“Show us your papers.” Who would attend the World Cup in this atmosphere?

According to their immigration attorney, 5 of the 6 had their paperwork and work permits in order, nowhere close to expired. No criminal records. They got rounded up anyway.

This is THE question ...

Every word of this.

His party shrugging off Trump sending a violent mob at them but play acting civilization’s fall over a burning Waymo is a new cuck level achieved.

When do we get to call a coup a coup?

Gosh. Who could have seen THIS coming?

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Wow.

This cannot be shared enough. There WILL be agents provocateurs. You can bet on it. Don’t take the bait and FFS, don’t join in. SIT DOWN. XO/A Grizzled Veteran of the Anti-nuke and Antiwar movements of the ‘60s and ‘70s.

THIS The LAPD is unleashed and certain they can do ANYTHING with impunity. Is there going to be any accountability for this or just 🤷‍♀️?

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

"In our federal system, the National Gov. possesses only limited powers; the States and the people retain the remainder. The States have broad authority to enact legislation for the public good—what we have often called a 'police power.' The Fed. Gov., by contrast, has no such authority."-SCOTUS '14

SWAT shoot at a woman for filming them.

He’s at it again 🤣🤣

Minnie Cat gets it ...

I do wish they'd be proudly waving the American flag. It's OUR freedom of speech and OUR right to due process. The far right doesn't own our flag and we need to proudly reclaim it and -- again -- not give them any more fodder for making up nonsense about the protests.

It doesn't get a lot more repulsive than this ... I mean, I'm sure it can and probably will, but this is definitely in taking-the-cake territory.

I rarely use all caps because I don’t want to be that old white person, but … NOW IS THE TIME!!! Especially those of you in red states, you MUST call, write, visit your senators and vigorously oppose this travesty. Please watch and heed: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjbn7Rg2/

So are we just teaching our kids they have to obey anyone with a mask and an unmarked car and an oddly-fitting vest and zip ties now and go with them? Is this where we’re at?

Let us pause in all the madness and get down, get fonky...

Anyone else wondering how they'll manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of this victory? @housedemocrats.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

"We cannot build bananas in America" is an all timer

Nailed it.
