Some insiders have theorized that the White House installed Fugate to oversee a pivot away from traditional counterterrorism and to steer resources toward MAGA-friendly sheriffs and border security projects before eventually shuttering operations. By @hannahallam.bsky.social‬

“It’s not about fiscal responsibility, it’s about doing some funny math that justifies tax cuts,” said Astra Taylor of the Debt Collective, a union for debtors. “It’s going to be extremely hard for people to get out of debt with these changes,” she said. www.cnbc.com/2025/06/18/s...

I’m struck by how little coverage there’s been of this story, because it’s a big fucking deal. jessica.substack.com/p/judge-repe...

The FDA approved a highly effective, injectable drug to help prevent the transmission of HIV. But the approval comes at an unfortunate time, amid the Trump administration's drastic cuts to efforts to fight AIDS across the globe.

Gov. Kathy Hochul and NY Attorney General Letitia James are slow-walking the lawsuits of almost 1,600 women who say they were sexually abused in New York prisons. For Sierra Johnson, that cynical delay means she will almost certainly die before she sees justice. hellgatenyc.com/sexual-assau...

This is shocking. Pure totalitarianism from DHS, and also blatantly unconstitutional. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Abolishing ICE remains as important as ever. Not only that—it is an obvious litmus test for anyone seeking political office. You can’t proclaim to fight Trumpist extremism and dodge its most visible, horrifying manifestation, writes @jackmirkinson.bsky.social:

“Just a place where people are housed for several days”

I think we can all agree that this was weird and dumb. hellgatenyc.com/nytimes-vote...

Democratic lawmakers are demanding Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer preserve the Women’s Bureau following recent reporting from Mother Jones that the Trump administration is seeking to eliminate the 105-year-old, congressionally mandated office charged with supporting women in the workforce.

Andrew Cuomo’s political comeback has gained support — even from officials who once urged him to resign amid sexual misconduct allegations. Meanwhile, New York legislators are ending their session without passing reforms meant to support survivors.

Alleging Israel has committed ‘war crimes’ suggests a recognizable event: that there is a war happening and there are some crimes in it. Gaza is different.

This is a harbinger of unrest; it blesses Stephen Miller’s decision to force ICE to hit insane quotas. The vast majority of undocumented immigrants are not criminals, they are hardworking people trying to make a better life for their families with no way to “fix their papers.”

It will forever anger me that so many NY State Democratic leaders are backing a known sexual predator to lead New York City just to protect Big Money and corporate greed — and then will continue saying they will “fight for women.” Don’t rank Cuomo.

Hey, MSM: Teen Vogue is carrying the water for all y'all www.teenvogue.com/story/ice-wa...

To those who still somehow say you’re overreacting to say we are far past the point of historic crisis, go back to summer 2024 and say that in less than a year the president of the United States would be deploying the literal Marines on American soil to deal with and intimidate his political enemies

The way the ICE officer, who looks like a middle-aged guy who's probably been doing the job for years, just casually tosses off that line... My guess would be that he felt he was doing her a favor; he was being reasonable within the bounds of his orders. But it's the orders that are unreasonable.

Sarah Stillman investigates a widespread crisis of deaths by starvation in America’s county jails. Most of the victims she identified had been arrested in the midst of a mental-health crisis, often on petty charges tied to their psychiatric distress.

She is right. The Trump admin is literally doing this. They terminated humanitarian parole for hundreds of thousands of people who came here LEGALLY through a government program, and they are calling all those people "illegal aliens."

LA's domestic violence service providers talk to @juliannemcshane.bsky.social about ICE's chilling effect on their organizations and the undocumented survivors they serve. “She literally had to choose: physical harm or potential [ICE] custody.”

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

Trump pardons pedo.

Let’s goo NYC!

Boo hoo, I’m a racist POS and I regret my vote now that my life is more difficult

On Saturday, Trump called 2,000 California National Guard troops into Los Angeles in response to growing protests against the administration’s worksite immigration raids. The roots of this move can be traced back to enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Act.

Naming ICE Agents Could Land You in Prison Under New ICE Bill migrantinsider.com/p/naming-ice...

ICE agents concealing their faces: Can they really do that?

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house." The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

Reading is fundamental!

Why are they so evil

Again, literacy is an issue for this administration

Our white nationalist government is determined to erase the accomplishments of any American who isn’t a straight white male — even leaders who changed the world. They’re not only removing Harvey Milk’s name from a naval vessel. They’re also removing history-changing Black, Latino & women leaders.

ICE ordered to arrest more people even without warrants www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

🚨Another HUGE bit of news tonight; in collaboration with the Trump admin, Texas just kicked 20,000 undocumented college students — people who grew up in Texas and graduated from high school there — out of eligibility for in-state tuition. This may force thousands to drop out.

NEW: A nearly 90% funding cut proposed by the Trump administration would likely shut down and devastate the 37 tribal colleges and universities created to serve the students disadvantaged by the nation’s historic mistreatment of Indigenous communities. By @mattkrupnick.bsky.social

LMAOOOOOO

Can't imagine why graduation speakers would feel moved to say something about this... www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/w...

For the third time in as many days, Palestinians in Gaza have been shot while trying to get food. Israel has acknowledged that its soldiers opened fire on people who were approaching them.

Think about the economic ramifications of this for the greater Baltimore area. This is why I’m fairly sure we’re going to have a recession even if tariffs get blocked.

A group of women in Kenya rebelled against trading sex for a fisherman's catch to sell. They got their own boats, had success — but in past years have faced floods and now fears about HIV medications.

NEW: At least 14 cases of Venezuelans sent to a Salvadoran mega prison have been dismissed by US immigration judges. The men have not only been disappeared to a foreign gulag with no clear chance to be released, but also been erased by the courts. @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social reports:

Tucson residents say immigration agents posed as utility workers, in an attempt to detain an undocumented man from Honduras. “They’re lying! They're not in uniform,” neighbor Christine Cariño warned, in a video she recorded. "Don't let them in; they don't have a warrant." tucson.com/news/local/b...

The average pay package for CEOs rose to $17.1 million in 2024, an increase of nearly 10% from the year before. In the same survey the typical worker pay rose just 1.7%. apnews.com/article/ceo-...

Using flawed studies and scientific journal publications, abortion opponents are building a body of research meant to question the safety of the abortion pill mifepristone, a key target for the movement.

NOW— Mass ICE arrests happened/are happening at the Manhattan immigration court at 290 Broadway on the 20th floor. I was just outside the building and an observer came out crying, confirmed they witnessed people getting detained outside courtrooms while families watched and wept.
