I think it’s notable that ICE isn’t conducting raids in red states, but is instead targeting deep blue states with big migrant communities that will fight back. They want violence to justify more violence. This is fascism 101. We should laugh at them and treat them like the cowards they are.

looks like an objective assessment to me

A video explaining the terms about federalization of the Guard, the difference between the Guard, Reserves, and Active Duty, and when the guard or active duty can engage in law enforcement. Hint: the guard as activated in Calif cannot. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/video-expl...

How now-DHS Secretary Kristi Noem felt about a president potentially federalizing the National Guard one year ago:

We need to stand up for @terrymoranabc.bsky.social

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors. This ain’t about law and order. This is what authoritarianism looks like.

As a former Marine and Vietnam combat veteran who trained at camp Pendleton it makes me nauseous that they are trying to use the Marines to intimidate. Mango mussolini should go back to planning his fascist birthday parade and playing golf and let grownups handle things.

NEW: LAPD just declared ICE protesters an unlawful assembly. A few moments ago 👇🏾

You don’t stop this shit by firing on the people, you stop it by having LAPD arrest ICE for kidnapping. This is a fucking disgrace by every government party involved.

We still can’t get straight answers on why ICE agents are masked and refusing to ID themselves. On top of all that they appear to be lying about cause. Congress, do you see what’s happening? Don’t be silent! Call your Senators & Reps. Demand an investigation. ☎️ Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

"Musk is a greedy kleptocrat whose life’s work boils down to stealing from the poor to pad his own bottom line. That’s his legacy. He could’ve changed the world for the better; he had every resource available to him to do so. Instead, he made it markedly worse."

This shouldn’t be legal. It cm is a recipe for abuse.

Troopers in Central Florida appear to have been given direction not to wear their name tags during ICE operations.

if it takes years, has to be consequences for all these people, and even more for those who gave the orders.

On behalf of the DNC, DSCC and DCCC we have filed to intervene to protect the campaign finance laws from attack by the GOP. The Trump administration won't defend a 50 year old law, but we will.

The Dept. of Justice has filed its first voter suppression lawsuit aimed at disenfranchising voters. This is a critical juncture for democracy. Paige and I discuss the implications and how it echoes claims made by failed state Supreme Court candidate Jefferson Griffin. youtu.be/8XEW-Ga428M

A viral post is spreading fear on all platforms, supposedly from Liz and Me, about a nonexistent bill—just like the far right used to do. We cannot become what we’re fighting. The truth still matters. We win by being better, not louder. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/dont-fight...

youtu.be/dZXlQp0aKPU?... This is my go to song on memorial day. Speaking as a combat veteran it resonates deeply.

Enforcement agents appear to be profiling based on accent and skin color. Almost 300,000 California construction workers are foreign born. Given the 5-fold increase in ICE/enforcement $ that will potentially occur thanks to the 2025 budget, there *will* be disruption of many lives and job sites.

Our task: To stop Trump from making the United States of America his ultimate bankruptcy, his ultimate failure.

MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️ They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador. Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose. No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

When you have to say it….

Oh.

THREAD: We recently heard that the Trump administration was leaning on the government of Gambia to help Elon Musk. For weeks, our team made phone calls, wrote letters and knocked on folks’ doors to try to confirm it. But we were stuck. So our reporters got on a plane to Banjul. 1/

When will I get a long investigative piece from the Times or the Atlantic on why this man with his pudding brain has become obsessed with the word ‘groceries’. Obsessed.

This feels like my pinned tweet. The cosplay secretary is collaborating with a writer and producer to pitch a reality TV show, ‘The American,’ where immigrants compete in challenges to fast-track their path to US citizenship. www.thedailybeast.com//kristi-noem...

There is no hell deep enough to contain the people involved with this

Anyone who has worked on intelligence matters understands the importance of apolitical analysis and speaking truth to power. In firing intel officials who did just that, Gabbard proved once again that she is unfit for her position.
