Once again, it seems to me that when a court finds the president is doing something wildly unconstitutional, it is dangerous and unhealthy that we default to “but let him keep doing it until multiple layers of review all agree.”

We hear that immigrants are "freeloaders," yet they're being arrested at their workplaces. We hear that immigrants "just need to follow the law," but when they attempt to, they're rounded up at courthouses. Hello?

Trump said protests against him would be met with “very heavy force.” Sen. Padilla’s treatment suggests that’s their attitude toward attempts to question the king’s courtiers as well.

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

Notice how the cops tell him to put his hands behind his back AT THE SAME TIME THEY KEEP HIS ARMS FROM MOVING. This is not uncommon. There was a police killing of an unarmed drunk man in Vegas a few yrs back, where the cops yelled contradictory things at the man then shoot him for “not complying.”

ICE seemingly confirms they are using National Guard as security to conduct immigration raids. Let's call this what it is, militarized ethnic cleansing.

Greta Thunberg, arriving back in Europe after her abduction by Israel in international waters, explains in 40 seconds why western governments are colluding in genocide:

Israel's defense minister is a psychopath. This is not normal conduct.

🧵Donald Trump federalized the National Guard—the first time a president has done so against a governor’s will since 1965. But he's promising much worse. America is in deep Schmitt. Trump is trying to enact the Nazi legal scholar Carl Schmitt's philosophy of dictatorship. Click thru or continue…

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

My copy of the Gospel of Matthew didn’t include footnotes in Chapters 5 through 7 for exceptions.

If Hezbollah or the Houthis captured a ship in international waters and arrested its crew, im pretty sure the press and politicians would be calling that kidnapping or hostage taking

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

Martin Phillip Fjellanger Let this man go viral Los Angeles

First, those cities MAGA wants you to think are on fire? Seeing murder hit historic lows; NYC heading for lowest *ever recorded.* Second, the decline has happened as the number of cops has FALLEN. Third, Jeff joins @johnkroman.bsky.social and others in pointing to SOCIAL investment as a driver

It’s so jarring seeing these photos and then hearing liberal screaming that this is all new and only Trump’s fault when this is what the border patrol and law enforcement have always been, a force for protecting white power capital and creating whiteness. Trump was always just a figurehead for it.

If masked ICE agents in assault vehicles and battle gear need the help of 2,000 federalized Guardsmen to round up a few line cooks and day laborers, maybe they ought to rethink their tactics. Pathetic overreach, provocation, and escalation. #Resist!

Who thinks this is just a prelude to the armed occupation of Washington, DC, declaration of martial law, and a purge of all opposition?

Their reward for serving their country is being punished for being punished for who they are by people who have never spent a day in public service, even if they are now in the government bsky.app/profile/eric...

Acting Director Lyons, get fucked. Your goons started this. What comes next is on you and this administration. Spoiler alert: It won’t end well.

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

Guardian - University of Michigan is using private, undercover investigators to surveil pro-Palestinian campus groups, including trailing them on and off campus, furtively recording them and eavesdropping on their conversations. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/06/michigan-university-gaz

"Dual Israeli-Canadian citizens who served in the IDF are now under investigation by the Police for the war crimes they committed" Well done Canada

We’ve heard the rage. The shame. The heartbreak. Channel it, let it fuel your fight. Make a submission: for yourself, your whānau, or your group. The #RSB is a right-wing attack on our rights. Anti-diversity, pro-corporatisation. They suspended our MPs now it’s your turn. Submit. Fight back #NZPol
