First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors. This ain’t about law and order. This is what authoritarianism looks like.

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

In the future, ICE prisons will be turned into museums documenting a horrible and evil past. Be on the right side of history. Speak up. Speak out.

When Huerta says “We are a power” He means the farmworker, the janitor, the nurse, the home care provider. The workers. And he’s right. You can’t detain a movement. #FreeDavidHuerta #FreeThemAll

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

I'm giving you a mission for this Memorial Day holiday weekend. I want you to talk to two people—friends, neighbors, cookout attendees—about why Trump's proposed budget would be a disaster for American kids. We owe the next generation every chance, and this isn't it.

It’s especially painful that this decision comes on the eve of the fifth anniversary of George Floyd’s murder — the very tragedy that sparked this investigation and the urgent push for reform. Walking away from this agreement, after confirming the need for it, is unconscionable.

Reporter: Why would Americans feel anxiety if they're already Americans? Because due process and habeas corpus grant us the right to prove it. Even an American needs a hearing to prove they're American if the cop doesn't believe them. Do you see how this works?

Thrilled to learn from DOJ's argument that the 14th Amendment applied to the "children of former slaves, not illegal immigrants, who didn't exist as a class yet" that modern firearms are not protected by the Second Amendment!

Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi went to a consulate in Istanbul to get a document he needed to get married. Instead, he was murdered and dismembered on the orders of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, now a close pal of Donald Trump.

Self-identifying as a centrist is perhaps the most cynical and amoral political identity you can have because you're just openly admitting your beliefs aren't really beliefs they're just strategic positions that only exist relative to others in the room you happen to be in

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

Trump may not know whether he has to uphold the Constitution during his presidency, but hundreds of Vermont lawyers do know. I congratulate them, and thousands of lawyers throughout the country, who are fighting to uphold American democracy and the rule of law.

I really wish every reason who is staying on Substack because they like the features would get this through their heads. You’re being used to launder fascism, guys. You’re allowing yourselves to be used because you like the Live feature and all your friends are there. Get off of Substack. Please.

Trump has set up a new club where CEOs, tech bros, and foreign oligarchs can pay $500,000 to join in order to get access to the Trump Cabinet who will all be there regularly. Just because the grift is all public doesn’t mean this isn’t the most corrupt White House in history.

Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez was detained under a law that was blocked by a judge and was not meant to target U.S. citizens. On top of that, a judge refused to uphold his Fourth Amendment rights, and instead surrendered jurisdiction of a U.S. citizen who is acknowledged to have committed no crime to ICE.
