Honest to God, if a hair plant fell out each time the Felon said “I don’t know”, about some mess he created, he’d be bald. He’s only attended 12 of his daily intelligence briefings and doesn’t read his daily reports. Blaming others is his MO, but like his hair, our patience is thinning. #ProudBlue

Steve Miller wants to suspend habeas corpus, ICE is ignoring due process - this is on you Justice Roberts. Fix it now or even you and your 5 other compromised Justices will be rendered useless by the very man child you gave immunity. #SCOTUSIsAnEmbarrassment #Voices4Victory

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory As free Americans, and descendants of immigrants & refugees, we have the obligation to exercise our conscience by voting for candidates who will stand up for our highest national values & not succumb to our lowest fears.

Kash Patel is the living definition of waste, fraud, and abuse—all on the taxpayer’s dime. Flying private to see his girlfriend, skipping critical meetings, and totally unfit for the job he was never qualified for in the first place. But hey… playing FBI Director is rough work.

What happened before Mayor Baraka’s arrest needs daylight. Did masked ICE agents let him in just so they could arrest and perp walk him to send a message of fear. Because that’s what it looks like. We’re sliding into fascism—and fast. And if we don’t stop it now, we may not get another chance.

Massachusetts neighbors tried to stop ICE from ripping away a mother who was with two children, including a newborn baby. The agents had no warrant. Those who want “illegals” to uphold the law should start by upholding it themselves. This is vile, cruel, and unforgivable. Period. #OnYourSide

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

If it’s an independent agency then they were fired illegally. Say that. It’s accurate.

The fascism playbook hasn't changed—only the speed we're flipping through its chapters.

So basically, Ras Baraka was arrested for nothing.

Stephen Miller Threatens to Suspend Habeas Corpus because He Got Caught Lying www.emptywheel.net/2025/05/10/s...

Why are ICE agents wearing masks and dark sunglasses?

If you have to repeatedly break the law to arrest those you claim have broken the law, you’re not enforcing the law. ICE has morphed into a terrorizing Gestapo-like goon squad. They must be held accountable.

"The crowd chants 'Don’t take the mother!' over and over again as the daughter keeps trying to get back on the hood of the car. More Worcester cops arrive, all helping the ICE agents carry out their rotten senseless work." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Mayor Baraka was ARRESTED for doing what Republicans claim to care about: OVERSIGHT. Like the true leaders they are, Rep. Coleman, @replamonica.bsky.social, & @menendez.house.gov were right there with him. The Trump admin keeps weaponizing power against anyone who dares hold them accountable.

As a retired Department of Homeland Security law enforcement officer (CBP), I am disgusted by how my former employer has turned into something I could never imagine... a Nazi Gestapo of thugs. These ICE people are not LEGIT. DHS doesn't have that many agents. They are militias & private guards.

MA folks: Call your mayor, your city council, your state rep, your congresspeople, and Governor Healey and ask them what their plan is to keep Mass residents safe. This threatens *everyone's* civil rights. Find all their #s at reps.fyi.

UNREAL: Worcester police and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were seen on video detaining a mother and her teenage daughter, whose face was slammed into the ground, Thursday in the Massachusetts city. www.nbcboston.com/news/local/h...

ICE dragged a mother from her home in Massachusetts—clinging to her baby—without showing a warrant or ID. When neighbors demanded proof, ICE sneered, “We don’t have to show you anything.” That’s not law enforcement. That’s state-sponsored kidnapping. This is fascism & it’s terrifying.

Members of an immigrant family in Worcester, Massachusetts were targeted, terrorized, and seized by ICE agents this week. The father was taken into custody by ICE on Wednesday, and agents returned to the family’s home Thursday to execute an arrest of the mother — without a warrant. Worcester…

She’s out!! They have released Ozturk from ICE custody!

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

Chuck Grassley gets called out at a town hall… "  Stop the use of the word entitlement because it's insulting to all of us." 🔥 #HandsOffMySocialSecurity

Mountains of shame on Shari Redstone and everyone else involved here trying to settle such a ridiculous and baseless legal action. They’re so poor, all they have is money and they will eventually pay the price for their grotesque behavior.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.” He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.” Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. Marriott still has my business.

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...

🖕MAGA, 🖕 REPUBLICANS! We will never let you forget the damage that you've done!

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says regular folks won't mind if one of their Social Security check doesn't show up. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says Americans ready to retire don't care about "day-to-day" market fluctuations. These people are robber barons with no empathy for normal people.

Last night I wrote about Abrego Garcia’s case. Today, SCOTUS confirmed it’s true. Even though their stay is just temporary, he remains in cruel & unusual conditions in a foreign prison with no recourse. It could happen to any of us. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

#BREAKING: 5-4 Court, with Barrett joining the three Dem. appointees in dissent *vacates* Chief Judge Boasberg’s temporary restraining orders in the Alien Enemy Act cases. Judicial review must be available, Court holds, but has to come through habeas petitions: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Unsurprisingly given the conditions their client remains in, Abrego Garcia’s lawyers filed their opposition moments after Roberts stayed the order that would have returned him to the US www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

If you’ve ever taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, this is the time to live up to it.

Welcome !

the backstop against this is criminal liability for the president *hand flying up to earpiece*

We need habeas mad libs basically bsky.app/profile/matt...

Sotomayor: "The implication of the Government’s position is that not only noncitizens but also United States citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal"

Tonight we learned that it was indeed Andry, the gay man sent to El Salvador because of his “mom” and “dad” tattoos, who an American journalist saw sobbing as guards slapped him repeatedly and shaved his head. He is an innocent. And Trump sent him to a torture prison. Bring them back!

In the four days since Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) introduced a bill to rein in Trump's powers on tariffs, six more Republicans have signed onto it. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Yes!

Must’ve cost big bucks to pay millions of people in 1,100 cities.

I don't understand how any member of Congress can look at today and still believe they'd get some terrible backlash and lack of support from introducing an impeachment resolution, or even saying the word. Stop worrying about the nattering pundits who speak for nobody but themselves. Just do it.
