No sleep for ICE tonight as activists found their hotel again. Hotel managers have to decide whether that GSA per diem money is worth having their hotel completely surrounded 24/7 by protesters.

Congress is about to give these people 150 billion more dollars so that this is just a normal part of life everywhere all of the time for everyone. Let them hear it

I'd highly encourage you read and share this from @jennbudd.bsky.social. maybe more will start grasping why the conspiracy theories about these masked federal cops/agents is so silly. open.substack.com/pub/jennbudd...

These ICE protests aren't just protests. They are direct actions, with strategy behind them calculated to protect our neighbors and loved ones from kidnapping and torture. Activists are debating and experimenting with and fine-tuning tactics with the goal of disrupting and delaying ICE trafficking.

Were Aime Césaire alive to conduct a structural analysis of the advancing militarization of American law enforcement since 9/11, I suspect he would have understood DHS as a template for how Imperial Boomerangs operate in the 21st century. Me for @zeteo.com on LA, and what led to it.

This is pure fascism and if people don't rise up to go stop this, democracy will be lost permanently. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

LOL @msnbc.com working that manufactured consent game. “It’s reasonable for the military to assist in such a large…” SHUT THE FUCK UP NO IT’S NOT. Factual complexity over self-evident morality. THAT is the distraction.

before the "what do you want them to do" chorus shows up, i want the democratic party to make noise about donald trump's assault on vulnerable communities with military force. he's been a fool lately but do what gavin newsom did last night: go in front of a camera and do your job as a leader.

The statement is wrong from the very first sentence. Because this was an application on the emergency docket, we know only that (1) there were at least five votes to grant the application; and (2) Justice Jackson would have denied. But the Court didn't tell us where the other votes were. Not 8-1.

"Calling CECOT a gulag shows your anti-communist biases" is going to remain an all-time reply I've gotten. Beautifully unhinged.

Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani calls for abolishing ICE and praises AOC (who just endorsed him) for helping leading the charge to abolish ICE. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfcv...

All I want right now is for someone to pick up a guitar sometime this week and write at least three simple, memorable, and musically pleasing songs which thousands of people at a time can sing together in unison while marching against fascism this summer

Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing

Moving from deporting violent criminals ➡️ deporting anyone without legal status ➡️ deporting people with legal status ➡️ banning immigration from "third world" countries and banning "third world workers" "who have ruined our country" ➡️ to paying "non-Europeans citizens to repatriate."

Bondi's idea of probable cause for 18 USC 11 charge now includes 1) walking back forth and yelling 2) typing text into a digital device while present at a protest 3) suspicion of receiving "communications from others coordinating a protest"

Pay attention, people. I know things have been looking pretty treacherous for quite some time, but they continue to escalate. Bringing out the National Guard against a few hundred protesters? Celebrations of many sports championships cause far more damage.
