It is 2003. 28 Days Later and Freaky Friday are in theaters. Everyone's upset because we don't want to go to war in the middle east. it's 2025. 28 Years Later and Freakier Friday are in theaters. Everyone's upset because we don't want to go to war in the middle east.

This is what I would have expected. Remember, the campaign promise was mass deportations. This is also what the Christian right most desires.

I never want to hear another word about the “disastrous pullout from Afghanistan” again. What was disastrous was the way we just left our allies behind. Now we’re actively sending the ones we did do the right thing to die.

There are hundreds of men expelled without due process. Many more likely to share his fate. Let us do all we can to turn his fate around.

Stockton, CA: Heavily armed masked kidnappers drove up in an unmarked car and pulled a landscaper out of his truck and kidnapped him. When the landscaping company owner asked the men what they were doing, the kidnappers assaulted him and pulled out a metal baton.

L.A. Taco has confirmed with the family of 20yr old Adrian Andrew Martinez, who was taken by ICE while working at Walmart in Pico Rivera, is a US citizen who was speaking up for his coworker that was detained. ~ @eltragon.bsky.social

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

Exactly this

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

Got the whole family out to a #nokings rally

Yes.

ICE TRIED TO ROLL OUT IN Manhattan-New Yorkers said "NAH" AND SENT THEM BACK INSIDE!!

Brilliant

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.” ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal. Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

Newsom: "Speaker Johnson -- his eloquence was elevated when he called to 'tar and feather' the governor of California. Very religious man. I guess that's the spirit. The word of the Lord."

NEW: The CBP confirmed to @404media.co that it has been flying Predator drones over LA amid the protests. These Predator B drones are military-caliber UAVs used for aerial reconnaissance that can be armed. It further breaks the seal on federal involvement in civilian matters. More here:

DHS & Stephen miller sharing an image created by a guy with “wake up white man” in his bio, that per Phil Williams he got from an antisemitic white Christian nationalist here in Tennessee: x.com/philnvestiga...

If the Church will not go into the streets to loudly condemn the use of the military against our citizens, the Church is choosing comfort instead of Christ. Whatever you didnt do for the least of these you didnt do for our Lord! ⚓️

What standing up to ICE looks like. #Resist

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

This speech from @timmiller.bsky.social at our Free Andry fundraiser will make you angry and cry.

I’m going to start a new thread for this evening on the west coast as the other thread was so long it was breaking Bluesky. bsky.app/profile/laur...

For the record

The Trump administration's baseless deployment of the National Guard is plainly retaliation against California, a stronghold for immigrant communities, and is akin to a declaration of war on all Californians.

ICE tear gassed people who were stuck in their vehicles because ICE blocked the intersection. They were not even protesters. They were just stuck there due to ICE blocking them. As the helpless car passengers watched, ICE, unprovoked, began firing gas canisters upon the cars.

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

Great history and modern assessment

Let’s talk for a moment about some of the more subtle ways that the press acts as a mouthpiece for law enforcement. Actor Jonathan Joss was shot to death on Sunday. I don’t know what happened; I wasn’t there. But his husband said a homophobic neighbor shot him as part of an explicit hate crime. /1

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

✨WHEEZING✨ (please dear goddess stick around for the US entrant 💀)
