Members of Congress are being denied access to an ICE facility in Manhattan, because the conditions inside are that bad.

Word.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

The PBS funding cuts are a blow to children who need it most. With more options than ever for kids' entertainment, producing research-backed, high-quality, non-advertising content for families—particularly those in low-resource areas—has never been more important.

If you watch one thing tonight, let it be this. This is delicious.

Acting U.S. Attorney for Minnesota Joe Thompson described in more detail the attacks at the homes of Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman. The shocking scope of Vance Boelter’s alleged actions on Saturday is coming into focus as he stands charged in both state and federal court with murder.

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

It’s looking more and more like a dictatorship. That’s no way to treat a U.S. Senator. Claiming he was an attacker and failed to identify himself is delusional he’s a sitting senator. America is watching, and the tides are turning.

Palmer: Charges should be brought against each one of you AOC: Raising the prospect of charges against witnesses is a form of intimidation is it not? Palmer: I strike those words

‼️BIG ANNOUNCEMENT‼️ Our Los Angeles chapter has launched their strike funds on Open Collective DISCLAIMER: Should the General Strike LA not take place, the remaining funds will be redistributed to other LA mutual aid groups. We want to assure financial transparency

As I report here for @motherjones.com, a local lawmaker in LA says ICE showed up to a confidential domestic violence shelter. That’s just one of the many impacts they’ve had on shelters & survivors this past week ⬇️

"So you're admitting that this is just a political circus" is an absolutely incredible way to troll these goons

"She is basically saying it's time for civil war between the Trump administration and the people of Los Angeles and California and their elected leaders."

What reason would the Secretary of Homeland Security have to suggest that they can remove the leaders Californians ELECTED?!?! They are using our state as a testing ground for their authoritarian fantasies.

Re what Noem’s goons just did to US Sen Padilla: Per usual Sen Murphy nails it. “If this is how a US Senator can be treated than none of us are immune” “…this is a test 4 the US Senate as well” This is a pivotal moment. Power has it’s limits. THE KRASNOV ADMIN HAS CROSSED A DEEP RED LINE.

Forcing people to work for no pay is very on brand for the president. The thousands of National Guardsmen President Trump sent to Los Angeles in an authoritarian power play are working for free. https://trib.al/QeaTX40
