“Is there any sign of life?” “Have we heard a heartbeat?” “Does she feel any kicking?” “We don’t have the equipment to do that.” That’s the full 911 audio from a nurse inside an ICE detention center near Denver, calling for help as a four-months-pregnant woman bled and cried out in pain.

After our last report on conditions inside ICE detention centers, the latest DHS propaganda makes a chilling kind of sense now. The official DHS X account posted a WWII-style poster urging people to “REPORT ALL FOREIGN INVADERS,” complete with the ICE tip line to report undocumented neighbors.

Hiding declassified files and presidential records is yet another way for the administration to dodge accountability. The authoritarian always seeks to limit your access to information.

Hey everyone, just a reminder: A little more than a week ago, a Republican terrorist killed two people and injured two more in an effort to kill enough democrats to capture the Minnesota Legislature

A key thing to watch in this developing line of incoherent nonsense is that he keeps saying these are attempts to make the "Patriot Pilots" look bad. Not attempts to make HIM look bad. So he's sliding the "person responsible for this" from himself to the pilots. Creating a fall guy, basically.

Boyle: For every American household that makes under $55,000 a year, they will be poorer as a result of this bill. So it's quite clear under this Republican betrayal— the poor get poorer, the rich get richer, and the middle class falling further behind. This is wrong.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

I put together a bunch of Trump's full Truth Social posts in this column because it's important that people see the sum-total of his lunacy. Most never do. If you have a place to share this where others might see it, I'd appreciate it. ✊ www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would: - Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale - Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

Yes, making sure Americans have fewer days off is definitely a winning issue.

Musk is mad at his robot progeny again and has now taken to scolding it over something it wrote in response to Catturd. “Shame on you, @Grok”

The Trump administration issued layoff notices to over 600 employees at Voice of America, a federally funded outlet known for providing independent news to countries with restricted press freedom.

With everything else going on, the Senate sent the Big 💩 Bill back to the House, and made some changes. Here’s one:

Four Democratic members of Congress from Illinois, Jesús “Chuy” García, Danny Davis, Delia Ramirez, and Jonathan Jackson, were denied entry to an ICE facility in Broadview, just outside Chicago, despite federal policy allowing them access without prior notice.

I think we need to legitimately ask if ICE has instructions to target Democratic public officials when possible and if they are choosing to carry out those orders. This is the second in less than a week who identified himself before being taken into custody for nonviolent behavior.

BREAKING: Giant Baby too fussy to continue

BREAKING: An ICE vehicle just RAMMED into a civilian car in Boyle Heights. Then they gassed it. Then they dragged out the driver. All three people in that car are U.S. citizens. This is militarized racial profiling on steroids.

Democracy and action in Temecula

Last night, Capitol Police arrested roughly 60 veterans and their family members outside the U.S. Capitol. The group had gathered to hold a peaceful sit-in on the Capitol steps, but police intentionally set up a barrier of bike racks to prevent them from demonstrating.

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

@therickwilson.bsky.social: If a US Senator is not safe from being handcuffed and detained for free speech, none of us are safe. WATCH: youtube.com/watch?v=cEqM...

Same here.

Israel has launched an attack on Iran and I guarantee you - I absolutely guarantee you - the No. 1 thing our narcissistic-oaf president is worried about is how it might draw attention away from his birthday parade.

Deport ICE!!!

Today, in fascism news.. a man was arrested at his home in LA for distributing face shields during protests.

Many LA farmers were impacted by the wildfires in January—business slowed as people had to relocate & the blazes damaged some of their crops. WCK teams partnered with them to organize farmers markets where we provided fresh produce at no cost to affected families. #ChefsForCalifornia
