the thing with Mamdani is that he’s obviously an incredible political talent - the campaign he’s run has been extremely impressive even if you don’t like his policies the party should be delighted, and that they’re instead pulling out all the stops to beat him speaks volumes

Personally I am unfamiliar with any legitimate activity that requires switching license plates, which by the way is illegal.

👀 Scoop: Trump and Republicans want USPS to sell off its brand new EVs and chargers. That would mean literally ripping up post office parking lots to auction off assets with no private-sector value. It’s buried in the Senate’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so. 🧵

To be really clear: The reason members of Congress can't just walk right in is because of the guns. Armed DHS personnel won't allow entry. In other words, DHS is using armed force to break laws. Democrats need to wrap their minds around that. Accept that the frog is boiled.

ICE agents point what looks like a firearm at civilians who are recording their attempt to detain someone from inside of their car. The video which was posted to a Facebook group at around 11 A.M. showed the agents on Bristol and McFadden outside of Maria Market. ~ @janettev.bsky.social

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.
