This is how it’s done! FRIDAY: South Park, San Diego, neighbors weren’t having it. When ICE rolled up on an Italian restaurant in unmarked cars and started grabbing workers, the community hit the streets. (Sound up)

Donald is creating a database of private personal information about every American -- literally hundreds of data points each. This is a far deeper and more dangerous breach of privacy than just about anything we've seen. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/t...

“While much of the media was busy running a full-scale PR rehabilitation tour for Elon Musk—casting him as a bold disruptor who stepped away from government and claiming that his unauthorized DOGE project had merely failed to “cut waste,”—the real story slipped past the headlines” My latest…

The stupid is just much too much

Correct.

The entire point.

Thou shalt not tie up children in zip ties and then deport them, for that maketh thou a MONSTER. A MONSTER! THE PEOPLE DOING ZIPTYING CHILDREN ARE MONSTERS!

This is a master class in “what not to do when you’re facing a publicity crisis”. Joni still has no clue what she did to deserve our animosity towards her, and decided that the moment called for a public video in a cemetery, in which she further demeans her constituents, who simply want to live.

We need more of this, all across the country. I'mJus'Sayin'.

@rockymntnmike.bsky.social Wondering: No Taco Man to the tune of Macho Man yet?????

Just to be clear, these amounts are PER MONTH:

Beyond parody.

These are not unknown men. They were ATF agents in plainclothes, assigned to work with ICE. They are on video showing their ATF badges. This is an incident that has been extensively reported on by local New Hampshire media. www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...

Democratic Congressional offices should be holding trainings on resistance under authoritarian governments if they're not doing it already. They should also be calling in state police, National Guard and other security forces to protect them. We're already there.

Homeland Security records reveal that officials knew that more than half of the 238 deportees were labeled as having no criminal record in the U.S. and had only violated immigration laws. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

‼️‼️

Even before latest thing I've been telling people for months Joni Ernst is way more vulnerable next year than people think. Dems should be investing a lot right now laying the ground work in the state.

Oh

VOTER: “But people will die!” (if you kick them of Medicaid) ERNST: “Well, we all are going to die.”

Trump is now blasting Leonard Leo & the Federalist Society for doing him wrong on suggesting which federal judges to nominated. That's right, Trump is biting the hand that feeds him...judges. Trump's desperation is showing. He's getting weaker, not stronger. This will not end well for Donald Trump.

This is your brain on drugs...any questions?

Another chaotic week wrapped up. Recharge this weekend with some self care. Find a bit of joy every day.

This is a very big deal.👇 www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

HHS Scty. RFK, Jr's war on our medical research capacity will devastate our ability to discover new cures for deadly diseases. Then what? 1. Many Americans will die of diseases for which cures will never be found; &, 2. Recreating what they break will take decades to rebuild. Just a travesty...

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.

Fiona Hill: "The United States is on a path toward full-on state repression."

An order from the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington provided no opinion or reasoning but directed the plaintiffs in the case to respond by June 5 and the administration by June 9. Appeals court reinstates Trump’s tariffs www.staradvertiser.com/2025/05/29/b...

JUST IN: President Donald Trump met with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for the first time in his second term, scolding him for not lowering borrowing costs. Powell maintained that any decisions won’t be based on the president’s demands.

So was his rousing, record-breaking speech on the floor the prelude for his...book???? After that vote for Kushner for ambassador, I can't help but be skeptical.

THREAD 🧵 Internal State Department records show that months of warnings have become a reality: The Trump administration’s sudden withdrawal of foreign humanitarian aid has brought about death, violence and unrest. 1/

The North Carolina Supreme Court has allowed a new law to take effect that strips the Democratic governor's power over the state election administration and hands it to the Republican state auditor. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

ICE agents rounded up around 40 people today across Martha’s Vineyard—grabbing some out of their cars. The sweeps were carried out as part of a series of traffic stops with the help of FBI and DEA agents. “You should be ashamed of yourselves,” one person shouted at several agents gathered outside.

She is an American citizen, the daughter of a U.S. Navy service member from Illinois, who was stationed in the Philippines during the Vietnam War. This is fascism, plain and simple.

Update: reports today that multiple legal observers were arrested today in New York at two separate immigration courts, for allegedly “obstructing” ICE. Not only that, apparently some immigration courts are barring the public from attending hearings. This mess is escalating fast.
