I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

If you haven't heard about the documents that Judge Xinis just unsealed in the Abrego Garcia case, it's your lucky day. I wrote it up here. Free to subscribe: www.muellershewrote.com/p/newly-unse...

“Be warned: Trump is expecting resistance. You will not be heroes. You will be the pretext,” writes @radiofreetom.bsky.social:

This!

Let’s send 1,000 letters to Congress over the next few hours, telling them to stop Trump’s authoritarian and wasteful military parade. Send your letters here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

For all the time that Donald Trump has spent talking about how Joe Biden walks I just wanna make sure everyone knows that Donald Trump fell walking up steps today. Stable Genius?

"Mass deportation" is the excuse and trigger for authoritarianism. As it was always intended to be.

How on earth can this country still hold the World Cup and Olympics next year??

Here is the 101 in Los Angeles at this moment with reportedly 1,000 protestors holding up traffic on the freeway

Trump nearly falls flat on his face while struggling to walk up the steps to Air Force One today

She has short bowel syndrome, and only the U.S. offers the treatment that keeps her alive. But her family’s humanitarian parole was suddenly revoked. Now, two months later, DHS has reversed course.

Goldman: Both of the issues Marjorie Taylor Greene raised—were widely publicized and thoroughly debated in committee and on the House floor. If you’re publicly admitting that you didn’t know what you were voting on and now regret it—you’re not competent or qualified to serve in Congress.

What happened to states’ rights, Kristi?

No doubt!

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

We know. They gave you immunity.

GOP plans to increase the tax rate by 74% by 2031 for people earning $15,000 yearly.

Cartoon by @adamzyglis.bsky.social. Our democracy is only as strong as a piece of paper…

As mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka has a responsibility to ensure that facilities operating in the city are adhering to laws that protect the safety and wellbeing of occupants and residents.

It’s not that they don’t know what the constitution says. They know what it says. Just like they knew what it said when they asked Pence to ignore it. They just don’t care. They believe it can be rewritten by bending it to their will, if enough of them decide to do it.

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

Massachusetts neighbors tried to stop ICE from ripping away a mother who was with two children, including a newborn baby. The agents had no warrant. Those who want “illegals” to uphold the law should start by upholding it themselves. This is vile, cruel, and unforgivable. Period. #OnYourSide

Exactly. Just imagine. Had President Obama shredded our constitution and rights, Mitch McConnell, as *minority leader,* would’ve held full court press and stopped everything happening NOW in its tracks. Where is OUR minority leader? It’s time to #ChuckSchumer +… youtube.com/shorts/xvriw...

JFC. Feel the pain, but then get angry! Never allow them to defeat us.

I know this is terrible to see & hear. DON'T LOOK AWAY To look away is to ignore that masked, unditentified authorities are kidnapping people on the street with no warrant and no due process. Be ready to film, peacefully intervene, call local news stations to share video.

It can be tough to navigate relationships when our friends start having kids. This guide can help both parents and child-free folks figure out how to stay connected in a new life stage.

Yes

Sorry to sound Woke but I don’t think the feds should be bragging on live tv about their abilities to disappear an elected public official, for fun

At this point I really need every single American to be at this level of rage. I don’t recognize this country anymore. And he hadn’t even seen the news yet of the mayor being taken and congress members being assaulted by ICE. This is appropriate levels of rage.

This right here......

What happened before Mayor Baraka’s arrest needs daylight. Did masked ICE agents let him in just so they could arrest and perp walk him to send a message of fear. Because that’s what it looks like. We’re sliding into fascism—and fast. And if we don’t stop it now, we may not get another chance.

We are not under invasion. There is no justification for suspending our constitutional rights. Every single American should speak out against this, loudly and forcefully.

Today is the 111th birthday of Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre

There should be bipartisan concern about the reports that DOGE is merging HHS, Social Security, and IRS data into one database. That is the trifecta of personal information, and any competent person (or machine) could essentially put together a complete profile of your life.

Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give into fear. Never. Ever. 🇺🇸

This!
