OMG.

Every day a different Democratic member of Congress should go to an ICE facility to inspect their detention facilities or speak to a detainee—and bring the media. That’s such an easy fight to have.

Live in such a way that you trigger white Christian nationalists.

Masked faces No badges No apparel identifying them as ICE No warrants signed by a judge Those aren't ICE agents. They are bounty hunters kidnapping people off the streets.

This is a cover-up‼️ DHS is illegally trying to change the rules on congressional oversight visits to facilities to hide human rights abuses. “We know that they’re trying to hide all those abuses. That’s why it’s important that we can just get in at a moment’s notice.” – Rep. @gomez.house.gov

Have seen it on here already, but another reminder never hurts - don't forget that folks taking SSRIs/anti-depressants can experience nasty side effects in these kinds of temperatures, including dehydration and heat stroke.

The paper of bigotry laundering has consequences

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: In a massive blow to Trump’s deportation machine, The ICE agents who attempted to gain entry at Dodger Stadium have been REFUSED entry and have been escorted out by LAPD. Good riddance.

The protest is over. The Dodgers released a statement that ICE was denied entry into the parking lot. That is consistent with what I witnessed.

Bro, you gotta block that guy, not because he sucks, but because he’s only here to get you to say stuff to him that will get you in legal trouble.

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

FINALLY Democrats are putting out HARD-HITTING ads. WATCH AND SHARE: #MAGAKidnappers

We didn't get stranger danger beat into us for a decade to not stop these fucks.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

The day before Kristi Noem's goons premeditated an arrest of Brad Lander, NYC amended its lawsuit against Noem, catching them lying to explain their theft of $80M. I'd say that's just a coinkydink...But Ras Baraka is suing Noem too. www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/18/r...

People fear disability Capitalism and ableism teaches folks that disabled people are “less than” Doomed to be left by the wayside “Better off dead” As a result the general public is terrified of becoming “one of us”. We are a minority group you can join at any time. Support disability rights!

It’s a crock of shit to blame a reporter if his expose of a politician’s misconduct delivers a political victory to the opposition. It’s the politician’s fault for behaving that way. The reporter just did their job. Stop shifting blame to the “liberal” or “conservative” media.

New publication out with the late great @jmhenner.bsky.social and @anthrodad.bsky.social The #Deaf Childhood Experiences Scale aims to provide data on deaf life factors with the goal of better understanding... quality of life outcomes among deaf populations. academic.oup.com/jdsde/articl... 1/6

The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.

New publication alert: global.oup.com/academic/pro...

This is exactly the right tone when privileged people suffer minor or temporary consequences standing up for powerless people. It’s still about the powerless people. ICE is Gestapo trash.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Lander and Padilla have set the standard that absolutely every Democratic politician should meet or exceed if they don't want to get primaried.

Shocking to outsiders? Authors' work finances dozens of full time jobs, from publishers to agents to book printers to booksellers, yet very few authors make enough from their own books to write full time and either have other jobs or spouses who earn more. I find this extremely fucked up.

And eggs, don't forget the eggs.

The accused assassin allegedly used data brokers to track down the Democratic lawmakers he murdered. Congress doesn't need any more proof that selling data to anyone with a credit card is deadly. Every American's safety is at risk until Congress cracks down on data brokers.

Political violence must always be condemned.

Trump just posted: "Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!" So reckless. So dangerous. So irresponsible.

Not ready for the news cycle where these fucks pretend he was a leftist. But in case facts still matter to anyone out there, here's some to use in those convos.

People will tell you that they view property destruction as equivalent to violence against a person, but that's not true. They think property destruction is worse

Let’s be clear: the blood in Minnesota is on the GOP’s hands. They created this toxic climate. They empowered the hate. And now people are dead. This isn’t hyperbole—it’s accountability.

Iran has been fighting Israel since biblical times. The bottom line is Israel has the right to exist. They were there since the beginning of time.

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

Spread the word. Republicans are Marxists!

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?
