"This case highlights the significant threat posed to U.S. citizens by frequent ICE errors, which are exacerbated when local law enforcement agencies participate in immigration enforcement...” www.bet.com/article/6rdn...

the takeaway from this is that, for all practical purposes, stephen miller is the acting president of the united states. trump is just play-acting as the boss, as he did on the Apprentice. (gift link) www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

"We establish no religion in this country, we command no worship, we mandate no belief. Nor will we ever. Church and State are, and must remain, separate." --President Ronald Reagan, whom I usually never quote

ICE chase down & tackle U.S. citizen to the ground—because he "looked illegal." The agents in tactical gear slink away from the scene after realizing mistake. Their only explanation: "Why were you running?" Probably because 2 masked men with guns were trying to kidnap him. El Monte, California.

The idea that Trump adheres to deadlines is absolutely ludicrous. The man promised us a healthcare plan over 450 weeks ago. It's been infrastructure week since I was born. Russia sanctions are supposed to be coming in two weeks.

She’s terrific. Well deserved recognition!

Guy who has golfed 33 days this year thinks Americans need to work more.

“The Blues Brothers” premieres 45 years ago today. 🎂 Universal didn’t want Aretha for the role of Mrs. Murphy. They wanted the band that sang “Car Wash”. Belushi and Aykroyd said no.

It is not illegal to take pictures.

The same people who can’t stop talking about Biden’s health won’t ask Trump why this keeps happening.

No more waiting to get a drug approved in the US. All you have to do is bend the knee. FDA commissioner will now issue vouchers to companies he finds aligned w national priorities to shorten their drug application review time to 1-2 months instead of standard 10-12 months. See how fascism works?

OMFG, the HPV vaccine 😩 Having the nation's public health now led by the world's most dangerous, most extreme, & most notorious anti-vaxxer, one who has made a fortune peddling disgusting anti-vaccine lies, is going to get many people killed www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

THIS IS ABSOLUTE INSANITY. 👇👇

Here's a public relations disaster of biblical proportions by ICE How to inflate peaceful resistance and protest beyond your ability to withstand it

just say you’re a racist POS who’s mad slavery was outlawed

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

ICE and the DHS have claimed multiple times an increase in assaults against their agents to justify officers wearing masks and refusing to identify themselves. The data states otherwise. https://trib.al/xRANYpj

Let’s be blunt. China and Russia are already racing to dominate AI while we still debate if it’s even worth it. Hesitation is no option, we need to lead smart, and strong. My latest (in reply) adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/we-cant-af...

Could someone generate an AI video of ICE agents checking a pitcher’s immigration papers after walking off the mound at Dodger Stadium? Thanks in advance.

You can put them in the rank order of your preference, but they are all bad. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

WATCH— @mizzwelch.bsky.social : "Mike Johnson is a rapture prepper like Cruz. You have a sect of MAGA that supports Israel because they want the Jews there so Jesus can come back for the rapture." (WAPO: “Half evangelicals support 🇮🇱 for end-times prophecy” www.washingtonpost.com/news/politic...)

Yesterday in Pasadena CA, elderly people were randomly scooped up at gunpoint by ICE at a bus stop next to a strip mall where we take our kid to get donuts all the time. All because they looked “illegal.” From ABC7 on Weds June 18th 2025.

This is shocking. Pure totalitarianism from DHS, and also blatantly unconstitutional. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

They've got enough money to throw us into another war, but not enough money to fund the suicide prevention hotline. Very "pro-life." Very "pro-family." So "GREAT."

🚨🚨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‼️
