Pope Leo proclaims “urgent” need to root out “abuse of power, authority, conscience and spirituality” in his first statement on Church abuses Is he paving the way to shut down Opus Dei, which is accused of all of these? A THREAD 🧵

what federal agents did to a father of three Marines while he was cutting grass in Orange County on Sunday has happened in some form daily — and deliberately — all over Los Angeles for 18 days.

I didn’t have the Supreme Court destroying the authority of federal district courts on my bingo card. But in retrospect that’s perhaps where all this shadow docket decision-making was going all along. Really scary stuff.

Wow: ICE Has Deported at Least 70 U.S. Citizens

God bless this woman. She is a hero. Every damn word 🔥 The only thing I’d add: call the local police and report the group of men impersonating ICE and the attempted kidnapping—while they’re still lurking around.

Damn right!!!

The Supreme Court issued a stay, effectively ruling, for now, that the Constitution no longer applies, at least not to immigrants. Fast-track deportations with no opportunity for judicial review violate the fundamental principle of due process, especially for people already on U.S. soil.

It would be valuable if reporters who are straight reporting quotes from US officials that there were no leaks of the Iran strike operation would take into account this: "Steve Bannon seemingly had advance knowledge of President Donald Trump’s strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities."

Keep your eyes on Texas and Ohio everyone.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

NEWS: Senate Parliamentarian says GOP scheme to limit federal court preliminary injunctions by requiring plaintiffs challenging government actions to post large bonds cannot be part of reconciliation bill. A victory for Democrats, rule of law and the courts and a defeat for Trump and the GOP.

“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines” ktla.com/news/local-n...

In LA, we have the right to film law enforcement in public spaces, as long as we do not interfere. Arturo Hermosillo says he was arrested for doing exactly that. He was in his van when he saw an older woman, a local tamale vendor, lying on the ground during an immigration raid & started recording.

Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it? You’re kidding.

Virtues make us the best we can be.

Just need to sit silently today. It’s getting to be too much right now. Peace to all, love to all

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

I love this photo from my collection that was correctly framed to cut off the dude's head but catch the photobombing cat.

Canada is facing a housing crisis. Could it take a page from Europe? In the Austrian city of Vienna, more than half of its residents live in some form of subsidized housing www.cbc.ca/news/world/e...

Hey @marcelias.bsky.social... I'm curious. Since anyone could put on an ICE uniform (including J6 thugs) & since they are abducting people off the street while getting paid bonuses for everyone they grab, would this qualify for prosecution for human trafficking & violation of the RICO act??

Bombing Iran is to distract us from ICE which is to distract us from tariffs which are to distract us from the looting of our country

DefSec Pete Hegseth was asked at Pentagon presser about the US intelligence community conclusion that Iran was NOT proceeding with a nuclear weapons program. He refused to answer and praised Donald Trump. That’s one big tell.

Take note.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

“Wherever a journalist is silenced, the democratic soul of a country is weakened. Freedom of the press is an inalienable common good. Those who conscientiously exercise this vocation cannot see their voices silenced by petty interests or fear of the truth.”

Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.

Have any members of congress sued over the new illegal ICE detention facility inspection restrictions yet?

This is terrific: two dozen generally right-of-center public interest & law groups join in a letter saying Congress must not adopt Senate budget language "that would require courts to impose financial bonds before issuing temp restraining orders or prelim injunctions against the federal gov't." /1

We don’t know what the real name of the Director of White House Personnel is, we don’t know what country he came from, he refuses to turn in background check forms, and nobody will ask the president or press secretary about it.

VICTORY IN NORTH CAROLINA! We’re thrilled to celebrate a huge win: Governor Josh Stein has VETOED dangerous permitless carry legislation that would have allowed people 18+ to carry concealed, loaded guns in public—without a permit, a background check, or any safety or live-fire training. #NCPol 🧵

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

Conserving our environment is an American value. From hikers to hunters we want to keep our public lands public! Thats why the unprecedented sell-off of millions of acres of public lands needs to be removed from the Senate Budget Bill. Nature is non partisan! 🇺🇸 Pass it on!

this wonderful piece from @profmsinha.bsky.social gets to what was truly great about lincoln — his open mind and great capacity for moral growth www.theunpopulist.net/p/abraham-li...

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Manhattan Democratic Congressional Reps. Dan Goldman and Jerry Nadler were refused entry to ICE detention areas inside 26 Federal Plaza Wednesday morning, despite rules laid out by Congress allowing members to conduct unannounced visits for oversight purposes. MORE: www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/18/i...

ICE deports Florida pastor's wife even though judge issued stay of deportation order. She was denied her medication—shackled by wrist, stomach & ankles, leaving severe bruising. Daughters: "We paid everything they asked us, filled out forms, and not skipping anything.”

Not my sons. bsky.app/profile/gizm...

20-year-old U.S. citizen Adrian Andrew Martinez was swarmed by ICE in Pico Rivera while defending someone. He never hit back—just struggled—before being slammed into a CBP van. No records. No lawyer. His mom can’t find him. This is abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop.

Acknowledging the reality! Amen.

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.

NO THANK YOU EVER
