The first U.S. bishop appointed by Pope Leo XIV—a refugee himself—is mobilizing priests to accompany migrants at immigration court on June 20. (Via Christopher Hale)

“In one case, a woman detained in Burlington had her period and was denied access to menstrual products like tampons or sanitary pads. When she bled through her clothing, a guard allegedly gave her an extra bottle of water and told her to use it to wash up, according to the woman's sister…”

Former ABC News correspondent and anchor Terry Moran has joined Substack. He says he can’t wait to “get at the important work that we all have to do at a time of such trouble in our country.” bit.ly/3HAX77o

So far there are at least seven incidents where criminals have pretended to be ICE agents as a pretext to committing crimes. This is why ICE Agents need to: Show their badge. Show their face. Show their warrants. youtube.com/shorts/CMVPM...

them: how’s the writing going me: coming along! the writing:

"It was probably not the reception the president was hoping for with his debut at the cultural center he took over and now chairs — half full, half booing, and with a strong contingent of drag queens." www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

These cases--where ICE assaults someone and then ratchets up false claims against them to cover up their own crimes--are connected to the political cases, especially David Huerta, where ICE charged a felony after injuring a prominent union leader.

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

May the anti-ICE movement continue to spread nationwide! This is the Los Angeles spirit your news broadcast isn’t showing…

Trump's immigration agenda is a toxic cocktail of cruelty and corruption, poisoning our communities and fueling the fires of division. #FreedomToDissent

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

Trump's chaos is a carefully crafted smokescreen, designed to distract from his catastrophic policies and plunge us into darkness. #FreedomToDissent

I just drove by a big LAPD staging area with lots of SUVs on the 110 north on ramp from grand. Be aware.

The Trump administration is using our military to silence dissent and crush opposition. We won't be silenced - we'll keep protesting and fighting for our rights! #FreedomToDissent

Do you believe that Trump/Republicans are turning our country into a dictatorship (Project 2025) because they don’t fear consequences at the ballot box. The “big plan” is that there won’t be any elections to remove them from power. It sure looks that way? Agree?

Your safety is the top priority. Peaceful protesters have already been harmed for doing nothing. The story they’re selling isn’t legit. Please film everything, document everything.

Wellman: When I served in Iraq.. I heard about how Saddam Hussein divided them. Different sects fought each other. But you know -- Saddam and his family sat laughing at all of them. They divided them against each other and kept their power for 35 years. Does this sound familiar to anybody?

The Big Beautiful Bill Act contains several provisions that appear to offer direct or indirect personal benefits to Donald Trump, his family, & his business empire. These include unique tax shelters, deregulatory advantages, & branding-related legislation. Here are the most significant examples:

How much are they paying ICE agents for each person they deport? I know they’re evil and would do it anyway, but I’m just saying, I watched some videos and got a feeling about the way they try to SNATCH as many people as possible…it feels like a bounty system is in place.

ICE agents or bounty hunters? A raid at Home Depot on Wilshire in Los Angeles earlier today. What’s disturbing is that they’re wearing masks and vests you could buy on Amazon. They’re in unmarked cars, and I don’t see any IDs on the officers — regular SUVs with standard plates.

In an act of integrity and resistance, a supervisor in the Nashville federal prosecutor’s office resigned over how the Abrego Garcia case was being handled. The charges are bogus, pure political theater meant to justify a wrongful abduction.

So in a bizarre development, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is on his way back to the US from El Salvador BUT he’s now been indicted for allegedly transporting undocumented migrants within the US. Here’s the indictment: assets.bwbx.io/documents/us...

🚨Ben Schrader, former chief of the criminal division at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville, resigned shortly after the office moved to seek an indictment against Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

CNN: “The chief of Justice Department’s criminal division in Nashville resigned over the decision to charge Abrego Garcia, people briefed on the matter said…” www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/p...

Everyone on Twitter right now.

Elon Musk should post this picture of Donald Trump😂
