New from 404 Media: cops in California investigated what they called an "immigration protest" with AI-powered cameras, according to new data we obtained. Data also shows local cops around the country tapping into California cameras on behalf of ICE. This is illegal www.404media.co/california-c...

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.

ICE is attempting to deport an Atlanta-based Spanish-language reporter from El Salvador who has been covering their immigration abductions. He has legal work authorization and a path to a green card. This is pretty obviously an assault on the free press. www.ajc.com/news/2025/06...

Trump just shared this alarming text from Israeli Ambassador Mike Huckabee, effusively praising him while telling him that no president has been in his position "since Truman in 1945" (when the U.S. dropped the atomic bomb on Japan) & that he "will hear a voice from heaven" telling him what to do.

This seems to be a very effective nonviolent delay tactic for ICE raids. Any time you can identify a bottleneck in their process — where they have to be in the same place at a consistent time of day — you can interdict their route

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.

I just don't think it's sinking in how fucking evil this man is. The legislation he's created is designed so that the state can simply ignore huge swaths of existing legislation, from surveillance to extraction to deportation.

One funny aspect of Trump is that, unlike other politicians, he is not aware that this mob-boss mentality is something you should try to hide or play down for appearances. He cannot imagine that anyone else thinks differently. He cannot imagine it's possible to think differently.
