Chaos at a US Federal Courthouse as ICE abducts a man moments after his immigration hearing, people bravely tried to block the abduction. #3E

The whole case against Garcia is a set up…trumped up charges to legitimize renditions without process.

Trump’s sanctions on four ICC judges for approving Israeli arrest warrants and investigating US torture invite charges against him and Marco Rubio for obstructing justice under Article 70 of the Rome Statute. #3E #EndImpunity

This guy consistently posts songs with incredible lyrics mere hours after events unfurl. This was a good one.

😡

HAPPENING NOW: House is voting on a bill to relocate or close Small Business Administration offices in immigrant-friendly jurisdictions As always, @nicolaebutler.bsky.social's got the explainer, plus the bill text for ya, right here at @migrantinsider.bsky.social: migrantinsider.com/p/hr2931

Ice agent pulling a gun on a detainee’s daughter…this is escalating daily and people are going to get killed.

Garcia is returning but he is being charged with human trafficking charges…transporting undocumented immigrants. Supposedly there are co-conspirators who have confirmed this. I think they have fabricated the whole thing and lied, but I have no proof.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

This is the mess that Trapper started…Trump claiming Biden was mentally impaired, it was covered up and his aides drafted memorandum etc. and signed it with an autopen. Orders DOJ to investigate…wtf

This is only happening because of the activism and noise people have been making about Jonathan Joss. Imagine how many Indigenous or LGBTQ+ people have been murdered and forgotten because they're not celebrities or have no public backlash to police ignoring hate

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @dccartoonist.bsky.social )

Some of y'all can't handle two high-agency males getting at it, and it really shows.

The Big Fucked Up Bill, is NOT a spending bill. It’s a government restructuring bill, that consolidates power in the executive, defunds critical services to the point of absurdity, removes the power of our courts to enforce the law and dramatically curtails voting rights. It’s Project 2025

So following a decision by upper management at work I've needed to take my flag down, & thus have decided to make a lump sum donation $100 for the haters, who couldn't stand to see the flag And $233 in honor of all y'all, who has shown me such unbelievable support & love 333 seems appropriate 🚛🏳️‍🌈

AOC: The girls are fighting aren’t they

😬

This is all too delightful but the best part is it puts the Republicans in a catch 22…they follow Trump and Elon primaries them with his money…they follow Elon and Trump primaries them…like kids in a bad divorce where there is no winning. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Oh my god, they're asking the kids to choose.

Jonathan Joss' husband Tristan has released another statement saying that donations to their old home GoFundMe are not needed at this time and would ask for everyone to direct their energy towards spreading the message about how he was in fact murdered in a hate crime

If Elon and Trump are breaking up…who gets custody of Steven Miller’s wife? 🤡🤡🤡🤡

Elon is spilling everything he knows…says he knows Trump is in the Epstein files… This isn’t for popcorn…this calls for shots!

Trump coming after Biden’s use of the autopen is pretty damn ironic. He never knows what he is signing, has to have it read to him and explained. He IS an autopen signing whatever Stephen Miller, Russel Vought and JD put in front of him…dumbass 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

What will the 1% do when only the 1% can afford to live? They don't seem to see that this multi-decade squeeze ends in either a more just society, or in violent revolution. Right now, they have the power to choose. Eventually, the choice will be made for them. www.sfchronicle.com/tech/article...

Trump’s travel ban being about the incident in Boulder and keeping terrorists out of the country is BS. The countries listed have only produced one terrorist. It’s about keeping non-white people out of the country. Trump: Ban the POC who we don’t think have been vetted. Jesus: Welcome the stranger.

Anti-straight discrimination? Next up…anti-white discrimination This opens a huge can of nonexistent worms. Couple this with the administrations anti DEI policies and expect tons of lawsuits. This whole decision sucks! @bullbearjeff.bsky.social

HUGE NEW LEAK: By July 1, Marco Rubio & Trump will secretly eliminate ENTIRE State Dept bureaus for women’s rights, public diplomacy, and humanitarian coordination... and cut 3,400 jobs. They want to keep this quiet until it's too late to stop them… Pass. It. On. 😎✨

After Trump’s talk with Putin, he is taking anti-drone technology away from Ukraine. Donnie is a Russian asset, bought and paid for!

Andry cried for his mother as guards shaved his head. He wasn't a threat. He’s a gay artist seeking his American Dream. It's cruelty disguised as policy. Kristi Noem felt no regret in killing/torturing innocent animals. People are the [patho]logical next step. #DisappearedInAmerica #AbductedByTrump

Welcome to Chump's 'Merica...

BREAKING: What do you notice from these 12 Nations Trump just banned travel from? krassencast.com/p/breaking-t...

🚨🚨🚨 In the last two hours, the Trump admin: - Banned all immigrant visas from 19 countries, including Cuba, Haiti, and Venezuela - Banned all student and researcher visas to Harvard - Colluded with Texas to kick 20,000 undocumented college students off of in-state tuition.

The regime has announced full and partial travel bans on 17 countries. Of course they are all countries with POC. It’s a distraction…stay focused on immigration, the Big Disgusting Bill and other things Taco is doing.

Unlike the current commander-in-chief, who dodged military service, Cesar Chavez enlisted in the United States Navy, served this country, and earned an honorable discharge. The prospect of renaming the USNS Cesar Chavez is an affront to all veterans and Roman Catholics. #CesarChavez #PrayForAmerica

There are innumerable reasons why I despise Trump, but the top two (other than destroying democracy) are the normalization of hate and violence . He has encouraged society to hate the marginalized, the ‘different’…anyone you don’t agree with and to do it openly. We have fallen into a dark place.

It’s not about the ships. It’s about reshaping American identity, weaponizing patriotism & deciding whose legacy gets to sail under the flag. We’re watching a purge, not just of people, but of the values they stood for. This is what happens when bigotry gets dressed up as “strength.”

I’ve always been proud to be American and I love my little multicultural blue dot of Galveston on the Gulf of Mexico…but after recent events in Texas and watching the regime, I’m seriously considering moving to a blue state (Minnesota?) or another country. Sad day in America.

This is outrageous. A federal worker at our DC town hall talks about how employees are being asked to write letters stating their support for Trump. Our loyalty is to country not any particular president. As the woman said, “what the literal fuck.” open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...
