Castor: They told Heidy Sánchez, ‘Come in early—we want to check on your status.’ And she did the right thing… And at that ICE meeting, they took her. They took her away from her child. This is a breastfeeding mother. They flew her to another detention center in Miami, and then onto a plane to Cuba.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Shut up about genocide, it's a losing issue. Shut up about trans rights, it's a losing issue. Shut up about free healthcare, it's a losing issue. Shut up about immigration & deportations, it's a losing issue. Shut up about defunding the police, it's a losing issue. Shut up or get the more evil guys.

ICE is basically the KKK

ICE agents are sociopaths. Don’t expect an appeal to morality to work- we need real resistance

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

The only real question in the U.S. right now is: fascism — yes or no. About a third of the country feels like a hard “yes.” (Scroll through X-Twitter and it seems like even more.) But is there a large enough share of the other two thirds to push this autocratic nightmare back before it’s too late?

AOC: If anyone is breaking the law in this situation, it’s not members of Congress — it’s DHS. It’s people like Tom Homan and Secretary Kristi Noem. You lay a finger on Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman or any of the Representatives that were there… we’re going to have a problem.

"It was disgusting to watch." Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, D-N.J., who was with Newark Mayor Ras Baraka at the time of his arrest at an ICE detention facility, joins "The Weeknight" to discuss what she witnessed.

So, the WH Deputy Chief of Staff says they're looking at suspending habeas and the mayor of a major city is arrested for seeking further information about possible ICE abuses in his city. In the past hour or two. We're already a police state but are teetering at the edge of something worse.

The president is an unabashed traitor. What a time

The smug, satisfied look on every racist’s face lately is villainous. Just telling on themselves

Ironic that Donny Dementia is blaming Biden for “the bad parts” of the economy considering right now forward momentum is the *only* thing keeping the markets afloat. It’s a Wile E. Coyote market- already off the cliff but not looking down

“Two million Palestinians in Gaza, nearly half of them children, are now surviving on a single meal every two or three days.“

People keep dying in these detention centers. Hunger strikes in protest of horrific conditions. We the people need to rescue our country and rescue these people truthout.org/articles/3-p...

Every now and then I just pause and think that … we could have just elected Kamala Harris, and we’d still have an economy that was the strongest in the world; we’d still have an American-led trans-Atlantic order; we’d be assured that our universities would remain the envy of the world; … (1/x)

One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.

The “sponsored by United Healthcare” at the end is a dystopian chefs kiss

Warren Buffet writes an erotic novel: “The tide went out, and we were all naked.”

It’s not often that I have breaking news but TikTok is throttling the heck out of political videos protesting Trump right now. Instead of vids w 30k likes I’m seeing single digit likes constantly. Where are the viral vids??

To put a finer point on it. Trump’s contention isn’t just that he can deport people without them appearing before a judge, but that he can render them into a life sentence in a foreign dungeon with no process whatsoever.

NEW from @nytimes.com: A bone-chilling account. A Venezuelan man detained alongside the 238 sent to El Salvador on March 15 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His name isn't among the names of those sent to CECOT that day and no one spotted him among those men. He's just... gone.

Wait. WHAT amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/04/...

pretty crazy watching the american president on live tv in the oval office planning the construction of concentration camps in a foreign country to house americans

“We always have to obey the laws,” Trump says in a press conference with a foreign dictator about using their concentration camps in defiance of our courts

You can literally see the insider trading of today’s “pause” on the graph. This is completely illegal, and nothing will be done about it.

Unreal: the story of an Australian MMA coach sent to a harrowing detention prison upon arriving in the US with a visa to lead a seminar. In case you had any doubt if it’s worth the risk of trying to enter the US unless absolutely necessary. www.instagram.com/p/DIEA_nBpCC...

Is it good that the Treasury secretary is not sure about the newly decided and announced tariff policy towards one of our largest trading partners...

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.
