NEW: Records of 911 and EMS responses to calls from ICE detention centers show a surge in emergencies the facilities are unequipped to handle, including suicide attempts, severe pregnancy complications, and alleged sexual assaults by staff. This is by @dmehro.bsky.social and @dell.bsky.social

A civil right is no civil right at all if it is dependent on where you live. The point of states getting to be laboratories of democracy is not that they get to find new and exciting ways to deprive people of the protections of the constitution.

Mamdani should win but he's the latest example of the Democratic Party closing ranks to keep anyone young and exciting and full of energy out of the party - and then they spend countless millions on consultants trying to figure out why they're struggling with young voters

Hot take: people should be able to call the police to verify if they think they’re being kidnapped by men in masks who won’t identify themselves in unmarked cars without it being a “resisting” crime

I agree. It was a failed coup only up until not a single person was held accountable, apart from foot soldiers on the ground. Once it was clear there would be no consequences, the country lost. We had a judicial coup in December 2000. That turning point set the stage for where we are now.

The billionaires will paint every single progressive as being either: 1. Anti-semitic 2. Sexist 3. Racist From now until forever because it works even though it’s incredibly false. They even do it to AOC. Billionaires will say and do whatever it takes to avoid paying higher taxes.

Hey @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov and @gavinnewsom.bsky.social, why aren’t the people who illegally threw our United States Senator to the ground getting charged with assault? I don’t understand.

Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?

Keep filming ICE or ICE impersonators. These people lie to make up charges. Video is how we stop the abuse of power. Keep showing up! These cities belong to us.

This is how it should be: pragmatic politics, to shift as much as we can away from MAGA, Republicans, and Republican lite.

History doesn’t forgive cowards. And it doesn’t forget abusers. When the tide turns, put every single Republican official who touched this cruelty on trial.

ICE agents are complaining that every time they go out (unmasked/in unmarked cars) protesters are dumping pounds of glitter on them. So people can identify them as ICE for days afterward. Time to buy glitter . . .

Take the lesson from Korea. When they had a dictator they went after his support. They don't have "immunity". Go after their lawless activity fast. Arrest them. Keep them incarcerated until trial. Do it through state, not federal. Get evidence together. Move quickly. Remove his support.

“I’m here today because this is something I can do against Trump. I lived during the Nazi time in Germany and they put me in a concentration camp,” he told interviewer Shannon Powell, co-founder of Indivisible Westchester. “Trump is trying to imitate Hitler. That’s what I’m afraid of.”

What does ICE have to hide? The Department of Homeland Security has issued a new policy that allows ICE officials to block or cancel visits by members of Congress to immigration detention facilities, whenever they “deem it appropriate” or cite vague “operational concerns.”

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

I agree. It needs to be "Reform the Police," not "Abolish the Police," and one of the first reforms needs to be to eliminate qualified immunity.

If cops are calling what McIver, Padilla, and Lander did “assault,” then you should be questioning every time law enforcement claims assault or resisting arrest—if you weren’t already.

It would be so great if Democratic Party elected officials would start acting as if they’re living under a government that will lawlessly kill or arrest them for the crime of political opposition.

We are no longer a civil society People who advocate for the killing of others aren’t given positions of power- they’re shunned. We all own a piece of this- but some own it way more than others- and it’s way past the time to call them out.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

A senator celebrating the murder of political opponents should be expelled. Not debated. Not excused. Expelled.
