A full-scale attack on Iranian nuclear facilities is a bad idea "With three unstable, unpopular leaders facing off, the stakes could not be higher, the consequences more unpredictable. We are rolling the nuclear dice. This is unlikely to end well." www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

In Bell, CA an entire community stood up against ICE, including the local police and the fire dept. The fire truck appears to not allow ICE vehicles to move forward nor remain and pushes forward to escort them out. A police car also helped with escorting. /

JD Vance, you know my name. If you want to talk about political theater, let’s start with the thousands of troops that your administration is using as props in Los Angeles.

🧵 It’s time for all of us to stand up against trump’s Gestapo. Not everyone can confront them face to face… so I’m compiling a list here of different ways you can engage to help. Please add more ideas in the comments and we’ll keep expanding the thread together. +

Republicans say they’re targeting criminals & gang members. Bullshit! They’re targeting anyone who looks illegal. It’ll only get worse. They have a 3,000 a day quota to meet. No charges or warrants needed, no questions asked & no appeals allowed no matter what. #MAGAKidnappers

a sitting federal judge — appointed by trump of course — awarded a student for a paper that basically says dred scott was right and should have gone further

Emerson Colindres, a recent high school graduate & wonderful athlete, a 19 year-old kid was abducted at an immigration check-in. He was thrown in jail & then deported to a country he left at age 8. He has no connections there & no place to stay. Call Congress at 202-224-3121 to stop the cruelty!

A metaphor if ever there was one: www.usatoday.com/picture-gall...

Paul Begala nails it with his explanation of how Trump weakened the U.S. global leadership capacity by shifting resources from intel & counterterrorism to deportations—because he sees a guy with a leaf blower in Encino as more dangerous than someone with a suicide vest in Manhattan. #OnYourSide

I've recently heard that tow truck workers are organizing to tow illegally parked, ICE unmarked cars. ✊

Seriously, they're the worst!

So now there may be a war because #TrumpleThinSkin couldn't stand an Obama success?

'They quit after a few hours': Farmers admit they can't find American workers https://twp.ai/4iofQd

Nice dog whistle, JD. His name is Sen. Alex Padilla. You served with him in the Senate. But of course you called him “Jose.”

He didn’t like the answers it was giving, so he’s starting over.

So many videos of these masked thugs Making Us Safer

"The media continues to cover politics as if it is still the 1990s. 'Both parties are basically center-right or center-left parties.' The journalism infrastructure in our country wants to pretend that that’s the world that we live in. The instinct is to treat everything politicians say as valid."

It’s not the worst idea I’ve heard today.

BREAKING: We now have confirmation from Reuters and NBC that B2 bombers are being moved toward Iran, to Guam. This is what would be needed for a strike, if Trump gives the green light.

Seriously, if you’re pretending to confuse “Jose” with “Alex,” we all know why.

He ruins everything he touches

President Trump ordered ICE to target large, Democratic-led cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, based on false claims of illegal noncitizen voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

People should throw glitter in their vehicles when they jump out like Rambo to snatch another non-criminal, hard-working human being. They will never get the glitter out of their cars completely and then their friends and family will know who they really are.

I’ve got a pocket got a pocket full of GLITTER

Younger people will be shocked to hear this, but way back when I grew up, anytime you saw a movie where some government official stopped someone on the street and demanded to see their identification papers, that was supposed to let you know they were the *bad* guys.

ICE is a terrorist organization.

So what would have happened if he didn't yell that he was a citizen? What would have happened if they didn't listen? I'm begging the few useful Dems left to make this kidnapping shit news. If you can't convince Americans to be against kidnapping, then quit. We elected you to protect Americans.

this vainglorious vandal never saw anything beautiful he didn’t want to destroy

Thanks for your question, JP Mandel @jd-vance-1.bsky.social. Jose Padilla probably didn’t show up because you’d sic ICE on him, regardless of citizenship. Senator Alex @padilla.senate.gov probably didn’t show up because you’re a joke. Hope that helps. Now laugh yourself out of the building.

STORY TIME: ICE rolled up. The city of Bell, California said, “Not today!”

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
