It’s the grift that keeps on grifting.

The Trump admin is fast-tracking a uranium mine in Utah by slashing the permitting process to 14 days, bypassing environmental review and cutting the public out entirely. Projects like this are supposed to go through NEPA, the law that requires environmental impact assessments and public comment.

This video is making the rounds again for a reason. A great example of how you make your voices heard—without saying a word. Power in numbers and it sends a clear message. This is what democracy looks like: standing up to fascism, tyranny, and racism. This is the way!

Ice man?

You hide your face... but call yourself law. You wear a badge… but fear the camera. You dress like a militia but say you're peacekeepers. So riddle me this: If the good guys have nothing to hide why do you look like the villain in every revolution story we’ve ever told?

She is dumber than dirt.

🧵 Martin Diaz came to the U.S. as a toddler, fleeing cartel violence with his family. They had proof of the danger—a letter from a Michoacán official. He married a U.S. citizen & was advancing his visa. Then ICE showed up at his home in Spokane: no warrant, no ID #OnYourSide VC pslspokane

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

FRIEND: "We're at risk of slipping into fascism." ME: "Oh, honey . . . when they are arresting judges and mayors, we've already slipped."

Stephen Miller serves a deranged authoritarian who thinks he is all powerful and can do whatever he wants. He is wrong. Our job as lawyers is to stand up to him and defeat him in court. I, for one, will never bow down or seek a deal with Trump. I will stand tall and fight.

The Trump/Musk chainsaw massacre of public services continues. The Trump Admin has said that these patriotic public servants have been fired for performance. That was a BIG LIE. If poor performance were the test, it’s Trump, Musk and the billionaire cabinet who should be FIRED.

Big news— The Failure, Fear, and Frenzy around Luigi Mangione is officially on the EMMY ballot. That means it’s now in the running to become an EMMY nominee. The next step is voting—starting June 12—where members of the Television Academy decide what officially gets nominated.

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

"This is disturbing what they think they have the ability to do." Here is @jenpsaki.msnbc.com 's interview with Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier tonight: youtu.be/-MdwHCOWwiE

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like if a US exchange student in a foreign country (say, Turkey?) was imprisoned for six weeks because they wrote an op-ed in the student newspaper it would be a huge domestic story and an international incident.

Please spread the correct information about Mayor Baraka's arrest. He had apparently been trying for a few days to visit the ICE prison and was rebuffed. Then the members of Congress tried to visit today and were made to wait in the waiting area for 90 minutes. Then 20 ICE Gestapo showed up...

This post is such a rich text 1) Trump is clearly making it up as he goes. There's no plan 2) He barely knows what's happening in his own administration 3) Posting something like this publicly speaks to the complete decision-making dysfunction that we also see in Signalgate

And yet, the MSM coverage gives the impression that he has a plan, is in control, and making decisions.

From Brittney on TikTok

I am outraged by the unjust arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier this afternoon outside of Delaney Hall in Newark. I am calling for his immediate release by federal law enforcement.

Civil disobedience by an elected official defending his constituents is something we should applaud. This is bringing the fight… www.shorenewsnetwork.com/2025/05/09/n...

Jackbooted thugs. Fascism on full display. “ICE” arrested the mayor of Newark, NJ—just because he’s a Black man. That’s not immigration enforcement. That’s a brownshirt police state. CALL your members of Congress and demand they rein in ICE: 202-224-3121. This ends now. tinyurl.com/Newark-mayor

I agree- this is child abuse, cruel, evil and completely illegal!

Has there been a case of violent retaliation against ICE agents or members of their families?

ICE dragged a mother from her home in Massachusetts—clinging to her baby—without showing a warrant or ID. When neighbors demanded proof, ICE sneered, “We don’t have to show you anything.” That’s not law enforcement. That’s state-sponsored kidnapping. This is fascism & it’s terrifying.

This is what fascism looks like. MAGA scum. Stay out of our communities!!!

🚨 Disturbing footage shows the brutal arrest of a terrified 16-year-old girl—sobbing, screaming as “ICE agents” abducted her mom without a warrant or ID. At least 4 grown men slammed her face into the pavement. This is child abuse. This is state terror. Worcester police are complicit.

Do you know how brilliant you are? Here’s some Black history if you don’t. So you understand how incredible you are. The sky is the limit and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. #MomSky #Voices4Victory

The disrespect for Congress and the law is glaring - and for our nation a threat to our public safety.

Ain't this the truth! 🤺🛡⚔️

Any Questions?! 👇 It’s. A. Cult. ✨

The entire administration is going to be staffed by Fox News hosts

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

Linda McMahon wrote Harvard a letter to which they responded by noting areas that are in need of corrections and then posted it on social media. Great job Harvard!👏👏👏
