I know it is easy to get distracted with all the horrors going down every day, but don't forget that yesterday, the bribe-takin' US Supreme Court put its seal of approval on gratuitous human trafficking. These are evil times.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

Decades of federal jurisprudence on US immigration policy was just flushed down the toilet in an unsigned opinion by the 6 far-right radicals on the Supreme Court. To read the three-Justice dissent is to realize that American rule of law is like an iceberg that is seeing giant chunks fall off daily.

Why did Congressional Republicans jam through an unpopular budget with the largest Medicaid cuts in history? It could be because nearly 70% of them would financially benefit from the bill's extension of Trump's tax cuts for the rich. Reverse Robin Hood.

100 days. 💔

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

This is a devastating ruling. You can read it, and Sotomayor's biting dissent here: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

While the country braces for the possibility of attacks from Iranian sleeper cells, we can all rest easy knowing that Trump’s put this 22 year old former part-time grocery clerk and landscaper, in charge of terrorism prevention. He’s got zero experience. NEVER worked in counter-terrorism. SMDH

NEW: The DHS has issued a heightened terror threat for Americans. Good thing we have that 22 year old former gardener in charge of counterterrorism and DHS is busy with mass deportation. www.dhs.gov/ntas/advisor...

🤷🏼‍♀️

One of those times that words fail....

This is the kind of excessive force case DOJ routinely prosecutes. They should open an investigation here, based on the misconduct not the victims status.

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

The racism is off the charts with this regime.

Seems important.

Gotta love Harry! 😎❤️✨

Look folks, I am only going to utter these words one time ever and only in response to this one particular tweet from 2019: Tulsi is right

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing he’s American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: “Why were you running?” Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

Yes I Agree 💙💙💙 Reasons for hiding: J6 insurrectionist

It is true that sometimes New York City is frightening. For example today these men were loitering in the hallway of the 12th floor of the federal building.

Q: Your intelligence community says they have no evidence that Iran is building a nuke TRUMP: Then my intelligence community is wrong. Who said that? Q: You director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard TRUMP: She's wrong

"This case highlights the significant threat posed to U.S. citizens by frequent ICE errors, which are exacerbated when local law enforcement agencies participate in immigration enforcement...” www.bet.com/article/6rdn...

If they wanted to, they could serve her with a citation that she appear for deportation in something like 14 days. Instead they want to do this in the cruelest way possible.

Members of Congress are being denied access to an ICE facility in Manhattan, because the conditions inside are that bad.

LA RESIDENT: “The cruelty is staggering. People are hiding in their homes from the federal government like Anne Frank. If you’re a Christian and you’re still supporting this you’ve lost your mind. You’re not gonna get a job because of what they’re doing. Absolute brutality.”

Fuck ICE! In San Diego ICE waited outside of an asylum hearing, until it concluded, so they could arrest an interpreter that worked with the U.S. Military in Afghanistan They don’t even know his name & refuse to produce a warrant! Fuck ICE

Don't tell us these are legitimate agents of the federal government. Where are their IDs? Where are their faces? Why are they hiding?

“.. ‘They did not show any warrant. They did not provide any reason to why they were there. It seemed to me that they were just like, Hey, you look brown, you look Mexican enough that maybe you’re undocumented.’” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/06/15/u...

You know your country has screwed up priorities when it pretends it doesn't have the money to prevent LGBTQ teen suicides but it *does* have the funds to subsidize the wealthiest man in the world's engineering incompetence. www.cbsnews.com/news/video-s...

Four Democratic members of Congress from Illinois, Jesús “Chuy” García, Danny Davis, Delia Ramirez, and Jonathan Jackson, were denied entry to an ICE facility in Broadview, just outside Chicago, despite federal policy allowing them access without prior notice.

Can someone in immigration law explain to me how this is legal?

And we're being called criminals and animals

If you’re not outraged, if you’re not in the streets, if you’re not calling your representatives and your senators, you’re NOT PAYING ATTENTION!

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

Why should we believe these men are actually ICE agents and not J6 criminals, thugs, or human traffickers? I want to hear directly from immigrants and citizens who were taken by people like this, hauled off in unmarked cars by masked men with no ID…

“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing. Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle. Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop. (1 of 2)

Not good enough. He needs to resign or be expelled.

In case you still had any doubts about those claims of racism.

Sen. Alex Padilla on the Senate floor: "If that is what the administration is willing to do to a United States senator for having the authority to simply ask a question, imagine what they'll do to any American who dares to speak up." "I pray you never have a moment like this."

Always.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

Trump says he won’t call Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz after the targeted shootings of two Democratic state lawmakers because it would “waste time.” One of the lawmakers and her husband were killed. Trump said Walz is “slick” and “whacked out” and said, “I’m not calling him.” Trump is low-life scum.
