the reason these trucks look “silly” is that they have large windshields and a low hood, which increases visibility and reduces risk to pedestrians. trucks like this should look normal and F-150s should be the silly ones

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

Mahmoud Khalil is finally home with his beautiful wife and newborn son. Each one of the 104 days he spent detained was a grave injustice. From the moment of his detention, @ccrjustice.org + @aclu.org engaged my office as we worked closely to help secure his release. They did remarkable work here.

Even though they’re in the minority, Congressional Democrats have a lot of tools they can use here. In addition to showing up at detention centers etc, Dems can grind the Senate to a halt, push impeachment articles against Noem in the House, and more. Flood the zone.

So what would have happened if he didn't yell that he was a citizen? What would have happened if they didn't listen? I'm begging the few useful Dems left to make this kidnapping shit news. If you can't convince Americans to be against kidnapping, then quit. We elected you to protect Americans.

the latter half of the Roberts Court will be remembered as the worst Supreme Court this nation has seen since the Lochner era. legislatures will need to spend decades passing a complex, interlocking patchwork of state and federal laws in order to reverse the worst effects of his court’s decisions.

In Bell, CA an entire community stood up against ICE, including the local police and the fire dept. The fire truck appears to not allow ICE vehicles to move forward nor remain and pushes forward to escort them out. A police car also helped with escorting. /

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

Do you know how painful it is when you see your only child in pain and you wait for him to die because you don't have the money to save his life? I don't have the money. I beg you, I love my child so much. I don't want him to die. Save my child 👇🏻🙏🏼 www.chuffed.org/fundraiser/w... 🙏🏼

You could pick a random racist boomer in Rural Texas and ask them to come up with some unique, big, bold ideas for this nation that they haven't heard on Fox News and every single idea would be less idiotic than stuff Yglesias vomits out on a regular basis

People need to be getting pissed off about this one and voicing it. This is greed. Protected public lands are something to be preserved for current and future generations. Once they are gone there is no going back. Once they crack open the door for this more greed will kick in

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Lander is an eminently qualified candidate who could have seen the failure of his won campaign as a reason to be embittered against Mamdani (as, ahem, others did) but instead is pivoting to united the left-liberal vote and dampen Cuomo’s chances. Profoundly decent, stand up thing to do.

Yet more stories you aren't being told because migrant farm workers on Michigan roads being snatched up by ICE just aren't good for ratings I guess. This was yesterday in Flint Michigan. If it's happening here it's happening in your area also.

Today’s decision out of Rhode Island isn’t getting a lot of attention, but it’s very important. Trump tried to withhold fed’l funds from states that won’t help with his immigration policy & mass deportations. A Judge just told him he can’t do that. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

This is a cover-up‼️ DHS is illegally trying to change the rules on congressional oversight visits to facilities to hide human rights abuses. “We know that they’re trying to hide all those abuses. That’s why it’s important that we can just get in at a moment’s notice.” – Rep. @gomez.house.gov

When Dobbs came down, the media rightly saw it as the culmination of a decades long effort to eliminate abortion rights by the conservative legal movement. When Skrmetti came down, the media blamed trans people and not that same conservative legal machine. It's the same court and lawyers.
