one of my high school friends posted a video on Facebook yesterday of fully SWAT kitted out ICE agents walking down the middle of her suburban road in a small town in Appalachia and like. I know Cali is getting all the attention but they are also doing this in very red areas

This follows the same pattern as the Trump campaign's visit to Arlington National Cemetery last summer, when cemetery officials said no photography was allowed in Section 60 to avoid politicization and the campaign did it anyway. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

New in PN: We've reached the indicting the opposition stage of fascism "The charges against McIver are thin, to say the least. And none of this can be separated from the intensifying chaos around us, as ICE thugs rampage in the streets and Republicans target Democratic politicians."

“she had asked a boss if he would let his children fly on a plane with the litany of flaws and non-conformances he was urging her to “pencil-whip”: “Cindy, none of these planes are staying in America, they’re all going overseas,” he retorted, much to her horror”

The head of the department of homeland security announced that she planned to use military force to take over a democratically elected government in the state of California and we are arguing about whether a California Senator properly identified himself at the door.

A pregnant woman made to sleep on a concrete floor. A woman denied menstrual products and given an extra bottle of water to clean herself up with. These are just some of the conditions women in Burlington MA's ICE field office have been made to endure. www.wbur.org/news/2025/06... @wbur.org

Allow me to repeat myself: I would bet money the vast majority of the Americans who will be protesting on Saturday would identify themselves as liberals, and would be confused if you tried to tell them that “liberals” are actually conservatives.

Also cannot be emphasized enough: Barack Obama successfully negotiated the shutdown of Iran's nuclear program. It exists today because Trump deliberately tore up that agreement. The deaths happening right now can be laid at his door.

Mark this for the history books: “We’re talking about the president exercising his authority, and the president is of course limited to his authority. That’s the difference between a constitutional government and King George,” said Judge Charles Breyer.

This is the central dynamic to most of the Trump Administration’s legal strategies, including, most notably til now, the deportations to El Salvador. A law says: Under condition X, the President can do Y. Trump: I declare X is happening! So I can do Y.

You know what's the best part about this video? This happened in California. The type of modifications you need to do to your exhaust system to roll coal like that are extremely illegal in California and will result in tens of thousands of dollars in fines. Can't get his car back until he pays them.

In 2018, Donald Trump, then in his first term as US president, let Iran out of nuclear restrictions in exchange for nothing. Many people, very much including me, warned that he put things on a path with only two possible outcomes: large-scale war, or a nuclear-armed Iran. And here we are.

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

I was born in the 1980s, and from them until the 2010s I watched the world get better and better for people. Civil rights increased, we moved towards indigenous reconciliation and anti-racism. But then it all slowed down in 2001, and then was reversing by 2019.
