Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location. ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her. This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.

Dozens of Marines are now patrolling the border near Campo, California. Not just in support roles, but shoulder to shoulder with Border Patrol. A direct challenge to the Posse Comitatus Act, which bans the military from civilian law enforcement.

The Trump admin in a nutshell; in order to justify their own mistake, they’re going to release a violent felon with five deportations so he can testify against the guy with no criminal record they mistakenly deported. In other words, the story is always more important than the principle.

FYI Trump's monstrosity of a bill includes $8 billion dollars in new funding to hire 10,000 new ICE agents. ICE has rounded up 204K people in just the last year—65% of whom have zero record. If this bill passes that 204K ICE has rounded up will look like child's play. It'll be fascism on steroids.

And Trump just gave asylum to 17 of the cartel's family members. Because he's tough on the cartels, you see. www.cnn.com/2025/06/28/p...

ALERT: Since Darrell Issa is MIA, I'll be hosting the Indivisible town hall we deserve with Rep. Sara Jacobs! July 27, 4 PM at the California Center for the Arts. Reserve your seats now. These events fill up fast!

Enough! This is exactly why ICE should be required to identify themselves. If ICE looks like criminals and thugs, they should be regarded as such. 🚨 Yesterday, an L.A. man was arrested for impersonating a federal agent. Loaded gun, fake documents, cop gear and even blinking & blue on his car

Solid 🧵

Viktor Orban banned pride events in Hungary, the people took it as a challenge and just had the largest pride march in their country's history.

Starting this fall, Oklahoma high school students will be expected to study so-called “discrepancies” from the 2020 presidential election — essentially conspiracy theories about a stolen election that have been thoroughly discredited by courts and President Donald Trump’s own Department of Justice.

Yup.

That is some Nazi shit.

This…in LA. The home of which they exploded the door off of…was reportedly occupied by all US Citizens. Are you beginning to understand why the people who you could never understand why they boarded those cattle cars…went ahead and got on?

I miss having a human president.

NEW: In a sweeping rebuke of President Donald Trump’s campaign of retribution against law firms that challenged his political agenda, a federal judge Friday struck down in its entirety an executive order issued by Trump that targeted a powerful law firm. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this? Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids. She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms. Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen. 🧵

The U.S. Supreme Court left in place the district court order in our case for now, blocking President Trump's blatantly unconstitutional birthright citizenship order in California.

Florida's attorney general says the migrant detention facility is on track to open in early July, at a little-used airfield in the Everglades. Environmental activists hope they can stop the project.

In these last two days SCOTUS handed down seven significant rulings that will have wide reaching impacts on our rights. Here is your non-legalese analysis to help make sense of just what happened, how these rulings impact you, and what to expect going forward. www.qasimrashid.com/p/breaking-d...

BREAKING: CASA plaintiffs file an amended complaint challenging Trump's EO to end birthright citizenship, seeking class certification and a TRO, following today's Supreme Court decision.

🚨NEW: The Trump admin moves to terminate Temporary Protected Status for HALF A MILLION Haitians, claiming despite all reality that Haiti is a safe country to return to — even though large portions of the country are ruled by vicious gangs and civil governance has collapsed.

When the post reconstruction court gutted newly established civil rights in the late 1800's, it took over sixty years to overturn those decisions and undo the damage. It'll likely take a similar timeframe to undo the damage this court has wrought and many of us won't live to see that day.

Stripping birthright citizenship from people born in this country goes against rights guaranteed in the Constitution. We must stand against unconstitutional actions and stand up for the fundamental rights granted to people in the United States of America.

Trump says he is ending all trade discussions with Canada and will be levying more tariffs against them in the next 7 days

After catching up on the SCOTUS rulings that happened while I was sleeping in, I’m so incredibly disheartened. Grateful for all the folks who can keep fighting while I have some pout time. I’ll be back in the fight with you after a bit more self-care.

MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF

Donald Trump's Social Security Admin is LYING to the American people. They said call wait times are down to minutes. Well, I investigated and found people are waiting HOURS for help — and that's if they get help at all. They need to stop the cover up and fix this giant failure.

Zohran: Imagine living in a city where you can afford your rent, your groceries and even a meal at a restaurant now and then without much stress Eric Adams: Imagine a platypus so powerful that it could destroy the city. We need more cops

🛑 𝗡𝗢 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗦𝗘𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗧 𝗣𝗢𝗟𝗜𝗖𝗘 CA lawmakers just introduced SB 627, a bill that would BAN law enforcement from hiding their identities during operations in our communities. Why? Because masked, unidentifiable agents have been terrorizing neighborhoods without names, badges, or accountability. 1/4

Brilliant. 10/10. No notes.

There are about to be a lot more folks eligible for deportation. This cannot be legal. US military bases are considered US soil.

This decision will fuel politically motivated efforts to block low-income patients from accessing essential reproductive health care in certain states. We all deserve to get the care we need, no matter the size of our wallet or where we live.

In its assault on Planned Parenthood today, the Supreme Court gutted a provision of the Civil Rights Act of 1871 providing enforcement of federal rights. KBJ's dissent directly ties today's majority to the white supremacists who attacked civil rights during Reconstruction. slate.com/news-and-pol...

NEWS: Kenneth Chesebro, "architect" of the 2020 fake electors plot who pleaded to criminal charges in Georgia, has been disbarred from the practice of law in New York, per order issued today by New York appellate court.

Watch this. Because this is the way: Local officials using their platform right, reaching out to the community. Ambrocio “Enrique” Lozano, affectionately known as “the popsicle man,” was reportedly abducted in broad daylight in Culver City. Masked man. White van. Cart left behind in the street.

And right there is one of the reasons we bombed Iran. Pretext to get Netanyahu off the hook for his crimes.

Tennessee passed a law threatening felony charges against local elected officials who vote in favor of policies supporting immigrant communities. This is an attack on the legislative process and democracy itself — @aclutn.bsky.social will see the state in court.

NEW: 11 key allegations made in Erez Reuveni's whistleblower disclosure about DOJ. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche attacked the claims as "falsehoods," but many of the fired longtime DOJ lawyer's allegations are already backed up by public facts. Today, at Law Dork:

Is it an “alleged assessment” or a top secret document that was leaked?

Congratulations to Equality Caucus Co-Chair Rep. Robert Garcia for becoming the first openly-LGBTQI+ Member of Congress to serve as Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee!

Rep. McIver has pled not guilty to the charges brought against her by the Trump DoJ. Trial has been set for November 10th - if the case makes it to trial. abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...

Important, devastating interview about the post-Roe revival of "maternity homes," where many women are forced to give their children up for adoption—denied choice over every aspect of their lives and bodies. slate.com/news-and-pol...
