It’s looking a lot like Martial Law to me. Trump doesn’t need to declare it. It’s already in our streets. This is who backed up ICE in Minneapolis today, the ATF, FBI, city cops and sheriff’s dept. They’re not bringing these vehicles or dressing in full combat gear for the undocumented immigrants.

Once again I am calling for Democrats to introduce legislation requiring standardized uniforms, visible badge numbers with names, as well as a requirement for ICE and DHS agents to present proof that there is enough danger present to be masked to a judge when they get their warrant.

"We are witnessing a constitutional tool of mercy being wielded as a tool for rewarding loyalty and creating 'an incentive structure to encourage people to take illegal actions” on the president’s behalf.'" www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-new-...

“I struggle for adjectives to adequately describe the horror that this administration has visited on the world,” said a former State Department official. “It keeps me up at night.”

So… Abrego Garcia… still down there huh?

If I can be real for a moment, what frightens me most right now is that David Brooks is more upset about Trump-Musk than many, maybe most, liberal pundits and Democratic leaders are.

The U.S. government is breaking up families without an ounce of compassion. ICE is detaining migrants at court—asking judges to dismiss cases so they can arrest people as they leave & shove them into fast-track deportation. Word’s out: Show up, risk deportation. Stay home, lose your case.

Another judge just ordered govt to reveal its deal with Bukele to another alien sent to CECOT. A magistrate judge in Columbus, GA (MDGa) did so in the case of Venezuelan EDQC, sent to CECOT on 3/15 without opportunity to raise a fear-of-torture claim. 1/5 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“Federal law enforcement officers on the scene declined to say what the purpose of the raid was, and directed the Reformer to an email address for ICE’s media contact. Some declined to identify which agency they were with. Most wore masks.” That's called secret police and it looked like it.

There’s obviously no animating principle here beyond “they’re not straight white men.” Tubman, Chavez, and Evers all served in the military — as did Harvey Milk.

The stupid….it burns

I increasingly think Stephen Miller is seeking out cases that he knows are illegal but which he can get political mileage out of.

Look at this. Representative Rob Bresnahan said he would ban stock trading when he got into Congress in January. Since then, he's traded 530 times.

Refusing to share the stage with anyone who doesn’t look and think like you is weakness, not strength. It means you’re terrified of what happens when people are exposed to different ideas.

If you’re a white dude and your job encourages the constant shackling and celebration of the suffering of people of color, I’d strongly encourage you to find a new one. Colonialism is a dirty word for a reason. You’re just a modern-day slaver & human trafficker.

Republicans who voted yes are now tweeting that Elon is right 🤔

ICE dressed up like utility workers who offer "free estimates" if invited inside. Neighbor recorded the ICE goons and intervened, just before a young boy let them into his home. Tucson Electric Power was not told ICE agents would be impersonating their utility workers as part of the ICE raid.

I read this article certain that it would say that DHS had determined that the wife and kids were in the United States illegally or that DHS has already developed probable cause to believe all of them were involved in the attack or its planning. Nope! They were just disappeared. Like that's normal.

Timing of this is not a coincidence.

Reed: I’m not a great mathematician but I think you were talking about a trillion dollars. I believe 1.5 billion times ten is 15 billion. McMahon: I think the cut is 1.2 billion Reed: That would be 12 billion not a trillion McMahon: Okay

Our Secretary of education cannot multiply by 10 in her head. But sure, she’s qualified on what our children should learn.

Day 53. 🇺🇸

Sickening. Do these people believe they're the good guys?

Please help make this shame of America go viral.

Now this ICE . . GESTAPO TO RECEIVE $42K BONUS To drag off innocent women and children with no warrant Who are not criminals Let that sink in

The Trump admin is saying FEMA chief David Richardson was “joking” about not knowing there’s a hurricane season — he threatened to “run over” anyone who doesn’t do what he tells them👇🏽. Seem like a jokey guy to you? 🤷🏻‍♂️ You know what’s not funny? Failing to help tornado victims.

Raise your hand if you’re not even a meteorologist and you still know there’s a hurricane season.

After almost a decade of Tacoman Newt STILL doesn’t understand nicknames

I plan to write this up--but given the resistance to ICE in San Diego and Kennett, MO, it would be really great if people focused on the $150B in Trump's Big Awful Bill funding FAR MORE of this heavy-handedness. Effectively the bill takes $$ from poor kids and puts it into more more goon squads.

San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat

"At least three migrant children were taken into custody and restrained with zip ties at the San Antonio Immigration Court, located at 800 Dolorosa Street, on Thursday, May 29, according to multiple sources."

Is it too much to ask for a president who’s tougher on Vladimir Putin than he is on Harvard?

Armed FBI agents knocked on the doors of two pub defenders at SEVEN AM, asking to talk w them, having made no earlier effort to reach out. Both PDs represented ppl detained by ICE. FBI said they “wanted to reach out before work.” Which is nakedly not true. HARASSING DEFENSE LAWYERS IS REALLY BAD.

ICE are law-skirting homegrown terrorists. tucson.com/news/local/b...

Troopers in Central Florida appear to have been given direction not to wear their name tags during ICE operations.

✨ Great response by Amy McGrath. Thank you for not pulling any punches and always supporting your fellow vets.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.
