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.

Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, Kristi Noem and a whole lot of ICE/DHS types is will discover a Strange New Respect for habeas corpus and the rule of law when the 2029 Truth and Reconciliation Commission arrests them for human trafficking, conspiracy, kidnapping, and child abuse.

We’ve come to accept that Trump lies everytime he opens his mouth but if the Secretary of State is lying about US role in India/Pakistan truce & peace talks that is a BFD. NYT’s headlines aren’t helping situation. Stop feeding into their BS, MSM.

He does indeed seem very interested in repeatedly letting us know when the market is about to pump...

Soooo… Marco Rubio is lying about peace talks with Pakistan? This administration is a farce.

And why was Baraka there in the first place? Turns out the private prison facility is violating the law, but also unwilling to be served with legal process apple.news/AV9JgWB8fQq6...

The first Democratic governor who sends their state troopers into an ICE field office to free someone ICE has kidnapped is going to be president in four years.

Imagine being a cadet at West Point now--some of the most elite future officers in the world--and being told you can't read an American Nobelist, Toni Morrison, even as the government you're to serve decides that the only refugees it'll permit--indeed, seek--are white Afrikaners.

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

Mayor @freddieoconnell.bsky.social : “If ICE released their names, you’d hear about the father stopped on his way home from buying decorations for his son’s bday party… they found his empty car on the side of the road…” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DJcqZ5k...

USDA did not request employment status or income information. They want name, DOB, address, contact information, SSN, citizenship status and information about household members. They're not looking for waste, fraud, and abuse. They're looking for mixed status households & parents to deport.

The Trump administration hired a company to open an ICE facility in Newark Mayor Ras Baraka said they needed permits There's a sordid history of for-profit businesses holding immigrants under inhumane conditions So the mayor went to inspect And they arrested him NEVER STOP FIGHTING FASCISM

A distraction but, still disgusting: US to accept white South African refugees while other programs remain paused www.seattletimes.com/nation-world... via @seattletimes

Has she ever visited the Library of Congress? It's not open to the public. You need to get a pass either for the day or an actual library card. Children under the age of 16 are not there unaccompanied.

Breaking: Newark, New Jersey Mayor Ras Baraka (D) has just been arrested by the Trump administration after he was protesting outside of an ICE facility.

“The controversial 1,000-bed facility is owned by the private prison company GEO Group, which entered into a 15-year, $1 billion contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in February.” $1 BILLION dollars lining the pockets of a private prison company. www.insidernj.com/baraka-arres...

In just the past 24 hours, the Trump regime has escalated their push towards authoritarianism dramatically: - Miller threatens to suspend Habeas Corpus - ICE arrests Newark Mayor - RFK Jr announced the formation of a database of autistic people We need to prepare mass mobilizations.

The Library of Congress is a research library. You have to be 16 to access it. Leavitt is lying.

I think it's bad that the president's attacks on journalists regularly feature calls for government regulators to punish them.

Rümeysa Öztürk has finally been ordered released. She has been unlawfully detained for more than six weeks in an ICE facility in Louisiana, more than 1,500 miles away from Somerville. This is a victory for Rümeysa, for justice, and for our democracy.

It appears that MAGA is not breeding racists fast enough so trump is fast tracking their importation.

New: a man 'disappeared' by ICE was not included on a government list of people deported to El Salvador's mega prison. But we found his name in a hacked flight manifest to the country. Raises questions about how much the government knows about who it is deporting www.404media.co/man-disappea...

ICE agents in Worcester, Massachusetts arrested a mother outside of her home with her newborn baby and 16 year old daughter. The 16 year old stood in front of the ICE vehicle holding the baby. She handed the baby to a neighbor & fled. Police caught up to her, in a heartbreaking scene.⬇️

I know some of you may do this anyway, but I nonetheless urge you NOT to send items like these to the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, 601 D St. NW, Washington, DC 20530. Please do NOT do that. Thank you.

THIS IS NOT NORMAL Telemundo Nueva Inglaterra captured video of a 16-year-old girl's face being held on the ground by Worcester police officers; she and her mother were detained in an apparent ICE operation #immigration

Tariffs just got real: our first $36K bill with 125% + 20% + 25% markup hits hard 💸. These are upfront costs - due before selling a single unit - causing serious cash flow strain, price increases, read more! 📦 adafruit.com/tariffbill #tariffs

Pirro is the 23rd former Fox employee Trump has named to his administration. She's wildly unqualified to be DC's top prosecutor and was been described by her former executive producer as a "reckless lunatic." Gonna thread some of her lowlights.

Judge Box of Wine for DC Attorney. You can’t make this shit up.

Representative Ted Lieu for the win. #USDemocracy

Robert Francis Prevost, Pope Leo XIV, is not the first US Pope, he's the first Peruvian Pope. Career in Peru, lifetime in Peru, loyalty to Peru, bishop to Peru, and citizenship to Peru. He had the misfortune of being born in the US but made his nationality and pathway elsewhere.

REPORTER: You just announced a new nominee for US Surgeon General who never finished her residency, and is not a practicing physician. So can you explain why you picked her to be America's top doctor? TRUMP: Because Bobby thought she was fantastic ... I don't know her

Great news - we will be searching for a tree physiologist (tenure track) to join the Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences, UBC Forestry, later this year. Stay tuned! (Please share.)

Ford just slapped $2,000 price hikes on three of its most popular cars—thanks to Trump’s tariffs. The import tax on Mexico-built vehicles is hitting your wallet, while Trump pretends it’s helping workers. The models taking the hit: 📌 Ford Maverick 📌 Ford Bronco Sport 📌 Ford Mustang Mach-E

once again my full throated support and endorsement for any democrat who pursues criminal legal accountability for the DOGE boys. and i’d be fine with shipping these guys to the Hague

A CASE STUDY- that no one wanted to experience If you want to know what cutting Medicaid does to rural America—look at Mississippi. Their Republican governor refused to expand Medicaid. Now over half their rural hospitals are at risk of shutting down and many already have. #ProtectMedicaid 🧵

Yet another Trump admin victim in the ongoing death (of transparency/fairness/honesty) by a thousand cuts... 🤨 www.propublica.org/article/drug...

WTF is this shit? GTFO of Canada and don't come back.

A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump regime from banishing a plane full of Asian immigrants — in violation of a previous court order. Swiftly, and with no due process, the regime intended to expel the migrants to Libya, or Saudi Arabia this week. According to an emergency…

New Yorkers, seriously, please call Gillibrand and Schumer tomorrow and tell them to vote against this deeply corrupt trash bill. You can find their contact info here: reps.fyi

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.
