Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported. The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us. Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending? Not justice, it’s a betrayal.

ICE denied U.S. Reps. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) and Jonathan Jackson (D-IL) entry into it’s facility in Chicago.

"Peace president."

LA DODGERS just now: “This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.” Right on, Dodgers! More of this, please.

SpaceX’s Starship spacecraft exploded on its test stand on Wednesday, sending a large fireball into the sky. The company had cleared personnel from around the site. wapo.st/4kUmz6G

Break it, un-break it, take credit for it. Every time.

Every time I post about ICE tactics, I get replies, “This is what I voted for.” Really? You voted for a mother crying for mercy while her child is still in school—about to come out and find her missing? There isn’t another way to go about this that preserves our humanity?

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Trump didn't do this by himself. He has the backing of America's wealthiest men, SCOTUS, Congress, the mainstream media, many of our largest corporations, etc. There has been large-scale betrayal.

So much for MAHA.

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

You know your country has screwed up priorities when it pretends it doesn't have the money to prevent LGBTQ teen suicides but it *does* have the funds to subsidize the wealthiest man in the world's engineering incompetence. www.cbsnews.com/news/video-s...

Today we honor Juneteenth, a reminder that freedom was fought for, not given. We must honor the past by continuing to fight every day for justice, truth, and equality.

ICE looking more and more like the American Gestpo.

Do any of these fuckin things not explode?

Happy Juneteenth

Trump regime ICE trooper: “we’re just following orders” As they illegally kidnapped people for Trump’s ethnic cleansing campaign. #StopICE

It's official: every Democratic Senator is united against tax handouts for billionaires and billionaire corporations. We believe nobody in this country should suffer so that Jeff Bezos can buy another yacht.

Rest in peace, Gilbert. 💔

“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing. Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle. Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop. (1 of 2)

Just a reminder that Trump was going to announce his sanctions on Russia for not negotiating “in two weeks” about 3.5 weeks ago. Taco

Hot take: the way Tucker grills Ted Cruz in those clips should be the rule not the exception. If more of the media did this we would be in a much better place* (* = It should go without saying that we are not and never will be Tucker fans)

Hard to argue with that.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

Always.

I wrote this four days ago. Today, they arrested the NYC Comptroller.

It is illegal, under U.S. law and International Law, for a U.S. President to assassinate or order the assassination of the leader of another country. But, since John Roberts and his MAGA SCROTUS gave Trump unconditional immunity, the law really doesn't matter anymore. Hurrah. 😑

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

ICE agents are out here manhandling elected officials—yet again. They arrested NYC Comptroller Brad Lander for asking if they had a warrant—which is his constitutional right. (1/2)

This photo. ICE is a gang.

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

BREAKING: Jury finds MyPillow founder Mike Lindell defamed former employee for a leading voting equipment company.

This should be bigger news.

It is pretty apparent that most everybody at Fox knows that this will explode the national debt and the budget deficit -- but they know that they are going to have to sell this lemon anyway.

I believe it to be true. How about you?

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Context note: DOJ doesn’t turn over evidence to Congress if they have a viable investigation in the works.

Investigate ICE, Congress

Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani is now here calling for the release of Lander (his fellow mayoral candidate)

Lander and Padilla have set the standard that absolutely every Democratic politician should meet or exceed if they don't want to get primaried.

ICE arrests NYC Comptroller Brad Lander He was handcuffed and detained by federal agents while escorting migrants from immigration hearings in Lower Manhattan & asking for a warrants

Hi, it’s Meg again. Brad is still in ICE custody. We are grateful to the many friends, supporters, and allies who have gathered in Federal Plaza. Together we are standing up for those with no voice.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) falsely claimed the Minnesota shooter who killed Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband was a leftist. The shooter, Vance Boelter, was anti-abortion, voted for Trump, and had a hit list of ~45, of Democrats and abortion providers. Sen. Tina Smith is on the list.

This, ladies & gentlemen, is fascism. Brad Lander is the NYC Comptroller & a NYC mayoral candidate. He has been manhandled & detained by ICE. Call your 2 Senators & representative at 202-224-3121 demand Congressional oversight immediately. If it can happen to him, it can surely happen to you.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.
