They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court. This is not deportation. This is ethnic cleansing.

Just the right response to today’s outrageous Supreme Court decision letting Trump strip Americans of their birthright citizenship ⬇️

Nothing says climate policy like skipping brunch and hoping the sky notices.

Indeed. What a horrible thing for ICE to do to Lady Liberty for being so compassionate to immigrants.

Charlie Kirk. What a weird guy. 🤣🤣

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

DoD and NOAA ending access to real time satellite microwave data that weather forecasters consider crucial for determining how quickly hurricanes intensify. www.ospo.noaa.gov/data/messag...

Stripping birthright citizenship from people born in this country goes against rights guaranteed in the Constitution. We must stand against unconstitutional actions and stand up for the fundamental rights granted to people in the United States of America.

Christian Nationalism is religious rule, too.

Today's decision previews a dystopian reality where a lawless President can dispense with the Constitution to deprive American children of their rights. And whether these kids have the right to defend themselves now depends on the state in which they live. That is un-American and wrong.

Mark and Melissa lie peacefully at the center of our state and our hearts today. Their memorial, guarded by service dogs and men and women in uniform, casts a momentary shadow over L'Étoile du Nord as we honor their life’s work to make Minnesota shine brighter for all.

Last week, Thomas was escorted onto a plane with his wrists and ankles shackled, he says. He arrived in Jamaica, a country he’d never been to, a stateless man. www.austinchronicle.com/daily/news/2...

Kenneth Chesebro, the lawyer who helped orchestrate the fake elector scheme to overturn the 2020 election, has been permanently disbarred in New York.

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

Trump has now gone after four law firms and lost all four times www.cbsnews.com/news/judge-s...

They think they're in Iraq. This is insane.

Maybe next time, don’t tweet pregame military strategy like it’s a WWE promo.

In response to RFK loading up the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee with anti-vaxxers, medical societies, local health departments, and advocacy groups are working to preserve vaccine access by ordering vaccines directly from manufacturers and emphasizing vaccine guidance from medical associations.

Emil Bove, like Stephen Miller, looks like the sort of person who keeps a paraplegic in a storage looker so he can let off steam by torturing them.

Exposing Stephen Miller - the ghoulish Homeland Security adviser - who owns up to $250,000 in assets at Palantir, which stands to make millions off of Trump's immigration crackdown. @newrepublic.com: tinyurl.com/e8u2bhsd

Exactly

On balance, I was more comfortable with Fox employees lying about wars than running them.

Shameful. I expect they will be sued.👇 "Nearly 100,000 North Carolina voters will be required to take an additional step to verify their identity or risk being disenfranchised under a plan approved by the GOP-controlled state board of elections Tuesday." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Phang: Vance Boelter received better treatment when taken into custody than Narciso Barranco—a Mexican immigrant working at IHOP, landscaping in the parking lot under the hot sun on a Saturday—who was beaten by Border Patrol agents.

This image is now absolutely everywhere over European media lmao

Phang: If you were scrolling on social media and saw a dog locked up in the middle of the Everglades—in the sun, in the heat, in the humidity—the outrage would be wild, wouldn’t it? But then—we’re okay with human beings being treated like that?

They’re lying about Medicaid cuts. They’re lying about the deficit increase. They’re lying about what they accomplished in Iran. They lie about everything. It is just a nonstop torrent of lies intended to flood the zone with propaganda.

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

"At Downey Memorial Christian church on Thursday, officers reportedly arrested a man in the parking lot then pointed a gun at senior pastor Tanya Lopez..." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“ICE in just a few weeks has transformed itself into the closest thing that the US has ever had to a ‘secret police,’ with more seemingly culturally in common with the Klan nightriders of Reconstruction than their federal agency brethren like the FBI or ATF.” @garrettgraff.bsky.social

While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Conditions in ICE facilities are traditionally horrid. Why should today be any different.

Members of Congress are being denied access to an ICE facility in Manhattan, because the conditions inside are that bad.

Move the Olympics and World Cup now! This country does not deserve them, and it will only serve as a platform for the Felon to further embarrass us on the world stage.

The NYC Bar Association views with alarm ICE agents wearing masks when conducting detentions and arrests. This comes at a time when their actions are the subject of numerous legal challenges, and a public outcry vehemently opposing unlawful detentions and emphasizing the need for due process.

The at home assassination of a state lawmaker should be getting a bigger reaction from the President than someone throwing a rock at a Tesla dealership.

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.

"Peace president."

He hates working people. He hates veterans. Face it, he hates everyone.

Happy Juneteenth

New Orleanians. Our time has come.

They look like terrorists.

The ones who started the disinformation campaigns and started MAGA are the same ones who are out to destroy it. It’s rather entertaining! 🍿

No, I do not feel safe with masked vigilantes swarming our streets!
