Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, bungled answers on Tuesday about habeas corpus, incorrectly saying that the legal right of people to challenge their detention by the government was actually the president’s “constitutional right” to deport people.

Check the dates. It brings me no joy to say this but I've been vindicated once again.

WATCH THIS. He gets it right Nottoway Plantation: the so-called “White Castle”, burned down. With it, a monument to whitewashed brutality. We don’t need romanticized nostalgia for slavery. We need truth. Let this be the end of pretending these places were anything but what they were: crime scenes.

The truth about the South African "refugees" from a South African....

Today, our client Rümeysa Öztürk was released on bail from ICE detention in Louisiana, and she will return to New England to continue her studies. 📸 Giancarlo D’Agostaro

Members of an immigrant family in Worcester, Massachusetts were targeted, terrorized, and seized by ICE agents this week. The father was taken into custody by ICE on Wednesday, and agents returned to the family’s home Thursday to execute an arrest of the mother — without a warrant. Worcester…

"We are now in a position in which Republican colleagues are not allowed to say whether or not they support or oppose an amendment" -- bizarre scenes at the House Committee on Natural Resources as Republicans refuse to engage with Joe Neguse's questions & instead sit in silence

This is what inspiration looks like. At Republican Rep. Mike Lawler’s town hall, @emilyjaynef.bsky.social was forcibly removed by law enforcement. The specific reason for her removal remains unclear. As she was carried out, the crowd chanted “Let her stay” in protest ✊🏼🔥

😳 what's going on here 🤷‍♂️

JUST IN: Lawyers for Venezuelan nationals say they’re being loaded onto buses this hour in anticipation of a new wave of Alien Enemies Act deportations, w less than 24 hours notice. They’re asking Judge Boasberg for an immediate restraining order requiring 30 days notice.

Another woman who would have made an awesome president

Dang! The Chinese on TikTok aren’t taking any days off. 🤣🤣🤣

Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us. It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin. You must understand what is truly at stake here. All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

Funny fact about a cage, they're never built for just one group So when that cage is done with them and you still poor, it come for you The newest lowest on the totem, well golly gee, you have been used You helped to fuel the death machine that down the line will kill you too (oops)

STAND and DEMAND the immediate return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. BRING HIM HOME! Abrego Garcia is a SMART Local 100 first-year apprentice who was working full-time to support his young family — before he was brutally abducted and illegally deported to El Salvador. SMART General President…

Former DOJ pardon attorney Liz Oyer testified before Congress on Monday, accusing her former agency of “corruption and abuse of power.” She claimed that armed U.S. Marshals were sent to her home to deliver what she described as a “warning” from the DOJ, cautioning her about the risks of testifying.

No, you didn't lose money, Trump just robbed you.

Where is our humanity?

This week has been heavy. Hope this makes y’all laugh for a little. #MomSky

#50501 Boston today #handsoff

Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country? Congress? Any answers?

You know things are going downhill quickly when your protest signs from 2 weeks ago are already irrelevant.

All schools should be required to teach skills that benefit individuals & the nation. How to prepare taxes. How to change a tire / spark plug. How to bake bread. How to successfully charge and prosecute a white man for crimes. Etc.

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody. She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

Wooooooooboyyyyy!!!! Democratic House Rep. Stephen Lynch goes off in the hearing on cybersecurity about the breaches by Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Mike Waltz, etc. "I am offended!" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
