"No one disputes that the Executive has a duty to follow the law. But the Judiciary does not have unbridled authority to enforce this obligation-in fact, sometimes the law prohibits the Judiciary from doing so." --SCOTUS

“We’re the good guys,” I tell myself as a 6-year-old leukemia patient pees his pants in fear. I adjust my black mask and sunglasses in the mirror, making sure to hide my identity. “I am not evil,” I whisper.

UPDATE: 2 more impersonators in Houston alone. (One was shot by a man’s wife) How long are we going to let this madness go on? We should be requiring agents to ID themselves, not legislating to protect masked vigilantes. @MarshaBlackburn

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this? Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids. She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms. Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen. 🧵

F this

This Supreme Court was never going to uphold the Constitution. It was not going to be the bulwark against the Trump regime. It IS the Trump regime. It’s on us y’all—it always has been.

Been saying this for a while. 👇👇👇

MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF

The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it. - Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders. - Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

Miami just canceled its November election & pushed it to 2026. No public vote, just canceled. Mayor Suarez & Joe Carollo get to stick around an extra year. This feels like a power grab. If one city can delay elections for “participation,” what’s to stop others from doing it to silence opposition?

Everyone, watch this please, and let it be a lesson. DO NOT give your name. DO NOT give your ID. DO NOT engage a single breath, except to demand to see their ID, their badge number, their name. DO NOT let the word "police" fool you. They want it to. Real cops aren't bandana masked like this.

Remember when you used to go to the market and a parking spot was the only concern? This is now the daily scene across America, city after city, one shopping center after another. Coming soon to yours.

The United States is a nation beyond the rule of law. People are being kidnapped on the streets by men in masks. They are being disappeared and deported to foreign concentration camps. A Canadian died in their hands. We must demand full access and independent investigation of his mistreatment.

Today's Planned Parenthood decision was a devasting blow to women, and it wasn't even about abortion. It was a devasting blow to civil rights, and it wasn't even about Civil Rights. It's one of the worst decisions from this SCOTUS, worse than you probably think. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

“Last week, Thomas was escorted onto a plane with his wrists and ankles shackled, he says. He arrived in Jamaica, a country he’d never been to, a stateless man.”

I’m choked up seeing this—it’s shameful. Iranian refugees got snatched by “immigration agents” dressed like bounty hunters in West LA’s Sawtelle neighborhood. We’re really about to send them back to a country we just bombed? A regime known for jailing, torturing, and killing its own people?

Thou shalt not sell off 253 million acres of beautiful land just so it can become more Walmart and McDonald’s parking lots.

Food vendor being kidnapped. This is right near Slauson and La Cienega, in LA. LA Times put this out, yet the real authorities do nothing. These horrors will soon become every day, normalized news, like the weather.

Important and touching reminder. "I'm so lucky to be his American dream...."

After ICE agents entered two Diocesan churches, San Bernardino’s Bishop Rojas adamantly speaks out: “Cease these tactics immediately, in favor of an approach that respects human rights.”

MAGA Fascist Rep Andy Ogles (pictured here holding weapons of mass murder) wants to strip Zohran Mamdani of U.S. citizenship because he rapped words that Ogles thinks are scary and hurt his feelings. These so-called alphas are cowardly & ignorant fascists with no moral compass & plenty of hypocrisy

tired: 'Big Balls' out WIRED: 'Big Balls' is back and now at the Social Security Administration, we have learned from a White House official. SCOOP:

WTF?!

Watch this. Because this is the way: Local officials using their platform right, reaching out to the community. Ambrocio “Enrique” Lozano, affectionately known as “the popsicle man,” was reportedly abducted in broad daylight in Culver City. Masked man. White van. Cart left behind in the street.

As we enter SCOTUS retirement speculation season, @stevespaulding.bsky.social wrote about strategic retirements & how SCOTUS term limits would stop a troubling dynamic where justices time their retirement to effectively choose ideologically-aligned successors. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

The White House says it’s now limiting how much classified intelligence it shares with Congress, following criticism from lawmakers over the Iran bombing.

NEW: Records of hundreds of emergency calls from ICE detention centers obtained by WIRED—including audio recordings—show a system inundated by life-threatening incidents, delayed treatment, and overcrowding. Unpaywalled from @dell.bsky.social and @dmehro.bsky.social:

RFK Jr. has just appointed another anti-vax liar to the CDC. Lyn Redwood, former head of the same misinformation factory that paid RFK Jr. to lie about vaccines, will now work at the CDC. Every day it gets worse. The U.S. government is subjecting Americans to a disinformation campaign.
