ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing he’s American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: “Why were you running?” Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

CATO: “New nonpublic data from ICE indicates the government is primarily detaining individuals with no criminal convictions of any kind… 93% had no violent convictions… 65% no criminal record at all…” @MarshaBlackburn www.cato.org/blog/65-peop...

Trump repost on Truth Social: “There is no #JoeBiden - executed in 2020. #Biden clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see. >#Democrats dont know the difference.” The US President is full blown crazy and Congress refuses to act. God help us.

Massive turnout #nokings in Kansas City, great energy and bubbles!

Kc, Mo #nokings 1 Hour before the protest

I listen to podcasts slightly sped up, so it’s always funny when I see a clip posted from one of my frequents and I’m like, “Are they drinking? Why are they talking so weird?” But it’s just their normal voice and speed.

No funds to rebuild after devastating storms and fires, but troops if you demand basic human rights. Got it.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Pentagon says deploying Marines and National Guard to protests in Los Angeles will cost $134 million.

The only president I’ve ever seen that feels the need to use the military for his anti-immigration actions after manufacturing the crises to begin with. There were no protests, ICE raids started this whole debacle! There’s serious dark agendas at work here… www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Authoritarians like to punish the power to protest, which is enshrined in our constitution.

Get ready for more masquerading like this. But don’t fight back against your attackers/kidnappers bc they COULD be federal agents…

When I’m broke like USA supposedly, I tell the kids no dinner (snap), no healthcare (Medicaid), no future investment (grants), we need to cut back (fire fed servants) and then I throw myself a big, expensive, wasteful party and destroy infrastructure in the process.

This is so jarringly unAmerican that I sort of hope it wakes some normies up. It is occurring in a context where military-style equipment is being used to enforce immigration roundups and conveys the notion that we are increasingly living in a police state.

Trying to stretch the peace from the weekend into next week. Jedediah Smith State Park, California.

WATCH: “Working class Americans understand that vulnerability.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social points out the Republican Medicaid cuts/work requirements would mean hourly workers are at risk of losing their health care if their job doesn’t give them enough hours that week.

Got away from the news and life for a few days.

MAKARY: 88 percent of American kids, their parents have said no to the covid shot last season. So the vast majority of Americans are saying no. BRENNAN: I don't want to crowdsource my health guidance. You don't go with popularity, you go with data.

In Missouri, overturning the will of voters has almost become the legislature’s main business. Lawmakers wasted no time moving to undo a constitutional amendment that legalized abortion up to fetal viability. By @jeremykohler.bsky.social‬

For those not familiar, here's the opening paragraph in the Wikipedia entry for the term "remigration," a term which popped up in Europe over a decade ago and until very recently has not been part of the U.S. political discourse. It is NOT a neutral term. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remigra...

70 pages in and hooked. Great writing, weaving together storytelling and weather/climate data. Looking forward to all his books. For a weather nerd with a penchant for shipwreck stories (read every book I could find on the Endurance), I’m enjoying this even more than expected. #booksky

Last night REPUBLICAN @RepThomasMassie spoke out about Republican debt hypocrisy — as they exploded the debt to stuff the pockets of the wealthy, cutting health care and programs for the working poor. #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

The only free speech they’re for is their own

The only public communication from CDC since April 1 has been a single Twitter post promoting RFK Jr., which CDC staff described as “propaganda.” All usual notices, reports, & other forms of public communication - including information about new disease outbreaks in the US - have been blocked by HHS

Jasmine Crockett exposes the truth— Side by side, she plays footage of the violent January 6th rioters next to Rep. LaMonica McIver at Delaney Hall— a stark contrast between criminals and congressional oversight. The difference couldn’t be clearer.🗣️

Kristi Noem just testified "Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the POTUS has to remove people from this country." FALSE Habeas corpus is the exact opposite. It's the constitutional right of people to not be detained by the Govt w/o due process. MAGA fascists are so insufferably ignorant.

Springsteen spoke truth to power here. The orange felon is talking about consequences for him when he returns from his tour.

This seems like a big deal

BREAKING: Kristi Noem doesn’t know what Habeas Corpus is. This is highly concerning

Fact-check: True

“Deeply creepy” indeed: 1932, say hello to 2025.

If you are in Kansas City this Saturday, I’d love to see you at the Respect the Will of the People Rally. Mill Creek Park 1-3.

Kansas City Public Library central branch. Needed to grab a book from there, and was pleasantly surprised by the performance happening. Grateful for public libraries.
