I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

These assaults, handcuffing and detention of elected officials are purposeful. They are intended to communicate that no one is safe and we should be silent. The are telling all of us that if we oppose their actions, we should know they're unfettered by the rule of law & feel free to assault anyone.

SLOTKIN: Have you given the order to be able to shoot at unarmed protesters in any way? HEGSETH: What is that based on? SLOTKIN: It is based on Trump giving that order to your predecessor, who I give a lot of credit to bc he didn't accept the order. He has more guts & balls than you

A US man became a hero when he saved dozens of workers from an ICE ethnic cleansing raid. Risking his own freedom he went above and beyond to do the right thing. This is resistance in action. #3E

My heart breaks for Adriana Smith, her family, and baby Chance, who had to enter the world this way. Georgia’s fetal personhood law denied Adriana Smith’s family the ability to say goodbye to her on their own terms. Instead, her body was used as an incubator for nearly 4 months.

The man in the video is none other than Arthur Jackman. January 6th stormer, a Proud Boys leader, & he attended the No Kings Protest in Orlando where he claimed “racism is good” & gave out Nazi salutes and “Heil Hitlers”. He is also married to an Orange County Sheriff’s deputy - Sarah Jackman.

Acosta: He can try to roll tanks down Pennsylvania Avenue and all of that—Hegseth can show up in a camouflage tie he got at the Gap—but at the end of the day, the real American strength, the real American might that was on display over the weekend, was in those No Kings protests across the country.

Donald Trump's top foreign policy goal has always been lying to the American people, plus generating corrupt profits for himself. Anyone who tries to explain it based on a coherent conception of US national interest comes up short. He doesn't have one. The very concept does not compute.

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.

For decades, US presidents from both parties used a simple formulation for defining a tyrant: a leader who threatens or uses military force to suppress their domestic political opposition. Now we have a president doing just that and conservatives are cheering. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

It's pretty notable that mainstream, establishment discourse never ever ever considers giving liberal politicians credit for crime reductions. It's almost axiomatic that if crime goes down under a center-left leader it's either unremarked upon, or must be driven by something else.

Trump is sending ICE to blue cities to enact the "largest mass deportation program in history" and Chicago is at the top of the list. I'm calling for every Democratic leader and candidate to stand against ICE, to call for its abolition, and to materially support immigrants. Inaction is complicity.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.
