ICYMI — ICE DIRECTOR: “These are real people with real families you’re hurting.” He says this not about immigrants… but about ICE agents. A record-setting lack of self-awareness.

Ironic, how quickly Trump moved to seize the California National Guard and threaten to send in the Marines to quell a handful of protesters in LA... Yet he never bothered to call anyone to quell the violent Jan 6 rioters...who have received pardons & cash awards from Trump's corrupt government.

🤬

Ocoee, Florida. 1920. Black voters were met with bullets & fire. An entire community, erased for trying to vote Dozens killed. Hundreds fled. History stayed silent 📖 ERASED tells the stories they buried. If they won’t teach it, we will Read it. Share it. Never forget: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

Remember US Lieutenant Calley at the My Lai massacre? Remember the Nuremberg Trials? Do NOT obey illegal orders.

"So here's the plan -- we impose massive tariffs on the nations that sell us food." "Hmm." "But it's OK, because we just rely more on states like California that grow a lot of the same things." "Oh, I guess that ..." "And then we go to war with California."

To paraphrase June's dreaming of Boston - I dream of “Not America now, then. America from before. It’s another America. It’s the way things would be if there was never a Trump.” #handmaidstale

California representatives did a check in where migrants were being detained. They found no beds, no food and no water. Children were among the detained.

Unbelievable — but this is California right now. Trump is deploying the National Guard to Los Angeles. Pete Hegseth is threatening to send active-duty Marines into the state. This is pure authoritarianism. Trump is turning America into a fascist state.

ICE is using shipping containers to store people at a US military base in East Africa where daily temperatures are over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. This is obviously a human rights violation.

Just to recap, Trump has taken the extraordinary step of federalizing 2000 member of the California National Guard — over the objections of the state’s governor — in response to a protest that currently involves A FEW DOZEN PEOPLE AT A HOME DEPOT

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." - Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

Goldman: Both of the issues Marjorie Taylor Greene raised—were widely publicized and thoroughly debated in committee and on the House floor. If you’re publicly admitting that you didn’t know what you were voting on and now regret it—you’re not competent or qualified to serve in Congress.

. @jbpritzker.bsky.social quoting the Founding Fathers on habeas corpus and tyranny to torch Trump is exactly the energy we need. Trump isn’t misunderstood — he’s exactly the kind of tyrant they tried to protect us from. - MDP Gala in Detroit.

The Insurrection Act is sweeping. It’s a huge grant of power to the President. It is also very expressly for conditions that do not exist in California. And if you’re hypothetically the governor, you should be saying so.

When I said these white devils are wanting to reenslave us, it was not hyperbole. I was not being “hysterical”. I was not “overreacting”. www.axios.com/2025/05/02/d...

I’m reading all the Hunger Games books again & came across this passage in “Mockingjay”: “At some point, you have to stop running & turn around & face whoever wants you dead. The hard thing is finding the courage to do it.” We will need this in the coming days & years. Make #GoodTrouble. #Resist

ICE agents in white SUV carrying arrested immigrants run over a protester carrying out civil disobedience by blocking the ICE SUV... The protestor was not seriously injured... Approx 100 ICE & federal agents had just raised a garment manufacturer and arrested about 20 dozen possible immigrants.

💥 @repdangoldman.bsky.social speaks out about his confrontation with “plain-clothes ICE agents” wearing masks. “You can’t require Columbia University to ban masks in order to get federal funding while you turn around and have federal government enforcement law enforcement agents wearing masks.”

Scenes like this were DIRECTLY caused by Stephen Miller's wailing that ICE can't arrest the number of people he promised they would arrest (bc he lied abt how many criminal aliens there are).

Gosh, it’s almost as though masking works.

So are we just teaching our kids they have to obey anyone with a mask and an unmarked car and an oddly-fitting vest and zip ties now and go with them? Is this where we’re at?

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

This is an unreasonably funny post by the South Carolina Democrats.

Slight difference between trying to prevent the spread of a highly contagious, potentially lethal virus and abducting people off the streets. #IDONTLikeMike

I am a proud educator. To have a person as corrupt, inept, and incompetent as Linda McMahon leading the Department of Education is an insult to every educator and student who relies on public education. And, that is the point.

Narrator: We were not, actually, holding steady.

Kamala Harris was at a high school graduation in compton because one of the students wrote her a letter saying how she inspired her and then she invited her to come. Just in case you’re curious what our other option for president was up to today.

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

Last year, Nike made $23 billion. Its founder is worth $35 billion. But Nike pays just dollars a day to the workers who make its products. Today I met Dinar, who sews 222 labels an hour onto Nike products. She is paid $202 a month. This is corporate greed at its worst.

NEW: On Thursday, Comptroller Brad Lander joined the court-watchers at 290 Broadway, one of the city's three federal immigration court buildings, and walked with immigrants away from their court appearances in order to deter ICE agents from abducting them. hellgatenyc.com/lander-accom...

Remember when Republicans were losing their minds about leaving Afghans who worked with US troops to be killed by the Taliban? Well, Trump has revoked their asylum and is planning to send them back to be murdered.

Every Kamala voter in America watching Trump and Musk slapfight because electing the smart Black lady was too much to ask.

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride. So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels. They opened the drawbridge to block them. So they marched to a different bridge. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.
