🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

Congress members have a legal right to conduct oversight at ICE facilities. This is the regime hiding its blatant abuses.

Trump won’t even bring his Intelligence Director to intelligence meetings. He doesn't even trust his own decisions, neither should you.

The active duty soldier who was placed in on an involuntary mental health hold after speaking out about ICE abuses has been released. He was given no treatment nor diagnosis and no reason for the hold.

20-year-old U.S. citizen Adrian Andrew Martinez was swarmed by ICE in Pico Rivera while defending someone. He never hit back—just struggled—before being slammed into a CBP van. No records. No lawyer. His mom can’t find him. This is abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop.

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

If you live in the US, you are in greater jeopardy today than you were 6 months ago. So is your family. So are your friends & neighbors. Virtually all the important parts of the U.S. gov't created to protect us are being shut down, gutted, or marginalized. My latest. newrepublic.com/article/1968...

LAPD shoves an unhoused woman to the ground so hard her skull cracks open and she’s knocked unconscious. They then carry her to the curb, prop her up and abandon her. Witnesses took her to the ER.

Gov Gavin Newsom’s TikTok page is 🔥

Adriana Smith did not give birth to a baby. She was used as an incubator, cut open, and a baby was taken out of her lifeless body. A Black woman was used as a science experiment.

Our best-case scenario right now is a worst-case scenario at almost any other time in American history.

half his brain ain’t there :/

Trump is back to selling scams—this time, it's a $499 phone. He’s doing what he does best: turning the presidency into a business deal. Republicans spent years investigating the Bidens despite no evidence of corruption or pay to play. (1/2)

NEWS: Ranking Member Raskin releases a new Committee staff analysis exposing how Trump’s corrupt pardon spree of nearly 1,600 criminals deprives victims of $1.3 BILLION in restitution and fines owed to them and American taxpayers.

Facts matter.

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

We’ve truly lost our way in this country. An 80-year-old vet who fought for this country just got arrested protesting Trump‘s parade. He deserves respect, not handcuffs.

Last night, Capitol Police arrested roughly 60 veterans and their family members outside the U.S. Capitol. The group had gathered to hold a peaceful sit-in on the Capitol steps, but police intentionally set up a barrier of bike racks to prevent them from demonstrating.

Here are Marines carrying out policing functions in direct violation of the Posse Comitatus Act. Although the district court's decision is stayed pending appeal, this was found to be unlawful and there is no doubt the appeals court will uphold this. So the arrest is prima facie illegal.

US marines detaining an US citizen in Los Angeles, CA This is escalation well beyond the National Guard. He won't stop using the military against us, this is only the beginning.

Yesterday, I met with a 12 year old boy in Oxnard, CA. His mom and dad have been fieldworkers for over 20 years. ICE agents snatched his parents from the fields and left this boy alone with no clue when he’ll see them again. A 6th grader.

Less than 5 months in: ☑️Arrested a judge ☑️Arrested a Democratic mayor ☑️Arrested a Democratic Congressperson ☑️Detained a Democratic Senator ☑️Threatening to arrest a Democratic Governor ☑️Investigating other political enemies ☑️Deploying Marines domestically They are not hiding their intentions.

Last night, @bradlander.bsky.social and I exposed Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace on the debate stage. With early voting starting tomorrow, we're cross-endorsing to defeat the ex-Gov. and win a city everyone can afford. Rank Brad #2!

Trump is getting richer. Are you? www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8vh...

"They took her in a car, in essence kidnapping her ... I met another young woman whose husband has quite literally disappeared" -- Newsom shares harrowing details of specific cases of ICE terrorizing immigrants in California

Reached ZERO trade deals. Ended/stopped ZERO wars. Militarized troops AGAINST citizens.

@markwaynemullin.bsky.social = filthy treasonous maga gutter trash.

Donald Trump is using brave American soldiers as props in his political performance. It's unconstitutional, it's immoral, and it's putting innocent lives at risk. This isn’t leadership. It’s a dangerous abuse of power.

"The administration’s definition of 'rebellion' is slipshod and ungrounded in law, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t think it through. It’s becoming increasingly clear that Trump believes that any pushback against his administration’s policies is criminal and must be suppressed."

Knowing they can’t easily deliver on mass deportation, Trump will want to make the public believe—especially those who could be potentially impacted—they can remove anyone and everyone. FEAR IS THEIR GOAL.

It can happen here. It is happening here.

Days after NOAA released figures showing the highest seasonal concentration of CO2 in recorded history, the EPA moved to roll back emission standards for power plants. "The EPA is trying to get out of the climate change business,” says one expert. www.wired.com/story/the-ep...

BREAKING: It appears that ICE may have conducted a hit and Run in Los Angeles in the last hour. krassencast.com/p/breaking-a...

Idiocracy was a documentary.

This is actually perfect. The emptiness makes it look as ridiculous and wasteful as it is.

If you haven’t heard of Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove… you have now. When she stepped out from the back without missing a beat, I knew it was on🔥 @kamlager-dove.house.gov

REED: Are you confident that no information has been exported from the Treasury Department by DOGE personnel? BESSENT: Not to my knowledge REED: Have you investigated it? BESSENT: We have strict protocols around that so there's no reason to believe there was

Double.

A woman walking home alone was shot point-blank with “non-lethal” rounds fired by officers in Los Angeles. A neighbor filmed the assault and rushed to help only to be fired on and ordered back.

Read every word. “But there’s no sidestepping a president deploying the military in an American city based on ludicrous falsehoods about a foreign invasion. Indeed, it’s hard to think of a clearer signpost on the road to dictatorship.”

“If you saw all this in any other country — soldiers sent to crush dissent, union leaders arrested, opposition politicians threatened — it would be clear that autocracy had arrived. The question, now, is whether Americans who hate tyranny can be roused to respond.” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/o...

MAGA: “The 2nd Amendment guarantees a militia to fight tyranny!” Also MAGA: “It’s fine that Trump seized California’s National Guard against the governor’s will.” You can’t have it both ways. Read why this matters. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/a-well-reg...

"The normalization of routine and open-ended deployment of the military at home requires that the public become accustomed to this departure from historic practice." Today Trump went further down the path of nomralizing the politicization of the military. Awful. www.thebulwark.com/p/its-always...

New from 404 Media: Delta, United, American etc don't want you to know they sold your flight data to DHS. The country's airlines sell bulk names and flight itineraries to DHS to be searched without a warrant. Contract tells DHS to not reveal where this data came from www.404media.co/airlines-don...

NEW: A data broker owned by the country’s major airlines, including Delta, American Airlines, and United, collected US travelers’ domestic flight records, sold access to them to Customs and Border Protection (CBP). www.wired.com/story/airlin...
