LAPD needs to stand down. They aren’t Federal immigration officers. Let Trump’s ICE try to defend their illegal acts. CA is a Sanctuary State #UnmaskICE m.youtube.com/watch?v=OFH4...

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.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

Just when you thought they couldn't go lower, Republicans stooped lower.

ZELDIN: I understand you're an aspiring fiction writer. I see why. SCHIFF: I understand your view that you can cut half of the agency and it won't affect people's health or their water or their air. That to me is a big fiction ... you could give a rat's ass about how much cancer your agency causes

Stop calling kidnapping and trafficking people to countries they’ve never been to “deporting.” It’s criminal behavior by a country with no conscience. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

ALSO, lying about vaccines, which are safe and preventative (saving people and costs). Hurting rural hospitals, already struggling. Gutting funding for medical research and clinical trials. Pimping quack cures instead of evidence-based medicine…

Yes, we noticed. You're still here.

So Trump’s administration is intervening worldwide on behalf of the oligarch who donated a quarter of a billion dollars to his campaign. Cool… cool.

from @propublica.org: State Department officials campaigned to force Gambia to license Starlink, even threatening to cancel development projects. US diplomats now work on behalf of Elon Musk? www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Ok let me say it again American White folk are the minority now , and it scares the hell out of White folk in the Great USA , This is why they are bringing Apartheid loving White Folks from South Africa !!!

This right here......

Well, I had an interesting Sunday night, how 'bout you?

The masked ICE agents are in DC today, as rumored, whisking people off the street while covering their faces completely.

🧵1 Unconstitutional. Unconscionable. ICE & FL law enforcement arrested 780 immigrants in 4 days—only 270 had final removal orders. Many still have legal status. This isn’t justice, it’s Trump’s mass deportation plan in action. Families shattered, rights trampled. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/26/u...

Joe Biden didn’t bankrupt 6 companies or fall asleep at a Pope’s funeral.

At this juncture I’d like to point out: * we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing * there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world * a united approach could stop the climate crisis But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

It was once inconceivable to think America could be so heartlessly cruel that it would deport a child with cancer But now the US has done it-twice To make matters worse The children are US citizens America seems to be doing it regularly-to our own kids And these are just the ones we know about

Today we marched to Tesla/ICE in Portland OR, conveniently located next to each other.

This line is going to stick with me for a very long time. “One of them is a 4-year-old with Stage 4 cancer who was deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors…”

“One of them is a 4-year-old with Stage 4 cancer who was deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors, the family’s lawyer said.” Thinking about the types of people who participated in this atrocity. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

His wife, his brother, and 11 or so unknown others …. Where are the “but her emails” vultures when national security is actually being compromised? Paging super sleuth James Comey too! 🤦🏽‍♀️ apnews.com/article/hegs... Hegseth had a second Signal chat where he shared details of Yemen strike

Auntie Lynn is a legal resident of Hawaii who has been held by ICE. Please listen to her story here. It’s heartbreaking. 💔 Please share in hopes Aunty Lynn will be freed and reunited with her family. 💗🙏 #MomSky #Voices4Victory

One point that's going to get lost in the discussion of #SCOTUS's intervention in the Alien Enemy Act case: This is the *value* of nationwide injunctions. Without them, you have to go district by district, and the government can try to play games by moving people to districts without relief (yet).

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

38 of the 43. "38 of 43 experts cut last month from boards that review science and research in NIH laboratories are female, Black or Hispanic. "The scientists typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal..." www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

www.wlrn.org/immigration/... The cruelty is the point for 47! He is an evil man.

He kept it off his Senate questionnaire. That would be a disqualifying factor, even for an otherwise qualified and respected candidate, of which he is the opposite. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

What a goddamn nightmare documentedny.com/2025/04/14/i...

🚨BREAKING: Judge finds flying migrants to El Salvador after orders not to "demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt." Visit www.democracydocket.com for full details and analysis.

Without due process, this could be you. It could be me. It could be any or all of us. It doesn’t matter who you voted for. Or the color of your skin. You must understand what is truly at stake here. All tyranny needs to thrive is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

"Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in. The attempts were 'near real-time'... "Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts..." www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

LFG #LosAngeles!! It’s gloomy outside to fit my gloomy mood about Kilmar and all the others disappeared!! Come hit the streets with us today 4/16 outside of the Consulate General of El Salvador and make some noise…because we will NOT go silently!! 11:30am-1:30pm 3250 Wilshire Blvd. LA 90010
