Chief of Nashville, criminal division resigns over decision to charge Abrego Garcia. That’s a big story and the details will likely be very damning for the administration.

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division

No matter where you live, there’s probably an Indivisible group near you that’s organizing the pro-democracy majority to reclaim its power. Find your local group: indivisible.org/groups Or let us help connect you with your nearest organizers: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/organi...

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Let’s just hope it’s not all a distraction so the senate can pass the big beautiful bill on Friday night

Elon should explain to us exactly how he won the election for Trump.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a GROUNDBREAKING new treatment for aggressive breast cancer with a 100% SURVIVAL RATE. By combining chemotherapy with Olaparib (Lynparza) BEFORE surgery, EVERY patient who received the protocol survived the CRITICAL three-year post-treatment period. 🧪🧵⬇️

1/3. Top ICE officials ordered agents to “turn the creative knob up to 11” to arrest more people this weekend—including so-called “collaterals” with no warrants & no charges. This is a calculated cruelty campaign to terrorize immigrant communities, not enforce the law. tinyurl.com/NO-Warrants

Yikes! 🤢 Trump’s Bedminster golf club recently got slapped with 18 health violations and the lowest health grade in the entire county — scoring a 32 out of 100. Critical food safety risks, no soap at sinks, a household microwave in the kitchen, and more. 🔗 www.thedailybeast.com/president-do...

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

Apparently Marge didn’t read the bill before she voted for it.

JUST IN: Newark Mayor Ras Baraka sues interim US Attorney Alina Habba for "false arrest and malicious prosecution." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BREAKING: Over 130 former federal & state judges have filed an amicus brief urging the court to drop charges against Judge Dugan in Wisconsin The charges seek to criminalize judicial discretion & set a dangerous precedent for executive overreach We MUST defend judicial independence👇

F.T.C. Investigates Ad Groups and Watchdogs, Alleging "Boycott Collusion" ... that's a fancy way of saying the Trump admin wants to make it illegal to organize boycotts www.nytimes.com/2025/06/02/t... and severely limit Americans 'right of association.' en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom...

Tesla Takedown in Boston.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride. So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels. They opened the drawbridge to block them. So they marched to a different bridge. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

So damn proud of these kids for their courage. 💥 Hundreds of Milford, MA high schoolers walked out in protest today after ICE detained their classmate Marcelo Gomes Da Silva. Detained on his way to volleyball practice. Illegally. These students aren’t backing down—they’re rising up. #OnYourSide

Trump wants tanks in the streets for his birthday parade on June 14. But the real power won’t be in his circus—it’ll be in us. We, the people, are rising up to reject his wannabe-dictator act, his corruption, and his assault on democracy. The world will see who truly defends America.

Donald Trump sued me for racketeering, I won and did not back down. Donald Trump tried to have me investigated, I did not back down. Donald Trump named me in executive orders, I did not back down. If your lawyers are so afraid that they are cutting deals with Trump, you have the wrong lawyers.

San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat

NEW: After spending around $290M to help get Trump elected, billionaire Elon Musk’s tumultuous time in the government has come to an end. However, the numerous lawsuits he racked up for himself over the last 130 days may not be going anywhere. by: @jaknutson.bsky.social

@maddow.msnbc.com Just saw ICE press conference with update on results of their crackdown on Mass. Chilling mindset and confirmation of the swarm on communities we've been seeing. About 15 min. in they start discussing the case of Marcelo Gomes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xt_k...

ICE arrested a student on the way to volleyball practice in Milford, detained people waiting at an immigration court in Boston, smashed a car window of the wrong person in New Bedford, and the list goes on. Communities are right to speak out. This isn’t making us safer.

Homeland Security has gone full fascism. This is why also we are seeing them show up with ICE. DHS raided @nadler.house.gov office and arrested one of the aides.

So Do I! We All Should!!

The entire point.

trump's department of homeland security has thus far arrested: a judge a democratic mayor a democratic congresswoman now handcuffing a democratic congressional staffer gothamist.com/news/homelan...

Thou shalt not tie up children in zip ties and then deport them, for that maketh thou a MONSTER. A MONSTER! THE PEOPLE DOING ZIPTYING CHILDREN ARE MONSTERS!

Sounds like he should have been cutting back on his substance use, not our federal government.

Civics 101: presidents are not kings…

BREAKING: ICE RAID reported at Buona Forchetta tonight about a mile up the road in San Diego. Smoke bombs were used to disperse the crowd. FUCK ICE. WTF?!

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

It’s baffling that Trump can justify tariffs against Mexico by citing the cartels while simultaneously cutting a deal with Sinaloa allowing 17 cartel family members safe harbor in the United States.

NOW— Mass ICE arrests happened/are happening at the Manhattan immigration court at 290 Broadway on the 20th floor. I was just outside the building and an observer came out crying, confirmed they witnessed people getting detained outside courtrooms while families watched and wept.

“I’m a transgender service member and today was my last day in uniform. After 11 years, eight months and 1 day I’m taking the uniform off for good. I will always be yours bc this rank, these skills, this name will always be me.” ~Technical Sargent Altesse Aurum #TransInMilitary 🫡 🏳️‍⚧️ @altessaurum

Taking food and health care away from hardworking families, people down on their luck, seniors, and little babies—so that a handful of billionaires and corporate CEOs can get richer. Billionaires win. Families lose.

Reminder: the Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen posts are just to distract from the Qatari "gift" or the fact that he's trying to rip Medicare and Medicaid from millions of Americans right now.

Just call it the Self-Inflicted Wound Era, when we took a bunch of stuff that was working largely fine (vaccines, weather monitoring, friendly relations with like 175 countries, cancer research, renewable energy credits, the FAA, global trade, etc etc) and just broke them for giggles
