"LAPD tear-gassed a baby under age two. When we were trying to chant their rights ICE honked so no one could hear." —An immigration lawyer on the scene in LA.

Los Angeles: if you get tear gas or see other people who have been and someone calling themselves a medic tries to use milk to wash their eyes out SLAP THAT MILK JUG OUT THEIR FUCKING HAND. MILK DOES NOT WASH OUT TEAR GAS. Just use bottled water please.

The US record on protecting Afghans who helped our military in that war has been pretty weak to begin with, but now we are deporting them to a very credible risk of death. Why would any other allies on the ground work with the US military in the future?

I’m invoking my legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight. Families are being held inside—no basic necessities…in inhumane conditions. ICE doesn’t get to hide behind locked doors. This isn’t a request. It’s my job. And if they try to block me, they’re breaking the law.

not sure there's a more embarrassing profession than ICE agent. Oh, you dress like a soldier to abduct sous chefs and throw flashbangs at protesters? Get a real job you loser

Imagine putting on all this tactical gear and latching onto a military assault vehicle so you can storm a minimall on Sepulveda and apprehend a line cook at family restaurant.

Should Democrats take money from someone whose factory violated the Clean Air Act for 12 of the last 12 quarters? Should they welcome someone who operated a racist workplace? Who violated NLRB rules? Who committed securities fraud? Who lied to get a government loan? Who ripped off green subsidies?

While we stand by our reasoning for encouraging voters to consider Senator Ramos, in light of her decision to endorse Andrew Cuomo — the antithesis of the values, policy, and communities we represent — we cannot in good faith recommend that riders include her on their ballots. Updated slate coming.

Trump is calling all the networks to tell everyone he's not thinking about Musk. Not at all. Nuh uh.

He is coming home and will receive due process. That's a win for everyone who has been fighting so hard on this. And this also blows up one of the key claims of the regime that they had no power to bring someone like Kilmar back. Now they have to do the same for others held in gulags abroad.

The fight between Musk and Trump is fundamentally all about people losing their healthcare. If you don’t know how to capitalize on that and you keep insisting it’s all a distraction you need to find another line of work.

So obvs Trump has the resources and pettiness to utterly dismantle Elon's entire life. The question for me is "was he stupid enough to let Elon learn information that could harm him" I'm guessing "yes he is stupid enough", but also "no information is embarrassing enough to hurt Trump"

The reason certain people are pushing Dems to get more anti-trans/anti-immigrant/anti-abortion etc. is not because they believe most Dem voters hold those views, it’s because they themselves hold those views and think they are good and right, so no amount of poll data is going to make them shut up

this story is just a great illustration of NIMBY nihilism. at core, these people have no vision for anything. they simply oppose change for the sake of opposition. (i also think there is an element of death denial here — if i can prevent all physical changes i can deny the reality of my mortality)

Trump has basically conceded our scientific and technological supremacy to China without a fight. I will not live long enough to see the damage reversed; that is, if it’s ever reversed.

1 in 4 pregnancies ends in miscarriage. If people do this, emergency services won’t be able to keep up. If every miscarriage is investigated, every woman will be a potential criminal. Travel will be restricted, felons can’t vote, and police departments and prisons will have to expand— Oh.

The way people are talking about the current demolition of research funding and HE legitimacy reminds me of the early days of COVID when I (and others) said it would be at least six years before any normalcy. Rage, despondency, rejection…eventually voting for a dictator just to feel alive.
