Helicopters. Armed troops wearing masks. All for a freaking military-grade raid at a flea market that appears to have resulted in two measly arrests. DHS and ICE are out of control. ktla.com/news/local-n...

PHILLY: Man posing as an ICE agent robs car repair business, ties up and manhandles a woman from the Dominican Republic — “He kept saying he is immigration officer.” It was only a matter of time before these masked vigilantes breed impersonators. www.fox29.com/video/1501153

HAPPENING NOW: LAPD just issued a citywide tactical alert. Tens of thousands are flooding LA streets in protest of ICE raids. They’re not backing down. The city is on fire—figuratively and politically. This is what resistance looks like. FUCK ICE. FUCK TRUMP. www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/l...

Trump deploys U.S. military to the streets of a U.S. city--and threatens to do so elsewhere whenever he wants. And people ask whether he has crossed the Rubicon. Yes, he has. As he's been intending to do for a quite a while. @samsteindc.bsky.social and I discuss. youtu.be/slAY7oxOu-Y?...

The NYPD and ICE mistakenly arrested a Chilean woman who is a permanent resident in New York City and left her poor frightened 12 year old daughter on the street alone. She was released approximately six hours later. This is the fearful state of America.

I dunno, seems like the President posting that his predecessor was actually a robot clone to replace a guy executed in 2020 should be more newsworthy.

worth remembering that when Trump announced a travel ban in 2017, people literally went to airports to protest. Eight years later, Trump announces a new one and it's not even front page news. We're the frogs and the water is getting awfully hot.

Condoleezza Rice just went on Fox & Friends and dismantled Trump’s war on universities and scientific research. When even Bush’s Secretary of State is side-eyeing your assault on knowledge and education, you’ve officially crossed into uncharted stupidity.

Some economists question accuracy of recent US inflation data due to BLS staffing shortages. Hiring freeze forced survey to cut back on # of businesses where it checks prices; govt statisticians had to use a less precise method for guessing price changes more extensively than they did in the past.

The complete lack of empathy for others is what everyone in the MAGA coalition has in common and holds the various groups together: Evangelicals, white nationalist, tech oligarchs, conspiracy-mongers, etc.
