The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

Trump just fired the three Democratic members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which regulates the safety of everyday consumer products. Guess who recently sued the agency and claimed that it's "unconstitutional"? Amazon. Connect the dots.

New: a man 'disappeared' by ICE was not included on a government list of people deported to El Salvador's mega prison. But we found his name in a hacked flight manifest to the country. Raises questions about how much the government knows about who it is deporting www.404media.co/man-disappea...

Imoortant voting rights victory as LDF & ACLU keep fighting. “[T]ry as we might, we cannot understand the 2023 Plan as anything other than an intentional effort to dilute Black Alabamians’ voting strength and evade the unambiguous requirements of court orders standing in the way,” the judges wrote.

Leo XIV – born in Chicago, shaped by the contradictions of American society, a priest who chooses his words like arrows. Even as Cardinal Robert Prevost, he shared criticism of the Trump administration, of policies of exclusion and hate. Now, as pope, he continues this tradition.

Trump took an oath to defend the Constitution. Now he wants to ignore it. From trampling due process to musing about a third term, his disregard for the rule of law should alarm every American. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-man-wh...

A new era of government censorship has begun. It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthink—on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Here are photos of Libyan detention camps. Libya’s brutal refuge camps are the next destination for deported U.S.Immigrants. Immigrants do not have to be convicted of a crime to be “disappeared” into a Libyan death camp. This is not America. This is inhumane torture from The Trump Regime. #ProudBlue
