Goodnight everybody

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

Federal officers entered Rep. Jerry Nadler’s office in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday and handcuffed and briefly detained one of his aides. The confrontation happened shortly after the aide observed federal agents detaining migrants in a public hallway outside an immigration courtroom.

Trump would HATE it if you took this free Harvard course on Civic Engagement, so definitely don’t do that, okay? 😇 pll.harvard.edu/course/we-pe... #PeoplesMovement #50501Movement #June14 #NoKings

Investigators believe the man may have been framed to get him arrested & deported before he could testify in a case where he was a victim of assault. The person who spoke to the AP did so on condition of anonymity, because they couldn't speak publicly. apnews.com/article/ice-...

Thou shalt not tie up children in zip ties and then deport them, for that maketh thou a MONSTER. A MONSTER! THE PEOPLE DOING ZIPTYING CHILDREN ARE MONSTERS!

Seven states in the middle of the country have, at least for now, near-free reign to pass laws and draw districts that racially discriminate against voters thanks to an astonishing court ruling. Here's why this matters. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana... (1/9)

Psycho B****

It’s time to unabashedly call for Trump’s impeachment & removal from office. No other human in history has been as broader reaching a danger to America’s economy, infrastructure, environment, health, education, laws and freedom. STAND UP #JUNE14 and join the #NOKINGS rally. No excuses. mobilize.us

These men were building us homes. The violence is being committed by ICE — masked men, no ID, no warrants. Don’t believe the rhetoric being pushed by violent criminals about ‘violent criminals’ cause it’s all BS. Call your Reps and demand they hold hearings, sanctioned or not. This needs to stop.

NEW: As the White House redirects counterterrorism personnel and funds toward mass deportations, a state-level scramble is on to preserve efforts once supported by Washington. The result is a patchwork approach that leaves many areas uncovered. By @hannahallam.bsky.social
