The modern power structure is reliant on bigotry to stray in power, anything reliant on bigotry doesn’t deserve its existence.

“I promise you, it would have been a war crime.” that’s what Alejandro Barranco told me what would have happened if he treated a detainee when he was deployed to Afghanistan with the Marines like federal agents treated his father.

CE officers detained the wife of a Marine Corps veteran in Louisiana during a routine immigration appointment in New Orleans. Immigration law experts say directives for strict immigrant enforcement have cast away practices of deference previously afforded to military families.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

LENOIR CITY, TN — pregnant fiancée of an American lost her baby in ICE detention after they denied her prenatal care after pleading for help for days. (@ltgovmcnally & @lowellrussell21’s district) Unimaginable cruelty. @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty nashvillebanner.com/2025/05/27/i...

This image is now absolutely everywhere over European media lmao

“In interviews with The Times, spokespeople for six veterans’ advocacy organizations said many troops were troubled by the assignment, which they viewed as overtly political and as pitting them against fellow Americans.” #NationalGuardMorale #LAProtests #Trump www.latimes.com/california/s...

THEY F*CKING TOOK THE ICE CREAM MAN! The photo says it all. Masked ICE goons grabbed Enrique Lozano in front of a Culver City, CA church. A Community Coalition helped the family identify the abandoned cart, locate his belongings. For 20 years, loved in the community. "Hardened criminals" - my ass.

Belatedly noticing that when the govt asked SCOTUS to clarify its order in the 3d-country removals case today (DVD), it also asked it to bar Judge Murphy from issuing any more injunctions without SCOTUS's preclearance or, alternatively, to remove Murphy from the case. It sees SCOTUS as its enforcer.

New data show that ICE is pulling record numbers of people off the streets who have no criminal convictions of any kind. This is not just a change from the Biden admin. This is a radical tactical shift compared to Trump 1.0. These arrests are up over 1,000% from 2017. www.cato.org/blog/ice-arr...

"It's important that we keep showing these videos, we keep talking about it because I still believe that on balance, the American people are not for this. We just need to show it to them." @timmiller.bsky.social‬ offers comments on the detention of a father of 3 Marines in Santa Ana, California.

Secretary Kennedy replaced CDC’s vaccine advisors based on false claims of conflicts of interest, and yet one of his new ACIP appointees reported more conflicts than all the 17 fired members combined. Striking.

The data is undeniable: •15 of top 16 states with the highest rates of infant mortality are red states that deny/ban repro access. •12 of top 13 states with the lowest rates of infant mortality are blue states that protect repro access. Why is this even a debate? www.qasimrashid.com/p/three-year...

The entire Virginia delegation- including all of the Democrats - just voted NOT to impeach Trump. Remember this when DPVA asks you for literally anything.

If you combine this with the obsession with teen athletes' genitalia with various scandals, it's hard to see the GOP as anything other than a pro-child-molestation party. www.kuow.org/stories/trum...

Neo-Nazi hate group faces federal lawsuit over efforts to intimidate Nashville communities

This is absolutely insane.

I have called RFK Jr. A lot of things over the years (decades!) but <checking oites> never outright a piece of shit. Consider that now done.

Senate Republicans' latest version of their budget bill would effectively bribe state governments to eliminate regulations against AI in order to receive federal funding for broadband expansion. Yet another reason it's a Big Ugly Nightmare.

Legitimate law enforcement doesn't have to hide from the police.

This important whistleblower account (from the DOJ attorney fired for being honest in court) paints an absolutely damning portrait of an administration engaged in a conscious and calculated effort to defy federal court orders. static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

An amendment to a placeholder Senate Bill in the Oregon legislature, posted late Monday night, seeks to phase out Multnomah County’s Preschool for All program by June 2027.

California National Guard troops under federal control were sent to operate in "the greater Los Angeles area." What the actual definition of that area is for Task Force 51 is isn't clear. But apparently it includes the Salton Sea. New from me @taskandpurpose.com taskandpurpose.com/news/nationa...

amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/06/... The lawlessness is growing by the day now they are beating people

Emil Bove, now a nominee to the federal bench, proposed defying court orders, former DOJ colleague says The account from a former DOJ lawyer comes as Bove is scheduled to face questions from the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Amazon buying farmland, "de-watering" it to lay cable, creating energy demand double what state currently needs, getting $8 billion in tax breaks. All for whatever Anthropic's next AI model is going to be. This will never be worth the tradeoff.

wow 14 million people losing Obamacare coverage. seems like a lot.

Andrew Cuomo was the US Secretary of Housing and is now running for mayor, where one of the largest agencies they manage is NYC's Housing Authority. And yet Cuomo literally had ChatGPT write his campaign housing policy. This is who the media and establishment want you to think is "serious"

This country desperately needs data privacy laws and bans on facial recognition but until we have that, this remains legal. www.404media.co/fucklapd-com...

If this holds up, it annihilates copyright across every industry. But the foundational finding here is false. Generative models are duplicating training data verbatim. Both text and images. That’s how artists and authors are recognizing their work in outputs.

“Bove stated that D.O.J. would need to consider telling the courts ‘fuck you’ and ignore any such order.” This story is just a blockbuster in every way - exposing Bove & others to both contempt and a suite of bar ethics charges. Hope to add more as time permits, but the whistleblower a hero.

🧊🧊🧊🚨🚨🚨 LOS ANGELES: ICE CURRENTLY ATTEMPTING TO KIDNAP PEOPLE FROM THE INGLEWOOD HOME DEPOT 8801 LA CIENEGA BLVD. BE SAFE! 🚨🚨🚨🧊🧊🧊

1. Stonewall National Monument took down trans flags and progress pride flags, opting only to fly the rainbow pride flag. It erases the trans people who led the Stonewall uprising. Thankfully, New Yorkers have been bringing their own and planting them. Subscribe to support our journalism.

these are kidnapping rapists and you can't tell me different until they put their names on their vests and take their masks off

They’re assaulting the mothers and fathers of US soldiers. Roving gangs of masked men grab human beings off the street. They send them without due process to prisons in countries they’re not even from where they are then sold into slavery. Make it stop!!!

Bombshell allegations by a DOJ whistleblower: Emil Bove—whom Trump has nominated to a federal appeals court—lied to courts and willfully defied their orders, then illegally fired the lawyers who tried to tell the truth in court. A massively damning document. static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they *knew* was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

Remember, this new normal -- in which gangs of masked armed gunmen are causing chaos in the streets, pulling weapons and assaulting innocent people, and no one can say if they're crooks or cops -- was all sold to Americans as a way to make us feel safer.

Major decision out of the Northern District of California. AI training on copyrighted material is fair use under the copyright act. This will have major implications for the AI industry and artists having their work stolen by AI companies. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. What's happened since? A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

JD Vance made his first big speech all about the need for European free speech, and now a Norwegian is banned from America because of this pic.

GOP attorneys general are pushing for legal immunity for the fossil fuel industry, just like gun manufacturers got in 2005. They're pointing to the gun example as something to emulate. www.eenews.net/articles/gop...

The Supreme Court rewarded this yesterday and the attorney who did it is about to be confirmed for a federal circuit court seat. The rule of law is dead.
