Representative McIver was criminally charged because she tried to inspect the Delaney Hall ICE detention center in Newark It’s been reported that 4 immigrants have escaped from this facility Don’t be shocked if Trump, Kristi Noem or Tom Homan try to somehow link McIver with this incident

What’s happening in NJ? “Four detainees at Newark facility have escaped” Here’s what they’re not telling us: People held at Delaney Hall Detention Center went nearly 24 hours without food or adequate water. When they were finally fed, all they received were a couple slices of bread.

Prices were double this last weekend for WorldPride.

From the moment I saw that positive pregnancy test, I knew I would do *anything* to protect this little one. That’s what being a parent is and I refuse to judge or condemn anyone who seeks a better life for their children.

BREAKING: Marines detain American citizen in Los Angeles, Israel and Iran continue to launch significant strikes, another U.S. citizen detained for looking like an undocumented immigrant, and more. All the news you missed: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Imagine serving your country in the Marines and having your wife abducted by ICE. www.wbrz.com/news/ice-age...

As I recall, a Dem elected official said of TACO's win, Dems would disrupt everything the Nazi party tried to do. Claim kinda went the way of The Wall.

What happened to @padilla.senate.gov at Secretary Noem’s press conference yesterday is beyond reprehensible. Throwing down and handcuffing a sitting U.S. Senator for standing up for his constituents is unlawful overreach and the Administration’s attempt to suppress all opposing speech.

President Trump’s decision to freeze billions in foreign aid funding—without congressional approval—was not just unlawful, it was harmful. I joined 23 AGs to challenge this abuse of power. Full press release: www.marylandattorneygeneral.gov/press/2025/0...

American Conversations: Senator Jon Tester on the Senate markup of the budget reconciliation bill, a committee added requirement that government sell about 3 MIL acres of public land. l'm worried that many people are missing this addition @hcrichardson.bsky.social www.youtube.com/live/-Z24G0k...

Impeachment will be like Reverse American Idol. Everyone watching at home has to phone a specific hotline to communicate their preferred outcome. You can call every day if you want to increase your impact. Instead of crowning the next American Idol, we're removing this year's American Tyrant.

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

Seeing several people/local groups in Silver Lake and Echo Park report ICE is either on site or set to do raids on Friday, 6/13, agents dressed as construction workers.

Our corporate-owned food system is decimating ecosystems & driving insects to extinction. But without insects we have no food system. We urgently take food out of the hands of multinationals, we change what we eat & how we produce it. Or we watch a planet starve.

So a Senator gets manhandled by Gestapo guards. The first email response I get from present Dem leadership is screeching outrage and telling me I have to send money. Jesus.

“if they can do this to a senator they can do this to anybody” they already are doing it to everybody wtf do you think weve been saying

USMC Ret. Lt. Colonel Joe Plenzler deployed with the same Marine battalion now heading to Los Angeles. Marines training for war are now being deployed against American citizens. This crosses a dangerous line. Brothers, remember your ethos, #RememberYourOath.

Rumblings within the fascist party suggest that TACO is already struggling to find a way to exempt farm workers from deportment. Deport their thousands and American food production disappears. Rich foreigners will buy the land.

Wait, so Noem pretty much said in that presser that they're sending the military occupation to "liberate" California from its "socialist" government? Can someone put that on a GIANT portable screen for the National Guardsmen to see the perversion of the oath they swore?

This guy is just posted up outside of Congress and I’m honestly not sure what his political views are but I agree

Let me get this straight: the ucp government has banned windmills in certain areas to protect the viewscapes of the same mountains they now want to mine for coal. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Stephen Miller is a bitter, spiteful, cold-hearted man — venomous in his words, ruthless in his actions, brimming with seething hatred, malicious intent, and a twisted, sadistic delight in others’ pain.

USAGM today urgently called back to work the staff of the Voice of America's Farsi language service. All had been on paid admin leave for the past three months with the rest of VOA's silenced journalists.

Yikes

Just released Reuters/Ipsos poll, for what it's worth:

ICE TRIED TO ROLL OUT IN Manhattan-New Yorkers said "NAH" AND SENT THEM BACK INSIDE!!

A bit of good news. Can’t overstate how difficult it is to get most schools to actually implement disability law. I can’t think of a single year where the school actually abided by my daughter’s IEP. And we’ve been in relatively good schools for kids w/disabilities www.npr.org/2025/06/12/n...

EXCLUSIVE: @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social just spoke to @padilla.senate.gov about what happened at the Kristi Noem presser — and what comes next

ICE officer justifying the arrest of an undocumented immigrant with no criminal record: “Although … he hasn’t committed a crime, that doesn’t mean he can’t potentially commit a crime.”

I don’t remember Marjorie Taylor Greene ever being forcibly removed and handcuffed after heckling during President Biden’s State of the Union, because…*checks notes* we were living in a democracy back then.

This headline about sums up how far America has fallen: Florida's Plan to Replace Migrant Workers With Children Falls Apart www.newsweek.com/florida-plan...

Noem said the federal gov was in California to LIBERATE the city from its own elected representatives?! WTAF. No wonder Padilla had a fucking question to ask.
