AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

This Juneteenth, I think of the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who reminded us that “darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that.” There’s serious work ahead as we build a more just nation.

DHS wants 72 hours notice before inspections of detention facilities. Kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

He was detained outside church. “He was in chains at his feet,” Alondra Sotelo-Garcia told a local news outlet about seeing her father arrested. “Shoelaces were taken off, his belt was off, he didn’t have his ring, he didn’t have his watch. Everything was taken from him.”

NOEM SHOULD RESIGN

The at home assassination of a state lawmaker should be getting a bigger reaction from the President than someone throwing a rock at a Tesla dealership.

RIGHT NOW I’m at the DTLA federal detention facility. My constituents are demanding answers: Where are the people ICE violently snatched from Pasadena this morning? Are they getting due process? I won’t stop until we get the truth.

In loony MAGA-Land, government employees are part of the “deep state” that needs to be “traumatized.” In the real world, excellent government employees accomplish good things for people. Here are just a few examples. 🧵

I will never again see an ICE agent without assuming they're from Proud Boys or Oath Keepers, a pardoned Jan 6 rioter or a member of the KKK.

We now live in a country where men without a uniform or badge, but wearing gang clothing and face masks can grab any person and take them away. Is this really our America?

It's Time For Mike Lee To Resign. act.betterutah.org/sign/its-tim...

The American gestapo.

Trump has increasingly usurped the power of Congress. If there were ever a time for the legislative branch to stand up for itself, now would be the time. Congress needs to step up and do its job. Kudos to Bernie.

It’s damned about time. I absolutely LOVE this photo!! Intelligence vs. Idiocy .... Intelligence wins, every time.

Congress members have a legal right to conduct oversight at ICE facilities. This is the regime hiding its blatant abuses.

Wildflowers for the win !!!! 🌾🌻🌸🌼🍃

I want the record to reflect that with every fiber of my being I OPPOSE any attack on Iran or entry into any armed conflict in the Middle East! Period. NOT in my name, NOT with my taxes! I HATE what is happening to my country, and what my country is doing. I HATE IT!

I don't know about you...but I'm disturbed by the amount of hell NOT being raised by leadership about masked individuals jumping out of unmarked vans, refusing to identify themselves...and just shoving people into a Goddamn vehicle and whisking them away.

This is 100% fixable without cutting a single dollar from seniors’ benefits. Pass my bill to require ultra-high earners to pay their fair share into the system. Problem solved. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Wow! Now there is a creative solution....nice job Minnesota!!

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

Nailed it! They hate him.

In a lengthy exchange, with ICE Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce, Reps Nadler and Goldman are denied the ability to visit the 10th floor. Joyce says it's not a detention facility it's just a place ppl are housed for several days w/out beds.

"The People United, Will Never Be Defeated!" chant crowds as they welcome Mayoral Candidate Brad Lander after he was released from ICE custody with charges dismissed.

Is the floor so low we’re only half-expecting an apology from a Senator who mocked the assasination of politicians he didn’t like? Or is there just no floor at all anymore? Mike Lee should resign. Today.

We’re watching our constitutional rights erode...piece by piece—often in silence. What’s called ‘protection’ is too often quiet control. This isn’t alarmism; it’s reality. If we don’t continue to speak up now...and get louder every day...we may not have the freedom to later.

Fake Cops …

Rep. Jamie Raskin says it plain: “It’s a gangster state.” Trump turned the presidency into a racketeering operation—lies, bribes, threats, revenge. This isn’t politics. It’s organized crime. And the GOP is all in. #TrumpCorruption #Raskin #MAGAisAMob youtube.com/watch?v=__jK...

Speaking against gerrymandering: Our Tyler Daye of Common Cause NC was among the powerful speakers at a press conference at the federal court in Winston-Salem as our trial against discriminatory voting maps began today. We're standing up to defeat gerrymandering and to protect the freedom to vote!

What's happening to libraries in Florida should frighten everyone. Spurred on by Moms For Liberty, the AG is threatening librarians with felonies for stocking LGBTQ+ books and overruling established processes for removing "harmful" material. It's a full on censorship campaign by the government.

Brad Lander—comptroller, mayoral candidate—was handcuffed by masked ICE agents in a courthouse simply for asking to see a warrant as he defended an immigrant. This is authoritarian intimidation, a dangerous abuse of power weeks before a crucial election.

administration should just put up a “no niggers” sign and save themselves the trouble of writing out each country

Moulton: It turns out the U.S. Army is not great at doing Soviet-style or North Korean-style parades, because that’s not what people sign up to do… Imagine how much veteran housing you could build for $40 million. You could help a lot of vets with that kind of money. And this parade helped nobody.
