"In the video, agents who hid their faces with masks and sunglasses and traveled in marked border patrol vehicles, are informed they were on private property. “Excuse me, ma’am, listen to me, you are interfering with my arrest,” the agent said. “I am doing my job. You don’t have nothing to say.”"

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

As someone said prior, the only reason Greta got released is because people were very loud about her specifically. There are still 8 other flotilla members detained, apparently without fresh water in bedbug infested prison. They all deserve to be fought for, too.

This is a meaningless distinction. “Arrest” is from the French “arrêter,” to stop. If they can detain you for however long it takes a cop to show up, that is already functionally an arrest.

Months after arresting dozens of people and accusing them of being in a gang, the Trump Administration has provided no evidence to back up their claims. That’s really dangerous. In America, you’re not allowed to lock people up without proof. www.texastribune.org/2025/06/04/t...

This is the literally the same excuse Maura Healey used to defend the Worcester cops who helped ICE agents abduct a woman. Is Healey prepared to unleash the same police violence on her constituents as the LA mayor if ICE escalates things here? #mapoli newrepublic.com/article/1963...

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”
