Phang: If you were scrolling on social media and saw a dog locked up in the middle of the Everglades—in the sun, in the heat, in the humidity—the outrage would be wild, wouldn’t it? But then—we’re okay with human beings being treated like that?

"It wasn't until she called the number the next day that she learned the police had called immigration agents on her. The officer who answered the phone told her that the police report noted that ICE had been contacted, and advised her not to make a report in person or risk being detained" 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

From stand with Israel to die for Israel, this is what MAGA voted for. Trump has opened an unnecessary and illegal war with Iran, not for the American people but for his foreign sponsors and handlers.

When Trump asked Iran to surrender, that was the acknowledgment of an official war. Words matter.

Juneteenth sponsors are pulling out, just like they did with Pride events. This sends a clear message that support for Black communities & LGBTQ people is conditional, transactional & expendable. This is more than backlash against (DEI) it's a stamp of approval on bigotry.

When authoritarian leaders feel their grip slipping, they don’t go quietly. The stoke more division, spread bigger lies, blame others for their failures & escalate threats to institutions (like elections, courts, the press). A wounded narcissist with a loyal cult & no moral compass is dangerous.

The fact that the State Department is planning to open an Office of Remigration didn't get even anywhere close to the attention it deserved. Remigration is explicitly a European far-right/neo-Nazi word that in Europe refers quite explicitly to ethnic cleansing beyond simply immigration enforcement.

Hey @cnn.com, ‘we will kill you’ is not a “stern warning”. It’s a death threat. A sheriff is threatening the lives of the community he swore an oath to protect. For exercising their rights to peacefully assemble. Stop being stenographers for fascists.

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants. So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House. The hypocrisy is outrageous.

I agree 💯. Go with the people who understand “doing the same old thing” isn’t helping Democrats and our country. Jasmine Crockett has what we need now.

This should be bigger news: ICYMI - Project 2025’s puppet master Russell Vought just replaced Elon as head of DOGE. People still in denial & believe Trump knew nothing about Project 2025, need to explain why he just handed the keys to the whole damn thing to its architect. He is the plan. Wake up.

'Mass casualty event' declared as tornadoes hit Kentucky and Missouri killing dozens of people and destroying thousands of homes. The federal response appears to be on mute, as FEMA and similar agencies are not visible — as they were guttered under Felon Trump & Musk. news.sky.com/story/mass-c...

Back on April 21, Tulsi Gabbard accused those who leaked the NIE on Venezuela's ties to Tren de Aragua of lying abt the intel. It took the IC just 10 days to turn around a @laurenleharper.bsky.social FOIA proving that TULSI was the one lying. www.emptywheel.net/2025/05/06/t...
