Very cool that an 87 year old congresswoman whose colleagues know she’s senile is going to run for reelection

This entire "national immigration emergency" is the fakedy-est faked fake emergency in the history of fakery That is what it was on January 20, and that is what it is now The whole thing is a steaming, fly-riddled pile of horseshit and anyone who tracks immigration trends knows it

I believe this is happening in L.A. right now too.

Currently there are move armed forces deployed to LA than to Syria and Iraq combined? Why? Is this reasonable?

People yelling impeach don’t really understand how deep of shit we are standing in right now.

Just 5 days ago, I was on MSNBC explaining how (1) Musk has hurt too many people to be an ally to Democrats and (2) that he would try to find his way back to Trump sooner or later. Don't be surprised when Elon's at Mar-a-Lago in a couple of weeks.

Aren't the Police the protective force that maintains the status quo for the wealthy elite? Don't you think we ought to attack the roots of social problems instead of jamming people into overcrowded prisons?

They gutted social programs, shut down factories, outsourced jobs, and left entire towns to rot, and then they militarized the cops, constructed a bunch of private prisons, and built Cop Cities to crush any resistance, but they want us to blame immigrants for the way things are?

What a rotten reality to have a White House occupant who hates so many Americans and hates everything our democratic nation stands for.

Smart centrist pundits: “blue sky is an echo chamber, I’m staying on X for the stimulating exchange of ideas” The stimulating exchange of ideas in my mentions on X:

It’s ICE and the cops, you dipshits

It can happen here. It is happening here.

😲

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

The only reason prisons are able to pay incarcerated individuals less than minimum wage is because the 13 amendment exempts punishment in prison from the prohibition on slavery. They're legal slaves. That doesn't apply to civil detention for immigration. It's blatantly unconstitutional.

Every elected Democrat - not just in California but nationwide - should be on TV and radio today telling this story to the American people and condemning Trump’s DHS agents for trying to round up first graders in elementary school.

My gf is such a nerd, but that why I love her so much🥰.

Along with abolishing ICE we should abolish all for-profit prison companies in the country.

On the left, Jesse Watters denouncing Comey for saying Trump should be 86’d and claiming it was a death threat. On the right, Jesse Watters describing Terry Moran’s firing from ABC as him being… 86’d. To misquote a line from the right, you don’t hate [Fox] enough.

Double.

I waitress while I run for Congress. I know what it’s like to stretch a paycheck, juggle bills, and still show up for your community. Washington needs more people who live like us — not just talk about us. Derrick Van Orden talks the talk. I'll walk the walk.

DING DONG!! DING DONG!!!

Sending in the military against the wishes of the people and their governor isn't law and order, it's an invasion.

A bunch of people who have had Ukranian flags in their display names for years are mad that there are some Mexican flags flying at LA protests. Hmmm. I wonder why…

All the people eager to cosplay FPS games in real life always forget this one thing: The characters in those games don't have to worry about food, shelter or money-managing. But of course, why focus on the logical when you can just go pew-pew-pew like children on the playground but with real guns?

This would be funny if it weren't actually true.

You want proof, trump, and co. Aren't expert strategists playing 4d chess? They literally forgot to plan on how to feed and house the troops they deployed to LA. They thought nothing through

White people need to stop thinking of MLK as some sort of superhero who single-handedly fixed racism by Being Orderly

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Texas 🤝🏽 California Fuck ICE 🖕🧊

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

Btw LA, there are people out on the streets trying to get you to sign a petition “for the minimum wage”. Do NOT sign. The service workers fought and won a higher minimum wage and this petition is to LOWER it. Tell them to fuck off and don’t let anybody else sign either

Don't ever sign anything when you're at a protest. Don't ever give anyone your name or any identifying information

LGBTQ+ people worldwide still face violence and discrimination. ILGA's #RenewIESOGI Joint Statement urges the Human Rights Council to renew the mandate of the Independent Expert on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity. 1/2

This is the kind of thing that is going to happen constantly now that we have an unaccountable masked gang with complete impunity: Random scammers, stalkers and criminals are just going to pretend to be ICE, because why not?

ICE keeps luring immigrants into fake check-ins and detaining them to disincentivize compliance with routine procedures, which they will then use to justify even further brutality and injustice. The purpose of a system is what it does.
