ICE Is Already $1 Billion Overbudget And Could Run Out Of Cash Next Month

Last week, Philly PD dispersed the anti-ICE protests by beating pro-immigrant activists up with batons, in broad daylight. PPD also used motorized dirt bikes to nearly run over people. My latest:

Zuck reliably making the worst moves regardless of whatever technological wave he’s trying to shoehorn his way into

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

🎶 And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free 🎶

"A reporter from @thecity.nyc had overheard one agent say to another minutes before Lander’s arrest, 'Do you want to arrest the Comptroller?'"

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

Context note: DOJ doesn’t turn over evidence to Congress if they have a viable investigation in the works.

The Trump Organization's newly-announced T1 smartphone will likely be made in China, experts said, despite claims the device will be manufactured in the U.S.

Bluesky is dying... or Bluesky helped create one of the most effective spontaneous protest movements of the year?

For months, @wired.com has been working on something about this moment's big fights: pushback against immigration raids, Tesla Takedown, LGBTQ+ rights. When we started, we didn't expect to publish following some of the biggest protests of Trump’s second term. www.wired.com/how-to-win-a...

Except half the scanning AI software they use will see "diversity" and kick up flags. You can't win here.

today i learned CNN's business page has an actual "Greed and Fear Index" todays level is green (greed)

3rd amendment jurisprudence soon

Sent to me from a source who took this video yesterday who says LAPD pushed an unhoused person walking in the crosswalk. The fall caused the woman’s head to crack open. LAPD dragged and left her bleeding on the sidewalk, providing no medical care. The person a group of onlookers took her to the ER.

A California cop shot a photojournalist in the HEAD during a protest—despite him standing alone, wearing a press badge, and filming from a distance. We're past the "bad apple" stage, folks.

The assassin 1) had ties to New Apostolic Reformation & 2) allegedly had hit list In 2022 I went to New Apostolic Reformation conference (where Trump Jr & Roger Stone spoke) A speaker projected this image, prophesying “Angel of death” would visit these Dem political opponents. It was a hit list

i think about this a lot goodnight

We've updated our story on the alleged Minnesota shooter to include details from anti-abortion and anti-trans sermons he gave in 2023.

"A man who was arrested for impersonating an officer during the Chicago ICE protests in the Loop Thursday afternoon had a loaded weapon when he was taken into custody, according to police sources."

incredible things are happening in China

NOW: Hundreds have taken the streets of Austin in an impromptu march following the conclusion of the #NoKings rally at the Capitol. Starting separate thread to track the march here.

When in doubt, put on the J6 hat and hit that dictator parade where the military is marching and no way we didn’t fight a king or anything. That lady bought a fucking shirt that says big beautiful military parade and is crying. This timeline is off the rails

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

LAPD just tear gassed hundreds of protesters.

This looks like an 80s comedy where John Belushi & some stoners steal a tank for shits & giggles

It’s really heartbreaking to think of all of the other ways the millions of dollars of parade money could have been spent to truly support our military. It could have helped active duty service members and veterans in need… for example, just imagine if it had gone toward supporting the VA instead.

Protester: I’m going into fourth grade and I’m 9 years old

I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played. CINEMATIC

Incredible. And the spectacle is all the more jarring to watch go ahead in the context of this morning's political assassination.

cops: "looks like they're having a good time... ...a little too good."
