Per this lawyer, the mother of 3 US citizens, among others, has been abducted by “bounty hunters” at gunpoint, brought to CBP, where they demanded she sign deportation papers without seeing a judge. When she refused, she was literally disappeared by the armed “bounty hunters” at the behest of CBP.

there is no jurisprudence at work here. the republican court believes that anything a republican president is presumptively constitutional, even if it directly violates the unambiguous constitutional text and causes total chaos in law and policy.

Got a call from the wife of a cooperating witness in a case I prosecuted in the 90s. I’ve written a letter for him on occasion because he was a stand up guy who did a good job under duress. ICE just picked him up. He’s been in the country like 35 years.

NEW: Records of hundreds of emergency calls from ICE detention centers obtained by WIRED—including audio recordings—show a system inundated by life-threatening incidents, delayed treatment, and overcrowding. Unpaywalled from @dell.bsky.social and @dmehro.bsky.social:

The CEO of Flock wrote a blog about our "recent clickbait-driven reporting and social media rumors that mischaracterize Flock’s LPR devices" then proceeded to explain how our reporting directly resulted in extensive changes to how police are allowed to use Flock www.404media.co/flock-remove...

I know everything is on fire but PLEASE contact your representatives about the selloff of public lands. It's a heartbreaking proposal that will destroy the soul of America.

For me it was: ➡️ Defending a black teen falsely accused of doing donuts in the street (2016) ➡️ The Threadnought (Summer 2019+) ➡️ The DUI Dan scandal (Fall 2019) ➡️ The SilentSham scandal (Winter 2019) ➡️ The Police Brutality Mega-Thread (Summer 2020) ➡️ An Electoral Count Act video (Nov-Dec 2020)

That Mike Lee federal land sale plan must be smothered to death immediately. He and his financial backers will never be happy until they’ve stripped the copper out of the country’s walls. And even then, they’ll hate everything and themselves because there will be nothing left to loot.

KTLA - Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all US Marines, pepper-sprayed and punched in the face by alleged federal immigration officers while he was working as a landscaper at an IHOP. He was then forced into the back of an unmarked car in Santa Ana.

All across America, if you look like you might not belong according to the rightwing extremist regime’s conception of “real America,” you are now at constant risk of being assaulted by these masked thugs tasked with purging the nation. Whatever you want to call this, democracy it definitely ain’t.

If your candidate isn't prepared to do this right here, then they are not prepared for the fight ahead. Bottom line. If you think your rep would stand in the way of ICE, you got a good one. If you think your rep wants to "work across the aisle" they're a Republican grifting you.

No Kings protest, Studio City, CA

Today’s rally, Saint Paul No Kings, is dedicated to our Senator Hoffman and our lost Speaker Emerita Hortman. Fascists want you afraid. They want you to stay home. But Minnesota will keep showing up until America no longer has a king.

This ICE agent tells an immigration attorney of her three clients: "I'm not picky so I'm giving you the options cause I have to take one. If not I'll take all." He is quite literally saying that ICE is simply deporting people at random to meet a quota. www.instagram.com/reel/DKzbcQe...

The LAST LACPUG meeting EVER is this month...June 25. The last of all time. So go while you can. Featuring editor Michael Shawver, (SINNERS, BLACK PANTHER, CREED) and FCP and Resolve Master Trainer Steve Martin. Register but ONLY if planning to attend. www.eventbrite.com/e/the-last-l...

One of life’s little secrets that you learn as an identifiably brown person, is that no matter your title, wealth, accomplishments… in most situations you are FIRST the other, then the title. Padilla is not a Senator being manhandled, he’s a brown guy being manhandled… who happens to be a Senator.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

There is so much focus on the conflict itself that I think we need to keep reminding people that the whole reason people are out in the streets protesting to begin with is because ICE (aside from inherently being unethical) is breaking the law and violating constitutional rights.

While ICE agents can note in their database if someone they’ve investigated turns out to be a citizen, they are not required to do so. As a result, records are often wrong and left uncorrected even after agents have been told of a mistake. (Published March 2025)

Monica is definitely one of the good ones! Any amount people can offer, even small ones, all add up.

"I have nothing to hide! I don't need digital privacy!" Well... - AI companies are scraping your data - Scammers are using AI to get better at their schemes - And yeah, a new era of government surveillance... A starter guide to protecting you online life:

As a documentary filmmaker who worked in the PBS system for 20 years, I never thought I'd see anything like this.

This is a useful demo of just how easy it is to transform an "AI" into a fascist propaganda machine; we only noticed b/c Elon demands everything be done fast and half-assed, so it broke. But they'll fix it, and from now on xAI will prioritize white nationalist claims more subtly, forever.
