ICE is the January 6 insurrectionists all over again. Only instead of attacking law enforcement, they are pretending to *be* law enforcement. And instead of just terrorizing at the Capitol, they are doing it EVERYWHERE.

OUT NOW: Chris Mirasola explains Trump’s memorandum purporting to deploy 2,000 National Guard personnel to respond to protests against ICE immigration raids in Los Angeles. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

Is this just kind of like repeat it until you believe it yourself? Your boss pardoned everyone who assaulted law enforcement on January 6th. Ass!!!

Better safe than sorry… 🚨Heavy ICE Presence Expected in Los Angeles on Sunday. A bilingual warning is being shared with the community — including areas to avoid. Stay alert. Protect each other. Know your rights.

We hear about how pro-immigrant side is extreme. There is literally nothing more extreme than this statement. Being willing to sacrifice the country’s foundations for an evil goal

Your safety is the top priority. Peaceful protesters have already been harmed for doing nothing. The story they’re selling isn’t legit. Please film everything, document everything.

What's happening tonight is anything but law and order. Don't be deceived.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

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

NEW: Texas lawmakers quietly rejected a proof of citizenship bill for voter registration in a surprise move for the deep-red state. Advocates say Republican lawmakers backed off when they realized it could disenfranchise their own voters. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

ICE waited until a woman’s lawyer went to the restroom then dragged her away. She fainted from stress and they dragged her unconscious body into the elevator, refusing medical attention.

Humans aren't illegal, but the disgusting dehumanization and demonization from this regime should be 👇 #ResistTrump

It was never about deporting violent criminals. If that were true, where are the examples? Trump would be shouting the victims’ names from the rooftops. What we’re actually seeing are heartbreaking videos of families torn apart by masked men who look more like white supremacists than ICE agents.

He needed air. The price was $539. When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price. 5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler. He paid with his life. www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news... #MedSky #SciSky #PedsSky #PulmSky

Another judge just ordered govt to reveal its deal with Bukele to another alien sent to CECOT. A magistrate judge in Columbus, GA (MDGa) did so in the case of Venezuelan EDQC, sent to CECOT on 3/15 without opportunity to raise a fear-of-torture claim. 1/5 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

how it started / how it's going

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

Against all odds, Joni Ernst has made it worse

After asserting their Constitutional rights, staff of Rep. Nadler are arrested by Homeland Security.

This is happening all around the country, not just in Arizona. But the Health Department isn't telling us anymore. RFK halted the bird flu vaccine work. So let's see how this works out 😑

The idea that this kind of armed presence is necessary in Great Barrington - a quaint Berkshires town of artists, aging hippies, and retired dentists - is insane. These agents are dressed like paramilitaries, not police officers. www.berkshireeagle.com/breaking/ice...

You won’t find much, if any, national coverage of Trump’s secret police terrorizing a San Diego restaurant, but this from a local TV station does a great job capturing the emotional response of the neighborhood and the human stakes youtu.be/_fF1BIU1q3M?...

Something spicy & delicious as a taco has gotten under Trumplestiltkin's thin tangerine skin. Seems the master of mean, juvenile nicknames can dish them out but when directed towards him, he can't take it, angrily calling it "nasty."🤣 Good to know. (you know what to do!) 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮

Great – looks as if the White House used AI to draft a health report and wound up inserting citations for articles that don’t exist. They put cheating high schoolers to shame. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/w...

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

TACO is a weapon. It's simple, meme-able, organic. It's both a defiance and a provocation. Put it on red hats and stickers in the MAGA font. Make it hurt. www.thebulwark.com/p/community-...

Trump says he'll look into possible pardons for the men convicted in the plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

Scott Pelley—American author and reporter for CBS News for more than 31 years, did not hold back

This is completely false and not From Liz or me.

I implore people to think about what Memorial Day means, and then think about…this

“The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” — Treaty of Tripoli, signed by the United States in 1797.

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

Democrats in Congress: Investigate and expose why ICE is allowed to operate in masks and conceal their identities. There is no acceptable scenario where this should be permitted. @HouseDemocrats @SenateDems

GUYS. The comment period for this ends in THREE DAYS. PLEASE if you have even a little bit of time, submit a comment here: www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD... Let them know EVERYONE should be able to get COVID vaccines. They BACK DOWN when WE PUSH BACK. www.statnews.com/2025/05/20/f...

Trump’s Tax Scam aims to gut life-saving programs like Medicaid and SNAP to give billionaires even more tax cuts. If you’ve got a GOP senator, call and demand that they stand up for the families they were elected to serve: act.indivisible.org/...
