Miami just canceled its November election & pushed it to 2026. No public vote, just canceled. Mayor Suarez & Joe Carollo get to stick around an extra year. This feels like a power grab. If one city can delay elections for “participation,” what’s to stop others from doing it to silence opposition?

I’m choked up seeing this—it’s shameful. Iranian refugees got snatched by “immigration agents” dressed like bounty hunters in West LA’s Sawtelle neighborhood. We’re really about to send them back to a country we just bombed? A regime known for jailing, torturing, and killing its own people?

Imagine proudly calling something “alligator Alcatraz” when most of who you’re putting there committed no crime other than wanting a better life. DeSantis is gross. And cruelty is big business.

Birthright citizenship is “as close to a national self-definition as we have; it is our legal DNA,” David W. Blight argued in January. “One cannot overstate the gravity of Trump’s proposed action, nor the historical ignorance on which it stands.”

Always loved the people who are like, "But my ancestors came here the legal way!" and by that they mean they arrived via ratship to an island, a man asked them their name, they were like, "Uh, Jeff... Smith?" another guy said "sure?" and then they became permanent residents of the United States.

One thing you can guarantee will happen tomorrow is that somewhere in America, a gaggle of insecure white men will convince each other that escalation means they're powerful. Instead of acknowledging what WE see when men have no means to mitigate conflict: which is senseless emotional volatility.

If people really find this to be such an easy conclusion, then Congressional authority should be easy to get. So why don’t they insist on a vote? They know this isn’t “progressive” resistance. They want to marginalize it as such because on top of this war being ILLEGAL, it’s also deeply unpopular.

There was a survey a few weeks ago that found half of Americans thought ICE was just hunting criminals. The institutional press have failed to make clear ICE’s primary strategy today is capturing people through the use of compliance traps, and shipping them off to substandard prisons in the South.
