Elected Democrats call Trump out on his lies instead of pretending that Trump has a factual basis for his claims challenge

Wow, just like when Trump sent DHS to Portland, which as protests were winding down, sparked them up again into a large scale people's battle against state repression. It ended with Darren Wilson being sent to jail and George Floyd's family personally thanking Portland demonstrators.

🚨 ALERTA PHILLY 🚨 Hearing from a very credible local source that there may be ICE action tomorrow (Sunday 6/8) in the following areas: 5th and Washington Ave 7th and Snyder Ave 5th and McKean/Wolf Chinatown Let your neighbors know to stay safe and be vigilant. Be ready. Be water.

the people in LA putting their safety on the line right now to try and stop ICE are the bravest people we have got

Los Angeles school worker shares frustration over parents having to leave their children’s graduation ceremony because ICE raided an elementary school’s graduation today

One thing is for certain after this week: Local cops in sanctuary cities—Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York—are working in lock step with DHS and ICE.

The fact that this isn't even above the fold is a distressing commentary on where we are. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/u...

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.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man the Trump administration wrongfully deported to El Salvador, is on his way back to the U.S., his lawyer tells NPR.

“ @oregondot.bsky.social has been installing fencing along urban highways…for decades in Portland for safety…it is dangerous + illegal to camp on state highway right-of-way” We spend an awful lot of money addressing the symptoms (camping) in a way that will never address the cause (lack of housing)

tfw it’s such an aggressively sunny day that you have to turn off Meat Is Murder and put on American Beauty or risk dying of cognitive dissonance on your little mental health walk

It happened again.

Weird they're showing Swan Lake on Fox right now

This is absolutely true, but in this shitty, unjust world that we are in, I do take some solace and joy in knowing that these evil motherfuckers are having a terrible day.

I still think this is one of the most gutting notes I’ve ever read.

FOLKS, WE NEED YOUR HELP There's a heat wave coming and our neighbors need us more than ever! We’re going to need water, electrolyte powder, & travel wipes at the very least We rely on donations to help people Venmo- pdxfeedthestreets Cashapp- FTSPortland #MutualAid #PDX #MutualAidPortland

It’s a beautiful Junuary day in Portland, Oregon.

ICE has brought its new tactic of moving to dismiss cases & detaining people to PDX. One person was taken yesterday but others were not because they were informed of their options in time. Please spread this updated KYR training from PIRC & allied groups far and wide. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

He needed air. The price was $539. When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price. 5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler. He paid with his life. www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news... #MedSky #SciSky #PedsSky #PulmSky

Does anybody need an AWP panelist (me!) who can talk about: - writing with kids - writing with kids plus a day job - publishing both short story collection and novel - other things such as …? Please reach out if so!! I’m near Baltimore and will be there by hook or by crook.

So this is a Nazi. Alt text: Photo showing a patch worn by one of the “cops” deployed in Minneapolis right now. It shows a skull wearing a horned Viking helmet, surrounded by fake runes or occult symbols. Text around the circumference of the patch reads “St. Paul Field Office Special Response Team”

um, you couldn’t PAY ME to touch this book or support it. never in a thousand years. wow. ew. ick. 📚💙

San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat

Friends, how about a little something to cut through the darkness? www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Wvg...

A few hundred people from Oregon and Washington have gathered at the Northwest ICE Processing Center—a for-profit detention center in Tacoma, WA—asking for the release of Jorge Luis Reinaldo and nearly 1,500 others held inside. A bus just passed, transporting another detainee into the facility.

GOP claimed that COVID contact tracing was “government overreach.” They said that background checks violated freedom. They wanted to ban data collection about gun violence. But now they have hired Palantir to track us all. This is the machinery of a surveillance state, run by billionaires.

These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to. This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented. So ICE took her into custody. The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck. "I can't breathe."

Just a few weeks now! I’m so excited to meet a new class of students!

Ever wonder what it’s like being married to a D&D player? My husband’s friend just knocked on the door and said, “Can you give this to Bill?” It’s a hand-drawn pirate map on antiqued paper with the edges burned.

Algunos personajes de HAN DE CAER DEL TODO posan alrededor del libro que les dio la vida (es un decir) gracias a @tramaeditorial.bsky.social. Disponible ya en tramaeditorial.es/libro/han-de... y en la caseta 314 de la Feria del Libro de Madrid.

An anti-vax, far right conspiracy-mongering shitposter is pushing a ballot initiative to end Oregon’s wildly successful and popular vote by mail system. When it goes down in flames, he will claim the vote was rigged. What a colossal waste of time and resources. www.wweek.com/news/state/2...

Democratic Party counters with: "how do we support this proposal so that we don't alienate moderates?"

YIMBY's of the world, take note. THIS is how you implement and *message* pro housing, pro density policy. This shit isn't rocket science, it's just explaining what people already want and know in authentic, plain language. Repeat for most progressive policies.
