We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

💯👏👏

These disparate groups—members of Congress, bar associations, the small business community, medical, public health and scientific societies, civic groups, religious groups, former presidents and retired military—must pull together to save our Republic.

If only we had warned folks before the election that the real plan wasn’t border security…it was mass deportation in the interior, federalizing the National Guard, ripping people out of homes, families, jobs, and schools. Oh wait…we did. This segment with the author of 2025 aired one year ago.

JD Vance refers to Sen. Alex Padilla as "Jose" Padilla

SAY IT PLAIN: Federal “ICE officers” should not be anonymous. And this shouldn’t be a controversial thing to say.

Holy Shit, this is worth a few minutes of your time, from "Mom News Network" We get far more accurate news and analysis, from independent sources than we do from getting force fed sanitized and homogenized talking points by lame stream media. #Resist

Folks in rural areas: The Big Beautiful Bill will close your local hospitals after the Medicaid cuts take effect. Tell your senators your community needs them to stay open!

They're anti-free speech

In Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, a “palantir” is a seeing stone that can be used to distort truth and present selective visions of reality. Palantir Technologies bears a striking similarity. Be warned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/palantir-the-worst-of-the-corporate

Breaking News! Dodgers Stadium refused ICE entry, called LAPD and escorted their vehicles off the property! Now, that’s how you stand up against the ICE Gestapo!!! 💪⚾️🧢

While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

“ICE in just a few weeks has transformed itself into the closest thing that the US has ever had to a ‘secret police,’ with more seemingly culturally in common with the Klan nightriders of Reconstruction than their federal agency brethren like the FBI or ATF.” @garrettgraff.bsky.social

Six former CDC vaccine chairs are sounding the alarm—and we better listen. The U.S. is on the brink of losing access to life-saving immunizations. When science is attacked and trust is eroded, lives will be lost. This is not a drill. This is a national emergency.

ICE agents concealing their faces: Can they really do that?

If ICE is willing to use a Dodgers game to kidnap people, why would anyone from another country come here for the 2028 Summer Olympics?

I'm just audacious enough to believe that we can protect Medicaid, that we can have care, not cuts. I'm just audacious enough to dream and to imagine that everyone deserves care. #DontKillOurMedicaid

New in PN: "On Los Angeles Street where it meets the 101 freeway, I didn’t see anyone attacking police, nor did I hear orders to disperse. Like all riots, the matter of who started it remains, at best, an open question. But the police at the very least escalated things." — @justinglawe.bsky.social

We don’t know what the real name of the Director of White House Personnel is, we don’t know what country he came from, he refuses to turn in background check forms, and nobody will ask the president or press secretary about it.

Masked faces No badges No apparel identifying them as ICE No warrants signed by a judge Those aren't ICE agents. They are bounty hunters kidnapping people off the streets.

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

Make ICE glitter

"The town Select Board is reviewing claims the ICE processing center is being used as detention center against their zoning code by keeping detainees in inadequate conditions for longer than a few hours, as originally intended..." www.nbcboston.com/news/local/b...

Telling my grandkids to sit down so I can tell them about where the tide finally turned: The Battle For Dodger Stadium

Conserving our environment is an American value. From hikers to hunters we want to keep our public lands public! Thats why the unprecedented sell-off of millions of acres of public lands needs to be removed from the Senate Budget Bill. Nature is non partisan! 🇺🇸 Pass it on!

LA DODGERS just now: “This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.” Right on, Dodgers! More of this, please.

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

President Biden did not lose the 2020 election. It’s 2025 and senile Trump is still on it. A narcissist can’t ever admit that they are wrong or that they lost. #Trump is the biggest #loser
