Re: Today's ICE Raids in the City of LA As City Controller, we will be formally requesting information from the LAPD to determine the financial impact these ICE raids have had in using City resources, such as the LAPD’s involvement and response to the resulting demonstrations.

A sitting president threatens a private citizen over future political donations. Not in North Korea, or China, or Russia. This is the New United States.

Trump Is Building a Global Gulag for Immigrants Captured by ICE The U.S. has reportedly explored, sought, or struck deals w/ ~20 countries, including those @StateDept has cited for human rights abuses. My latest w/ @jonahmv.bsky.social for @theintercept.com theintercept.com/2025/05/15/t...

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...

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

The Russia's Future channel, launched by Navalny's widow Yulia Navalnaya and Reporters Without Borders, began broadcasting Wednesday, on what would have been the late Russian activist's 49th birthday.

Oh fuck, here we go again. ▶ The justices cleared the way in the first case for DOGE representatives to access internal systems at the Social Security Administration that contain the sensitive data of millions of Americans

Good morning. If the Republican budget bill passes: - 40% of the country will lose money - 15 million people will lose their health care - the richest families will get a $270,000 tax cut - the debt will go up 2.4 TRILLION dollars Who is asking for that??

When 15 million Americans lose their health care and plunge into personal crisis, none of them are going to give a shit about a made-for-clicks twitter fight between two billionaires arguing about who gets the bigger share of the corruption spoils.

Eventually, when all is said and done, we will realize that the United States owes Kamala Harris a presidency.

Dominican man thrown to the ground and arrested outside immigration courtroom just now, an activist, who is a US citizen was also taken away in the chaotic scene. A lawyer later tried to ask the remaining agents where the activist was taken. "you just arrested a US citizen which is illegal."

BREAKING The President of California’s largest union has been detained during an ICE raid.

Chief of Nashville, criminal division resigns over decision to charge Abrego Garcia. That’s a big story and the details will likely be very damning for the administration.

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

“Her lawyer’s in the bathroom.” Trump’s masked ICE Gestapo snatches a woman when her lawyer goes to the bathroom, then forcibly carries her into an elevator after she appears to faint.

So are we just teaching our kids they have to obey anyone with a mask and an unmarked car and an oddly-fitting vest and zip ties now and go with them? Is this where we’re at?

Allow yourself to enjoy today’s NY Post cover. You deserve it.

This feels like Alien vs Sexual Predator

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

BOSTON’s Mayor Wu rips ICE for hiding behind masks.

ICYMI — @MarshaBlackburn’s bill would lock people up for 5 years for ID’ing masked ICE agents grabbing people off the streets without due process: www.tennessean.com/story/news/l... What are they so ashamed of? And If they say what the mayor did was illegal, why do they need a new law?

Elon says Trump is a liar.

Germany’s Chancellor Merz presented Trump the birth certificate of his German grandfather, Friedrich Trump. It was a clever jab to remind Trump he’s a German immigrant.
