Tiktok goes away on Juneteenth. Black people really can't have shit.

"The local police arrived to prevent the community from protecting their neighbor from an unlawful kidnapping. They succeeded, and in the process arrested two of the people who tried to stop it." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Some federal employees have been identified after Attorney General Pam Bondi began seeking records and testimony from journalists.

The Trump administration is exploring plans to suspend habeas corpus rights for immigrants, one of the most fundamental protections in the Constitution.

A federal judge in San Francisco appeared ready to temporarily block the Trump administration's sweeping overhaul of the federal government.

NO SUGAR COATING IT. IF HABEAS CORPUS IS SUSPENDED WE'RE CATAGORICALLY FUCKED.

If local police continue to collaborate with ICE to brutalize their own communities, then community self-policing and neighborhood barricades may be coming. www.nbcboston.com/news/local/h...

What a thread on the president’s pick for US Attorney for DC, Jeanine Pirro.

Another drunk. Great.

No words… 😢

How long before they start deporting black people back to Africa? I'm being so serious.

Blowing up buildings for gender reveals aren't what good guys do. It's what monsters do.

Amendment V | U.S Constitution: "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger."

Yeah so if the President of the United States said live on tape that he doesn't think he needs to support the Constitution, that's grounds for removal. Not impeachment. Removal.

A visual analysis shows the U.S. likely bombed a migrant detention center in Yemen on April 28. At least three U.S.-made GBU-39 bombs at the site of the attack, which killed 68 African migrants, according to the Houthis, a militant group that controls northern Yemen.

Job growth was less than last month and you're spinning it like hundreds of thousands have been laid off? Filth.

Trump just signed an executive order to block all funding to PBS and NPR. As someone who was raised on PBS as a kid, this makes my loathing for the orange much deeper.

Here it is. A timetable of 100 days of corruption. Breathtaking. Heartbreaking. We cannot let this stand.

The New York Times is showing cowardice in the face of bullying from Trump and veiling it as resistance. His policies are mostly illegal and unpopular, especially immigration. You just wasted the time of your readers with this milquetoast garbage. Be better or go away at this point.

This is a very, VERY big deal. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/u...

This is Linda Martin. A few years ago, the FBI seized her life savings: $40,200. The kicker: She was never charged with a crime—and the government couldn’t tell her why it took her money. Martin is far from the first. But she is trying to make sure she is the last. A thread.

ICE has begun raiding the homes of American citizens. A widely shared story out of Oklahoma describes a disturbing incident where a woman and her children were dragged into their yard half-naked. Reports are mounting across multiple states of agents targeting the wrong properties.

Trump said that he does have the ability to bring back Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who was wrongly deported to El Salvador, but is not willing to do so.

Yes, this is a real tweet.

READ IT AGAIN!!! Federal law prohibits threatening federal judges, attempting to influence or obstruct the administration of justice. Specifically, 18 U.S.C. § 115 and 18 U.S.C. § 1503 address these issues. Threats can be made verbally, in writing, or other forms of communication.

Elon Musk’s promised savings from his DOGE operation has shrunk from $2 trillion to what he now claims is $150 billion, or just 7.5% of the amount initially promised. Now, new estimates suggest his cost-cutting crusade might actually end up costing MORE than what he claims to have saved taxpayers.

Me too.

Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

Wasn't Elon not supposed to be running DOGE? Remember that?

I asked ChatGPT to breakdown the EO that would make America "merit" based. It kind of went off. Based.

ICE officers are now reportedly required to meet arrest quotas each day, from a few hundred to between 1,200 and 1,500 nationwide. Jonathan Blitzer reports on the mystery of the agency’s unidentifiable arrests.
