You'd be ashamed if they were your family members

When you watch these heartbreaking videos showing the cruel and thuggish behavior of ICE agents, remember that these people are not being FORCED to commit these acts — they do so willingly. They could quit their jobs at any time. They could say “enough!” ICE agents CHOOSE to do what they do.

This is authoritarianism

🇺🇸 “Rolling Stone reached out to all 53 GOP senators after the president said he didn't know whether he needs to honor the nation's founding document. None replied.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Ice needs to be abolished

Exactly. And if he had committed a thousand crimes, it wouldn’t be a heavy lift to prove just one. But DHS and the White House offer nothing but conclusory bullshit.

In the last week, the president has: -Ordered the DOJ to investigate a former staffer for refusing to lie to the public -Refused to obey an order from the Supreme Court -Called for sending AMERICAN CITIZENS to foreign gulags. His authoritarian actions are a threat to all Americans’ rights.

"We are either going to fight or we are going to surrender." @betoorourke.bsky.social gave us the potent #CupOfJoe that we need! NO SURRENDER!

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The ICE officers covering their faces feels like a pretty big tell

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

This from @anneapplebaum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes per year — enough to end homelessness, hunger, and pay for universal childcare. 👆🏻 This is the crime wave we should be talking more about.

Costing us $$$

According to 60 Minutes research, 90% of people sent to brutal El Salvadoran prison have NO criminal record. This is deeply upsetting. They sent another plane full yesterday. Bombard the WH with calls (202) 456-7041. And your Reps. 1 202 224 3121 Everyone deserves a hearing. That is the law.

This is the dollar since “liberation day”

China really upping their trolling game since the tariffs.

ICE should have to wear uniforms and carry identification at all times. No one should comply with some rando with a mask on trying to abduct them.

Doge not saving you money

Here is how WaPo handled Dem's 10-day long effort to count every vote in PA vs. GOP's 5-month long effort to throw out thousands of votes in NC. Support independent, pro-democracy media.

Ansel Adams was the reason I gained interest in black-and-white photography as a young teenager. His photographs bring me to a very different time.... yet one that feels like home. #AnselAdams #Photography #memories #time #hobbies #nature #bnw

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

I stand with Hoosier teachers.   Thousands are gathering at the statehouse today. Indiana has a growing teacher shortage, and threats to public school funding and President Trump’s dismantling of the Department of Education will only make it worse.   We can’t cut corners when it comes to our kids.

Chickens won't even cross the road anymore for fear of being detained.

This guy released dangerous criminals convicted of violently assaulting police officers into our streets.

Don't forget that Cabinet members have been using Signal to discuss classified attack plans. And who know what else--there were at least 20 of these group chats (that we know about). #SignalGate Don't let this get swept aside as they flood the zone with sh!t.

The credibility of the US government is completely shot. Gone. Annihilated. Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration. Ever.

He just testified all morning about the reasons why the tariff policy was going to make America great. Then he checked his phone and realized everything he just said was canceled on Truth Social.

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants. So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House. The hypocrisy is outrageous.
