This is the unpermitted ICE facility where Mayor Baraka was arrested. The conditions are reportedly horrible; overcrowding, limited food, scalding showers, and family visits cancelled with no warning. This is one result of ICE caring more about quotas than detention conditions.

I am as big a sucker as anyone for the fine-grained legal analysis, but I do sometimes worry it distracts us a little from the big, dumb, obvious points. This is appalling & precisely what the Framers were terrified of. Whether it’s technically legal if you squint right doesn’t change that.

Ali Shamkhani, a top advisor to Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, has reportedly been seriously injured as a result of Israeli military operations within Iranian territory.

They’re tearing down the prison walls during the uprising at Delaney Hall 👀👀

Damn, that's crazy, I wonder if anyone has a recording of the event to figure out who was telling the truth. If only there were journalists who worked for this organization who could find out what happened!

"About 50 inmates at Delaney Hall, the ICE detention facility in Newark, banded together and pushed down the wall of a dormitory room when meals were hours late, a lawyer told NJ Advance Media."

I love this for him

Cops nearly ran over protestors at Delaney Hall after reports that detainees are rioting inside due to lack of food and water and overcrowding.

Reports of an uprising inside Delaney Hall immigration detention center in Newark NJ. I was here with people trying to visit family when we all started choking due to tear gas used inside.

NOW: NYPD slammed a protester on concrete and left them unconscious for nearly half an hour in the prison bus. No medical attention was provided until someone spoke to an FDNY medic, an ambulance was finally called. Cops still tried to cuff his lifeless body on to the stretcher.

It is already clear that this is not a limited attack on core nuclear sites. The target set is broad and includes top military leadership in a way that Iran will see as regime threatening. The IRGC chief is dead. That is likely to drive more expansive Iranian retaliation.

Sickening to me that people act like this is a game. Iranian children killed by airstrikes that hit entire residential neighborhoods and people on here are gleeful about it. Disgusting.

It is coming sooner rather than later that a vote in either the House or Senate will turn on the absence of members in government custody.

So Iran is in the fight of its life, now, huh

Starting to feel like maybe the US shouldn’t have given Bibi Netanyahu tens of billions of dollars in bomb money with no strings attached.

Gotta say that even if Mamdani is literally just De Blasio 2, that would be infinitely better than Cuomo, Adams, Bloomberg, Giuliani...it turns out it is indeed hard to find one that does not suck shit

Genuinely funny that the most significant Judge Breyer in American history may well not end up being Stephen

this company man

It's a scary thing to see a US senator dragged off by a bunch of GOP goons, but considering how often this particular senator--one of my senators--has enabled Trump nominees and policies, I also feel this is a bit of an "I didn't expect the leopards..." moment. I hope he remembers it going forward.

for those of you who are not new yorkers: THOSE ARE ALL THE BOROUGHS YOU DO NOT ADD "ET CETERA" AFTER YOU'VE NAMED ALL OF THE THINGS THAT'S NOT HOW ET CETERA WORKS

meh it means what it always does which is the US was informed and will play missile defense but Israel carried out the actual strikes

time for my new favorite tumblr post

a side note: this is as frontal an assault on the US by Israel as I've ever seen, and there have been some bad ones. This is Israel blowing up the planned negotiations in Oman tomorrow between the Trump envoy and Iran. This is Netanyahu saying the US can't do diplomacy he doesn't sign off on.

If the Stephen Miller freakshow is too much even for Ron Johnson (!) it’s probably worth confronting Republicans with the ugly truth: they aren’t being bullied into supporting “the MAGA agenda.” They’re being bullied into helping a sadistic degenerate get his fix. www.offmessage.net/p/the-greedy...

Get our troops back, arrest Noem and her goons.

Oh goodie, the US just wanted to pick a fight with everyone this week, very cool, very normal shit

A federal judge has blocked President Trump from deploying members of the California National Guard to Los Angeles and ordered the administration to return control of the forces to Gov. Gavin Newsom. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Oh we were ACTIVELY part of this www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

Man, are the religious liberty worriers going to have things to say about this tomorrow

Netanyahu: *blood and soil shit* Rubio: That was his idea not ours please don’t level our airbases

Senator David Padilla should not have attempted to politicize DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference announcing that the federal government would liberate Los Angeles from socialism. Tomorrow in the New York Times

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Thank you!

Anyone who gives an interview to the Washington Post could face this treatment. Next time you get that call from a journalist, you might want to ask explicitly whether they plan to report on your political activities.

HERE IS A THING that EVERY American can do: 1. Call your Senator. 2. Say the following: "I am requesting that you place a hold on the nomination of Bill Essayli as U.S. Attorney for the Central District of CA for directing federal agents to assault a U.S. Senator." 3. Call other Senator, repeat

hey guys I actually can't stop thinking about this. is someone on the moon. can someone go check

There's too much stuff going on everyone. Why don't we all take 5?

pick your battles. pick… pick fewer battles than that. put some battles back. that’s too many  www.axios.com/2025/06/13/i...
