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...

Chief of Nashville, criminal division resigns over decision to charge Abrego Garcia. That’s a big story and the details will likely be very damning for the administration.

If a Democratic president cut off one of the red states dependent on federal funding, it would be a political scandal. But cutting off California -- the single biggest "donor state" in the nation, one that sends in to the fed'l gov't ~$80 billion more than it gets back -- is straight-up theft.

Sheriffs are hugely important to Trump’s mass deportation plan. They’ve lately been rushing to partner with ICE. So we really should talk about ways in which Democrats are not fighting back against growing sheriff-ICE cooperation. I have a story out today on this: boltsmag.org/sheriff-elec...

Yunseo Chung, the Columbia student and green-card holder who has been in hiding since ICE tried to disappear her in March, wins sweeping order preventing her arrest and detention. She becomes the first of these pro-Palestinian advocates to circumvent the Trump administration policy to deport them.

Not joking in the least. As an American that loves football and the World Cup other nations should boycott and force it to be relocated to Brazil or South Africa or somewhere else with stadium infrastructure. It’s not safe to come here now

“Does refusing to hire a Holocaust denier as a member of Harvard’s history department faculty count as an ideological limit test?” Takano asked. Replying, McMahon said: “I believe that there should be diversity of viewpoints relative to teachings and opinions on campuses.” CC: ADL, Elise Stefanik

Trump keeps using Mafia-like threats to get firms "not to publicly attribute price hikes to tariffs." When Mattel's CEO talked of this, he responded: “We’ll put a 100% tariff on his toys, and he won’t sell one toy in the United States... I wouldn’t want to have him as an executive too long.”

Harvey Milk served in the Navy during the Korean War, but was discharged in 1955, not for any misconduct, but because he was gay. And now his name is being removed from a Navy vessel, once again not because of anything he did wrong, but because he was gay. It's the same hate from the same scum.

Let's address a couple things about masked ICE and DHS officers in tactical gear. 1. They're not "Proud Boys cosplaying as federal agents." Yes, there's crossover between LEO's and right-wing groups. Yes, these guys ARE real federal agents. You don't get onto an SRT without years of experience.

~1M abortions a year in the US. About 1% of them are late in the pregnancy D&Es. That’s about 26/day. Some of these are emergencies. Every day women will risk dying for no reason

This guy is terrible, he did a terrible thing, I'm Jewish and there's no question in my mind that it was a hate crime. ICE is not the right agency to be involved and normalizing the use of ICE for this type of law enforcement task is terrifying. ICE is terrible and we should get rid of it.

The fact of the matter is that we would not accept any of these incidents if it was done by U.S. forces. When blackwater killed Iraqi civilians it was a national outrage. This occurs weekly in Gaza and the West Bank and it’s met with indifference to what our military aid is supporting.

Jonathan Joss (Comanche, White Mountain Apache) did not simply die from a gunshot. He was murdered in a homophobic, racist hate crime by his former neighbors. He died saving his partners life. Honor his legacy-- both queerness and Indigeneity are inextricable to why he was targeted.

"No one voted to deport moms" — yes they did. This is why Critical Race Theory needs to be taught to everyone. It was common for white people to have their "favorite" Black individuals they worked with or employed, while still supporting the Jim Crow system that oppressed Black people as a whole.

The intellectual crime of being against massacring starving people when they crowd aid trucks, of bombing hospitals, of targeting journalists and doctors for death, killing tens of thousands of children--all in the vain hope of avoiding repercussions from the criminals behind these atrocities.

Not trying to dunk. But I was at the RNC and they were waving signs that said "mass deportations now." Trump then later categorically accused Haitian immigrants of eating pets. He claimed immigrants poison our blood. He campaigned on ethnic cleansing. People can lie to themselves, but he did.
