I’m sensing a theme…

This is absolutely outrageous. I was at Delaney Hall shortly after this incident. There were masked ICE agents there. Why masked? Because they don't want anyone to know the identities of the agents who assaulted an 80 year old congresswoman. www.axios.com/2025/05/10/t...

It’s called the Digital Equity Act. That word—“equity”—caught the White House’s attention. So now Trump is moving to nix funding—but it could cut off millions destined for red America.

This part

Abolish ICE doesn't sound too radical now does it?

A man pulled up to a gas station to fill up his truck. ICE agents surrounded him and took him away. But his children were left behind. “They arrested someone,” witness said. “They left the children inside the truck.” www.sfgate.com/centralcoast...

As a doctor, pediatrician, mother, voter, I say It's NOT OK to take away medications from anyone. How do you stop the #outofcontrolCBP? #NoOneVotedForThis What should one do in this situation if it happens to you? who do you call? ACLU? #MomSky

Defendants are presumed innocent unless convicted. Every US Atty (or so I thought) knows you can’t weigh in on guilt like this.

The same people who went apoplectic when asked to wear a mask to *protect people* in a pandemic eagerly wear one to *kidnap people* in Gestapo cosplay.

Ras Baraka elevated in 1 day for standing up to fascism. Democrats, learn from this.

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

I think about this comic at least once a week

How about some basic rules? --All law enforcement officers should wear identification --No law enforcement officers should be allowed masks --All law enforcement officers should wear and use body cams ...oh and... --All law enforcement officers should understand, respect & follow the law

“.. Under this deal, it will now be cheaper to import a UK vehicle with very little U.S. content than a USMCA compliant vehicle from Mexico or Canada that is half American parts.” @thehill.com @scottlincicome.bsky.social thehill.com/business/529...

🚨 SCOOP: DOGE just cut millions in Labor Department grants to support getting women into manufacturing & construction jobs & tackling gender-based violence & harassment at work. It may be illegal since some grants were mandated by law. New @motherjones.com: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Why is Trump’s name in this headline? Both India and Pakistan acknowledge a cease-fire. India says the cease-fire agreement was “worked out directly between the two countries.” The New York Times is never going to stop being gamed by Trump.

YIKES @soundcloud.dev no thank you

Sure Jan.

🧵1/ RFK Jr. says childhood vaccines weren’t tested and that COVID boosters need full trials every year. That’s not how vaccines—or science—work. Time for a #FactCheckFriday! Let’s talk about how vaccines are tested, and how this kind of talk puts real people at risk. www.cdc.gov/vaccines/bas...

this guy hates this country, its laws and its traditions

This budget does not and would not belong to a country moving in the right direction www.stephensemler.com/p/a-closer-l...

When "required by law" becomes just a suggestion.

Newark mayor Ras Baraka was just arrested by DHS after visiting an immigrant detention center called Delaney Hall which opened illegally without permits from the city he runs. This is fascism in action.

part of why white supremacists & the wider right have worked so hard to falsely frame immigration as an "invasion," & why it has manufactured propaganda about a "great replacement," is to create the pretext for precisely this: an authoritarian government that gets to decide who it gets to disappear

Brave patriotic ICE officials, as always, covering their faces out of shame.

My local library just sent out this email in appreciation of Dr. Carla Hayden, the first Black woman to be Librarian of Congress, who was fired by Trump because she's apparently a disloyal "DEI" hire.

“The controversial 1,000-bed facility is owned by the private prison company GEO Group, which entered into a 15-year, $1 billion contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in February.” $1 BILLION dollars lining the pockets of a private prison company. www.insidernj.com/baraka-arres...

My latest: "No Country For Due Process" The Trump regime kidnapped innocent immigrants, such as Abrego Garcia and Rumeysa Ozturk, without due process. Today, they arrested Mayor Baraka. Tomorrow, they'll come after you. thelefthook.substack.com/p/no-country...

"Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes." -Anne Franka 01/13/1943 The illegitimate, 34-count criminal felon and his illegal regime and enablers all need to go! When criminals rule the land, no one is safe.

Fantastic news! BREAKING: Tufts Student Rümeysa Öztürk Released From ICE Detention by Judge zeteo.com/p/breaking-t...

Show me you're a white supremacist regime without telling me. wapo.st/4kb2HLw

A federal judge just released grad student Rumeysa Ozturk from detention. She was kidnapped off the street by masked ICE agents and has languished for 2 months in Louisiana Her crime? Co-writing an op-ed for the Tufts newspaper critical of Israel. How do people support this? Why?

The MAGA-backed SAVE Act would require citizens to provide documentary proof of citizenship to register for federal elections, but 146 million Americans don't have passports — nearly as many as the 153 million who voted in 2024. Tell your Senators to vote NO on the SAVE Act.

🚨THIS JUST HAPPENED: Last year, two oil CEOs were busted for conspiring with foreign governments to raise Americans' gas prices. Then the pair of oil CEOs funneled cash to Trump's political machine. Now Trump's regulators are ending their punishment. www.levernews.com/they-inflate...

Exclusive: A series of internal government messages obtained by The Post reveal how U.S. embassies and the State Department have pushed nations to clear hurdles for U.S. satellite companies, often mentioning Starlink by name.

🚨NEWS: I've obtained a list of the Medicaid cuts in the Republican reconciliation package. The big one is that they're going to raise premiums and co-pays on beneficiaries at or above the federal poverty line ($15,650 for single people, $21,150 for a couple). That's what helps pay for the tax cuts.

“Your microphone works. Do you condemn this?” I asked my Republican colleagues — who say they care about antisemitism — if they condemn Trump pardoning neo-Nazis. Unfortunately, the party of “Jewish space lasers” doesn't give a damn about stopping antisemitism.

"The fact that conservatives are rallying around her speaks to the victimhood mindset that’s gripping today’s Republican Party.” — MSNBC’s Ja’han Jones

This is fascism.

THE most important political issue facing us now is our corrupt campaign finance system & Citizens United. As long as Musk, AIPAC & crypto money can buy politicians, we’re not living in a democracy. We must end billionaire control of our politics and publicly fund elections.

Getting closer!
