ICE crossed a line in LA

You cannot go about your life thinking about ways to avoid making fascists angry. You will not succeed, and you will not be free.

Last week, I conducted an unannounced oversight visit at the Northwest Detention Center. I found people who never should have been detained and individuals not being told what their rights are. This is not what the American people want from our immigration system.

Hell of a photo

California representatives did a check in where migrants were being detained. They found no beds, no food and no water. Children were among the detained.

Great question. “From the ground up” doesn’t mean bypassing politics, it means rebuilding the conditions that make democratic politics work in the first place. A quick thread on how I see the road ahead 🧵

President Trump's deployment of federalized National Guard troops is unnecessary, inflammatory, and an abuse of power. The Trump administration is putting people in LA in danger and undermines the democratic principle that the military should not police civilians. www.reuters.com/world/us/whi...

I think nuance and respectful disagreement can be found on a lot of issues, but ICE isn't one of them. Fuck ICE. I'm rooting for their abject failure and personal misery. May the people of Los Angeles send these discount gestapo hacks packing.

ICE agents briefly detained a U.S. marshal in Arizona “The deputy marshal was detained because he "fit the general description of a subject being sought by ICE," ICE is out of control www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

No.

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

We refuse to stay silent while ICE terrorizes working class communities. We are turning out and standing united in solidarity with @seiuca.bsky.social calling on the release of SEIU President David Huerta!

In preparation for next week’s parade/demonstration, tanks are being moved into Washington, DC today. Unprecedented. (Photo from a colleague in DC)

this is so good. elon musk and donald trump mutual destruction

Trump hung out with a pedophile. Elon knowingly funded Trump. Trump & Elon are evil.

Trump and Elon broke up

It cannot be overstated how much the Democrats’ capitulation to the right on immigration has brought us to where we are today.

1. When fascists tell you end of story, never believe them. 2. When they cave, they also present a huge distraction. Wrongly deported man returning HOME. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Ghouls.

Elon calls for Trump’s impeachment.

Today, we’re gonna talk Peter Theil. If you think the heritage foundation is bad, you haven’t met Peter Theil. Catch you after the video.

Good people who showed up today to protest against ICE, across from Avelo at Wilmington Airport here in Delaware. Due process is for everyone! Keep up the good work, democracy is at risk. #habeascorpus #resist #democracy #constitution

📍 Salem Municipal Airport Part of today’s Nationwide Day of Protest against Avelo Airlines. It takes all of us to make change. Together, we can stop these deportation flights and stand up for justice + due process. #StopAvelo #DontFlyAvelo #StopDeportationFlights #NationwideDayofAveloProtests

A program to relocate Afghans who worked with U.S. service members during two decades of war is being targeted by the White House for shutdown by the fall. Advocates fear hundreds of thousands of Afghans awaiting resettlement in the U.S. could be shut out if Operation Enduring Welcome is defunded.

Lee Jae-myung, who rose from childhood poverty to become South Korea’s leading liberal politician vowing to fight inequality and corruption, will become the country’s next president after an election that closed one of the most turbulent chapters in the young democracy.

I have never in my life, seen anything like this, and I would actually like to ask anyone else if they’ve ever seen whole groups of federal officials obscuring their names and replacing it with “the others” or if this is new.

I don’t know who needs to hear this (me) but you were made for these times and keep the fuck going.

1 JUN 2025 Community supporting the staff of #buonaforchetta terrorized by ice in #southpark #sandiego @sd-activism-events.bsky.social @indivisible49.com @indivisible-ncsd.bsky.social @demcco.bsky.social @v3ndettaval.bsky.social @jbachelor.bsky.social @resiztersband.bsky.social

Welp. Just bought Force Factor turmeric for the last time. Didn’t realize they were supporting fascists. I can get that elsewhere.

After years of right wing Fox News being heavily sponsored by GSK, AbbVie, Abbot, Amgen, Sanofi, Novaritis, Bayer, Novo Nordisk, and AstraZeneca, only 20% of Republicans believe in vaccines. Big pharma betrayed science by putting ethicless marketers in charge.

ICE and other masked cowards are terrorizing our community. Law enforcement resources are being taken away from addressing actual crime to sucking up to trump and maga losers. There will be accountability one day. Just know that.

‼️‼️

BREAKING: ICE RAID reported at Buona Forchetta tonight about a mile up the road in San Diego. Smoke bombs were used to disperse the crowd. FUCK ICE. WTF?!

My favorite headline of the week. 👏 Also, thank you for covering the struggles media goes through under authoritarian creep. @mediaanddemocracy.bsky.social

Ice is lawless.

Ultimate takedown

Disturbing reports from courthouses across California. If someone is doing what they were supposed to and attending their court hearing, this is not the answer. We need real solutions to our broken immigration system, not just fear, intimidation and family separation.

Despite a written order from the judge demanding that ICE not arrest an immigrant in the San Diego courthouse, they do it anyway. #fascist

ICE lies. Our neighbors are following US guidelines, doing it “the right way,” showing up for court hearings, allowed free by a judge under law. Then ICE turns law on its head into entrapment for profit. Check the 1Yr stock price of GEO group. No gulags! Help! @padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov

What say you @governor.ca.gov? You want to be a real leader - here's your chance. Throw down and refuse to hand this California family to the death squad. Fight.
