Brutal.

Markwayne Mullin is pretty much saying, explicitly, that the invasion of CA is revenge for integration.

All just a little bit of history repeating...

Remember when Brad Lander Caught Kristi Noem Stealing $80 Million? www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/18/r...

NEW: ProPublica has sued the FDA, accusing the agency of withholding information about the safety and availability of generic drugs critical to millions of Americans.

As I've been saying more and more lately, "We've been here the whole time."

The TL;DR on Whiskey Pete's testimony before SASC: He admitted he was switching the names of bases back to honor traitors. Markwayne Mullin basically said the invasion of CA is revenge for integration. Whiskey Pete defended promoting an antisemite to be DOD spox.

BREAKING: Social Security’s trustees report that the system is fully affordable, as long as we make the wealthy pay in at the same rate as the rest of us.

Karen Bass: "It's felt in LA like we're part of a grand experiment. How far will the public tolerate the federal government intervening and seizing power from a governor? I think it's being tried out here."

Can someone in immigration law explain to me how this is legal?

Introverts: A One Man Band

THIS! Department of Homeland Security is fascist in conception, in name, and in execution. It was inevitable that they would be turned against us. The word 'Homeland' is not a natural usage for Americans, and it sounds Nazi af because it is

NEW: Gov. Hochul announces that the state is dedicating $50 million for legal assistance for immigrants like those who may be targeted by ICE when leaving the federal courthouse

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Sorry it’s CNN: www.cnn.com/2025/06/17/p... Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem transported to DC-area hospital after allergic reaction, DHS says | CNN Politics

CNN: Breaking news just into CNN, sources say DHS secretary Kristi Noem this afternoon has been taken to the hospital.

This is exactly the right tone when privileged people suffer minor or temporary consequences standing up for powerless people. It’s still about the powerless people. ICE is Gestapo trash.

HAPPENING NOW: New Yorkers are protesting against ICE’s illegal arrest of NYC comptroller Brad Lander.

a nation on edge holds its breath as the former host of celebrity apprentice huddles with his advisors, the wrestlemania ceo and the former co-host of fox & friends weekends

True.

Now that's an orange king I would support! #orangecat #cat #gingercat #nokings

they're getting super comfortable arresting elected officials

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

what is it called when people who aren't cops and don't have a warrant drag you away, because I don't think "arrest" is the word

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

Charlie Chaplin's powerful condemnation of autocracy! Same as it ever was: #ICE #Autocracy #Oligarchy #Fascism #Trump www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7GY...

Trump is sending ICE to blue cities to enact the "largest mass deportation program in history" and Chicago is at the top of the list. I'm calling for every Democratic leader and candidate to stand against ICE, to call for its abolition, and to materially support immigrants. Inaction is complicity.

It's the gal dancing in back with a flag that really makes it 🤣 #NoKings #ProudBoys #Fascism #Protests #MOCKTHEM www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhBa...

lol what was said here?

holy shit -- acting US attorney Thompson details that Boelter went to the homes of two other elected officials after shooting Hoffman but before going to Hortman's house. One cop encountered him at the third house but thought he was a police officer.

FOX: The Committee for a Responsible Budget came out today and said it will add $15 trillion to the debt THUNE: This will reduce the deficit, not increase it

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

We the people are strong together No Kings! www.youtube.com/watch?v=89jm...
