OK but how are you going to prove ICE wrong? What makes you think that particular group of thuggy-looking dudes in masks were from ICE?

ICE's increasingly aggressive tactics are unacceptable and dangerous. They do not make us any safer. I’m calling for an independent investigation right now — this abuse of power must end.

No more waiting to get a drug approved in the US. All you have to do is bend the knee. FDA commissioner will now issue vouchers to companies he finds aligned w national priorities to shorten their drug application review time to 1-2 months instead of standard 10-12 months. See how fascism works?

If an administration ends the suicide hotlines for only one group of people, I think it's fair for the public to conclude that the admin is OK with knowing their decision will result in countless deaths of the people in the group they have targeted. I hope lawsuits are filed. Here's why: 1/5

NEW: The Los Angeles Dodgers say they have denied entry to ICE agents who arrived at the stadium and "requested permission to access the parking lots."

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID. This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.

The TL;DR on Whiskey Pete's testimony before SASC: He admitted he was switching the names of bases back to honor traitors. Markwayne Mullin basically said the invasion of CA is revenge for integration. Whiskey Pete defended promoting an antisemite to be DOD spox.

Parnas: He sends the Marines into American cities not to protect us, folks, but to silence us. He ignores court orders like they’re optional. He surrounds himself with loyalists who exist solely to carry out his will. This is a leadership style that’s called authoritarianism.

Sotomayor: "The majority subjects a law that plainly discriminates on the basis of sex to mere rational-basis review. By retreating from meaningful judicial review exactly where it matters most, the Court abandons transgender children and their families to political whims. In sadness, I dissent."

We’re watching our constitutional rights erode...piece by piece—often in silence. What’s called ‘protection’ is too often quiet control. This isn’t alarmism; it’s reality. If we don’t continue to speak up now...and get louder every day...we may not have the freedom to later.

The bill would require all law enforcement officials to show their faces and be identifiable by their uniform, which should carry their name or other identifier. It would not apply to the National Guard or other troops and it would exempt SWAT teams and officers responding to natural disasters.
