They thought masks and no name tags would protect them. ICE agents are being unmasked—names, faces, badge numbers, and insurers. When the reckoning comes, they won’t hide behind “just doing my job.” There are more of us than them. You can run. You can lie. But you can’t hide. icelist.info

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

In a lengthy exchange, with ICE Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce, Reps Nadler and Goldman are denied the ability to visit the 10th floor. Joyce says it's not a detention facility it's just a place ppl are housed for several days w/out beds.

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

Hello from Berlin where a few hundred Americans are outside the embassy, currently reading aloud from the Declaration of Independence. #nokings

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

This is one of the best - and most terrifying - images from my bird feeder. 😬

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Sound familiar?

I once worked as a parking enforcement controller for an airport, and one day, as I was heading to the office, I walked by Johnny Cash admiring some artwork hanging on the walls. 😀

not sure the provenance on this one but i'm seeing a bunch of bad crops of it on xitter. this is the maximally badass edit.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

ICYMI — federal agents cuffed an @RepJerryNadler aide inside his congressional office, claiming they were “conducting a security check” The guardrails are off. More: www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

i missed who posted about this yesterday, but someone built a 90s weather channel local on the 8s emulator, complete with music, and i am OVERJOYED. it's wonky on mobile but i have it looping on my laptop. weatherstar.netbymatt.com

One of my husband Robert's favorite quotes comes from Horace Greeley, a newspaper man who founded the New York Tribune so many years ago. I think of it often: “Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, riches take wings. Only one thing endures and that is character.”

WATCH: @repmoskowitz.bsky.social calls out the astounding nearly $1 BILLION (!!) for ICE employees in bonuses alone in the Republican budget. Masked anti-constitutional vigilantism pays well these days. 🇺🇸

Sunset on Friday 18th December 1908. I have cleaned-up this astounding autochrome photograph of twilight 117 years ago, taken in colour by Julien Gérardin. It is an original colour plate, not colourised.

This is the best thing I’ve seen today and I need a source. Bluesky, please help. Credit to whoever this rad group is.

Scott Pelley—American author and reporter for CBS News for more than 31 years, did not hold back

This is completely false and not From Liz or me.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

Hey hey! CANADIAN and US friends. GODS OF THE WYRDWOOD is a Kindle deal today, others'll be price matching. I took a quick look at Netgalley reviews of the last book and its all people being gobsmacked by where it goes. So if weird worldbuilding and strangeness are your thing... Spread the word!

Please watch. Please listen. This should be playing nonstop around the country. "I regret inviting Trump the robber. He didn't come to discuss cooperation. He came to collect tributes. As long as he feels like a king he will agree to almost any deal."

I hope you’ll take a moment to read this.

NEW YORK: “Please detail what your red line is, and at what point you’ll actually stand up for the constitution you swore an oath to defend.” An older woman is carried out by law enforcement for asking questions @repmikelawler (R) doesn’t like.

Kristi Noem refuses to say whether she believes the Constitution grants due process rights to everyone in America:
