When the story of troops sleeping on the floor in California after Trump sent them with no plan went viral… Musk’s Grok quickly sprang into action and told people the SF Chronicle pics were actually from Afghanistan in 2021. BBC Verify: Grok lied.

It should be a priority for these guys to be informed somehow that ICE gets hotel rooms. Where are the Marines going to bunk?

The Klan was humiliated when people refused to cower and just started pointing and laughing at them, and I bet these dance parties are driving human thumb Tom Homan crazy. Crazier, I guess.

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.

Three things about this comment: 1. Homan is a White House adviser who doesn't have the power to arrest anyone. Neither does Trump. 2. Trump once again acts like he's not in charge. "If I were Tom, I'd do it." Uh, doesn't he work for you? 3. THREATENING TO ARREST A GOVERNOR IS A FIVE ALARM FIRE

giant discrepancy between the rhetoric about the protests and the live shot of the protests where a SEIU guy is just jamming out on a guitar

What more do you need to see? The President of the United States wants his Immigration czar to arrest the Governor of one of the most populous states in the country.

It's incredible how consistently Trump treates everyone around him like complete shit even when it would be in his direct interest to do otherwise.

This reporting from the NYT is bizarre. I think many Americans wear white t-shirts and jeans. It seems that they’re trying to rely on some weird stereotype of chol@ dress or something and it comes off (to me) both hilarious and cringe.

Also, apropos of nothing in particular, if anyone tries to tell you that the protests in LA are a distraction from the budget bill, kindly remind them that the bill will MASSIVELY expand ICE’s budget, so the two things are very much related.

"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers," says Trump, who four months ago pardoned people who beat police officers with pipes, flagpoles, baseball bats and 2-by-4s at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Am not a lawyer, and It’s a small thing in the grand scheme of things- but I am not aware that “border czar” who is not confirmed by the senate, has the authority to arrest anyone.

I spent the past month interviewing ex-employees and customers of Vinyl Me, Please, trying to understand how the beloved record club collapsed in a haze of greed, hubris, and alleged corporate malfeasance. My piece was just published over at @stereogum.bsky.social.

There's a dark irony in the government calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a flight risk after wrongfully flying him El Salvador, only to extradite him back to the US, charge him with crimes carrying heavy penalties, then use the threat of those penalties to justify further detention.

if white Americans didn’t want Mexicans in California maybe they should not have conquered California from Mexico and then spent 150 years building up an economy entirely dependent on the flow of people and goods across the border just a thought

It is completely unlawful for ICE to turn away members of Congress like this. The law could not be more clear; no member of Congress may be denied access to a facility where ICE is detaining someone, and they cannot be required to schedule in advance. Surprise inspections must be surprise.

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!

As ICE agents prepared to fan out in L.A. on Friday, they were greeted by a familiar face: Dr. Phil McGraw. He was embedded with a camera crew for his Merit TV show. His presence underscored the made-for-TV nature of the Trump admin's moves... www.cnn.com/2025/06/09/m...

i don’t think it’s realistic to ask people being targeted due to their ethnicity and national origin not to engage in displays of ethnic and national pride
