In itself it's not the biggest thing but Congress specifically passed a law requiring ICE to allow access to members of Congress because of Trump's antics in the first term. This isn't even norms. It's violating black letter statute law.

Fuck the police.

Australian Journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social targeted and shot with a rubber bullet by LAPD, collaborating with Trump regime ICE forces, live on air. The regime loyalist took aim at the press and fired. #StopICE

Guy who thinks he's a strongman:

It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.

What happened to states’ rights, Kristi?

Today: Tanks are being moved en masse into DC. Trump is deploying a state national guard over a governor’s objection to police protests. Trump threatened a major donor with “severe consequences” if they support his political opponents. If you’re still wondering what time it is, read this again

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

@gallego.senate.gov looks more and more like Sinema every day. Got your vote, doesn't need you anymore. Good luck getting donations for your next campaign. www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report...

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

DOGE was a smash and grab robbery of our personal data.

Not kind of. It’s completely insane. And it’s a reminder that the global economy is hostage to the whims of a guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works

Mahmoud Khalil was never charged with a crime. But Trump’s ICE locked him up 1,000 miles from his wife and newborn son. This is not America. This is not justice. #DisappearedInAmerica #AbductedByTrump

This. "My Mexican neighbor is awesome, the rest are criminals." The utter inability of many conservative people to externalize beyond things and people they actually know personally is a repeating theme.

Kalani says we ain’t done yet!

I’ll say this as many times as I have to. No tax cut in the history of tax cuts has ever paid for itself. Not a one.

This is 🏆 “The problem with speaking up for each other is that everyone is left without a voice.” What I heard here: the struggles of the oppressed are only taken seriously or heard through the voices of their oppressors.

i’m here you fuckaas bitch

In case y'all missed it - Utah Republicans ordered a study on transgender healthcare, expecting it to come back unsupportive. Instead, it found that trans youth care was safe and effective, and that transgender youth need it. Whoops. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...
