This is a cover-up‼️ DHS is illegally trying to change the rules on congressional oversight visits to facilities to hide human rights abuses. “We know that they’re trying to hide all those abuses. That’s why it’s important that we can just get in at a moment’s notice.” – Rep. @gomez.house.gov

So much for MAHA.

The observance of Juneteenth calls us to recommit ourselves to the work of equity, equality, and justice. Each June 19, and especially today in Minnesota, we are reminded of our incredible capacity to heal, hope, and emerge from our darkest moments with purpose and resolve.

DHS wants 72 hours notice before inspections of detention facilities. Kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

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?

ICE looking more and more like the American Gestpo.

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...

Conserving our environment is an American value. From hikers to hunters we want to keep our public lands public! Thats why the unprecedented sell-off of millions of acres of public lands needs to be removed from the Senate Budget Bill. Nature is non partisan! 🇺🇸 Pass it on!

“A horrible display of waste… rotting fruits and vegetables… store after store closed… if the ice raids continue be ready for even bigger sticker shock when you go grocery shopping…” 🍎 🥕

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.

A true day of celebration! We reaffirm and rededicate ourselves to ensuring freedom and justice for all on this special day. #Juneteenth #DemocratsAbroad

So cringey.

E. Jean Carroll: This is a man who wears apricot makeup, with his hair twirled around his head like Barbara Stanwyck in Ball of Fire. I was so close—I heard almost every single thing he said. The farting—you wanted to know about that? It was a silent one… sort of.

This drum circle is a sacred honor in memory of slain MN State Legislator Melissa Hortman, at the candlelight vigil

Here is the LAPD telling ICE to GTFO of Dodger Stadium. The only reason they came was to start a riot. What they got was the boot. More of this, California.

Meiselas: And now, the little engine that could—the one people said could never happen—the MeidasTouch Network has hit 5 million subscribers, 33 million views every 48 hours, more views than Fox News and any cable news network… we are so grateful to share this moment with you all.

He looks like he would kill you with the sharpened bones of your children

There is no immigrant crime problem but there’s an enormous, unprecedented White House crime problem

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.

“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)

Repubs always argue like 4th graders.They don’t get that in America, the melting pot, you can’t tell ANYONE ‘if you don’t like it, go back where you came from.’ That’s their only response to intelligent concerns? ALL of us came here from somewhere else! Doy!! 🤯😜 www.thedailybeast.com/fox-news-bri...

Political violence must always be condemned.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

@smith.senate.gov: "I think [Mike Lee] was sort of stunned to be coming face to face with somebody who was really calling him out on his bullshit... The way that people like Mike Lee and others on the right take advantage of the worst kind of human tragedy and political violence... is unacceptable."

Okay. The world can see this. Why it so hard for 30% of Americans to continue holding out hope a leopard will change it's spots?

Wow! See the difference? Thank you for your service.

Congress should pass the bipartisan BARK Act, my bill to save millions of pounds of perfectly good pet food from the trash and get it to the growing population of hungry shelter dogs and cats. We can do this. Let’s get it done.

My company pays for a service called DeleteMe to get rid of our personal information on these types of sites. It's time for that to become a much more common practice in public-facing roles, imo.

Thank you @smith.senate.gov

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full emails below
