I will never again see an ICE agent without assuming they're from Proud Boys or Oath Keepers, a pardoned Jan 6 rioter or a member of the KKK.

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."

“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing. Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle. Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop. (1 of 2)

Manhandling a Senator. Using unnecessary force. Separating families. Defying court orders. Secretary Noem must come before the Senate Judiciary Committee and answer to this under oath.

Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) Mayor Ras Baraka (D-Newark) Judge Hannah Dugan (WI) Controller Brad Lander (D-NYC) This is not normal. This is not okay. We cannot let them convince us that this is normal or okay.

ICE is using racial profiling and it was completely predictable. ICE (basically): “If they’re brown…we’ll hunt them down!”

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

Collins: "What did [Mike Lee] have to say?" Sen. Tina Smith: "Honestly, I don't think this is a person who is used to being confronted. I don't think he's someone who is used to being challenged and I think he didn't quite know what to do."

A powerful message to opposition leaders, dissidents, cooperators, operatives and allies in Iran, Russia, and around the globe. After you are done risking your life to help us, we will sell you out and screw you over. Because the current govt will use you and discard you.

As for so many across this country, Bernie Sanders has been the single most influential political figure in my life. As Mayor, I will strive to live up to his example by fighting for the working class every day and hopefully make Brooklyn’s own proud.

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?
