@bradlander.bsky.social: "I was in a DHS detention for about 3.5 hours... I'm going to sleep at home in my bed tonight, safe with my family. But at Edgardo, who I was trying to accompany, he is in ICE detention. God knows where he's going to sleep tonight. And who knows what state."

Schatz: People are seeing what chaos really looks like. We are on the brink of some very dangerous developments in the Middle East, and we have chaos inside the US—not chaos the federal government can’t control, but chaos the federal government is, in some instances, precipitating or making worse.

Melissa Hortman was only 55 years old. She had a lot more to do. It is so bitter and so sad that her life was taken - assassinated for fighting for what she believed in. It will now be up to us to carry on these fights.

ICE is using racial profiling and it was completely predictable. ICE (basically): “If they’re brown…we’ll hunt them down!”

A thing that a lot of people (including me) find frustrating about law and civil rights litigation -- it's inherently reactive. It can't stop bad shit from happening, it can't really undo bad shit. It can maybe get the bad shit to stop, and maybe get you money after the bad shit happened.

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan. We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised. That’s how democracy should function.

“Running the government like a business” is just another way of saying that we should privatize government services afforded to everyone. You know who would love that? Wall Street and big corporations. Don’t buy into the myth. https://youtu.be/hqn1uD_B70U?si=aClsRAYTJHYGXpB4

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

NBC Interview with Gavin Newsom. He lays it on the line and slams Trump on everything from the illegal take over of the national guard to tariffs and is not holding back. This is how Dems need to handle Trump.

It seems pretty obvious that ICE is at Home Depots in California specifically at the request of Stephen Miller. (Whom I can attest is a major league asshole.) Right now, it's the Miller Doctrine. Let's pray it doesn't turn into the Miller Massacre.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

I am a veteran, so I don’t say this without first having thought about it: I am utterly disgusted with the members of the National Guard who are participating in this deployment in Los Angeles. You aren’t being the “patriots” you believe yourselves to be.
