids. www.wsj.com/us-news/prot...

“The bare pretense had value.” Yes it did, for white supremacy or Christianity. Now the veil is gone, exposing all nakedness. Same ugly darkness for a people who’ve pretended that it was “great.”

Americans are really going to love the full collapse of the cop/soldier distinction. Yes, it’s been eroding for a long time but the bare pretense had value.

There's a tizzy by some boys who are sure their best use of energy is to attack Hakeem Jeffries who are advocating for people to make LaMonica McIver's plight harder by getting ahead of her legal case. Please don't. Focus, for now, on David Huerta (whom Jeffries ALSO commented on).

It’s really good that the next star system is light years away from Earth. We probably would fuck that system up if it was as close as Mars. Even better that the next galaxy is safe from white supremacists in America fucking up the earth.

These cases--where ICE assaults someone and then ratchets up false claims against them to cover up their own crimes--are connected to the political cases, especially David Huerta, where ICE charged a felony after injuring a prominent union leader.

Cannot express enough how much what happened at that meeting three weeks ago has changed things on the ground. Courthouse arrests started within days, then check-in arrests. Worksite raids, once rare, began happening daily. Detention has skyrocketed over capacity. People are going missing.

As an immigrant here, let me emphasize what he said: by denying the same opportunity for others in search of a better life, natural-born citizens deny their own being. We are all travelers. Traveling through space and time. Be kind. And love one another. Immigrants deserve our welcome, not hate.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

The founding fathers did not live and die to see this moment. It’s time for all of us to stand up peacefully.

So, troops doing law enforcement.

WASHINGTON (AP) - National Guard members already have temporarily detained civilians in the Los Angeles protests, commander says.
