ICE has begun raiding the homes of American citizens. A widely shared story out of Oklahoma describes a disturbing incident where a woman and her children were dragged into their yard half-naked. Reports are mounting across multiple states of agents targeting the wrong properties.

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?” - A guy walking ahead of me with his friends on a NYC sidewalk in 2021, also my favorite overheard dialogue of the entire pandemic

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Here's the lineup for tonight! WHERE: Harry S Truman Building 2201 C St NW *On the corner of C and 22nd* See you at 5:30!

it couldn't be more obvious they are preparing for eruptions this summer and a subsequent crackdown

Three U.S. Citizen Children, Including 4-Year-Old Battling 4th Stage Cancer, Deported to Honduras

Amazon’s CEO contributed just 0.4% of his taxable pay to Social Security last year. Meanwhile, Amazon’s median-paid worker contributed 6.2%. Amazon's workers paid a 15x higher rate of their taxable income into Social Security than their CEO. Scrap the cap.

Still growing in numbers! Way to go, everyone! Thank you to all involved keep making good trouble!

Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff for policy, has begun baselessly claiming that birthright citizenship is a massive welfare scam. Miller has previously endorsed a theory called “remigration” that refers to the forcible removal of non–ethnically European immigrants.

Could you ever have imagined you would see a headline like this in your lifetime

The cruelty and the stupidity is the point

The Justice Department quietly invoked the Alien Enemies Act last month, granting Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents the power to conduct warrantless searches of people’s homes based solely on suspicion that they are “alien enemies.”

If the government can arrest students for writing op-eds and hide records about it, we don't have a free press. We're demanding transparency on the abduction of Rümeysa Öztürk and why the administration ignored warnings of its unconstitutionality.

My blood is boiling. This is appalling. Andry, the makeup artist deported to Trump’s foreign prison in El Salvador - without due process and under false pretenses - hasn’t been heard from in weeks. Members of Congress who went to El Salvador asked for proof that he’s alive. This is a crisis.

Once you understand that their goal is to get women, LGBTQ folks and people of color out of public life, everything gets clearer. You should evaluate their *policy* proposals accordingly.

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

"Party of the working class."

Anyone debating or analyzing Kilmar Abrego Garcia's life or record is doing a grave disservice. He could be El Chapo. He could be Charles Manson. He could be the Dalai Lama. It doesn't matter. What has happened to him and others is clearly a violation of America's core laws and principles.

Good morning and happy Saturday. Ordering 30,000 real eggs to waste rolling down the lawn of the White House on a Christian holiday, during an egg shortage, after promising to lower the price of eggs, is the peak analogy of this administration. He spits in their faces and they moisturize with it.

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

BREAKING: A court ruled that our case challenging Rümeysa Öztürk's unlawful detention should move forward in Vermont, instead of Louisiana, and that ICE must transfer her there. Nobody should be shipped to a detention facility halfway across the country for writing an op-ed.

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships. The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

As a historian of eugenics, I can tell you that the "taxes" thing is straight up from sterilization eugenics. Not only that, it represents an even more extreme form of early 20thC. eugenics that I study: euthanasia eugenics. They are tax burdens therefore they shouldn't exist. 1/2

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

BREAKING: Days after a Louisiana judge ruled that the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil can proceed, thousands are holding an emergency Passover Seder at the ICE headquarters in New York City, saying: If you come for one, you face us all.

republicans are disappearing people under the guise of fighting antisemitism and can’t even pretend to give a fuck when a jewish governor’s house gets firebombed on passover

Huge fan of the memorialization to an old friend who just happens to be an inanimate coffee machine. There’s also a nostalgia for actual simple living here that defies new tech, “techy”kitchens, and routine skyrocketing subscription costs. Pour one out for Miss Ellen’s coffeemaker!

SAVE THE PENGUINS. STOP TRUMP’S TARIFFS.

Massive TDOV rally expected today from 4:00-6:00 at the National Mall between 3rd and 4th streets. Go there, I know many who will be there. Be with community and show your support for transgender people. www.dcnewsnow.com/news/local-n...

On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate Minnesota’s transgender community and recommit to standing up for our neighbors in the face of hatred. As your Governor, I’m proud to stand in this fight with you.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

This continues to be the biggest story in the country: DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars in 6 weeks. Not billion. half a trillion, $500 billion talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

"To put things into perspective: I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family and even politicians advocating for me. Yet, I was still detained for nearly two weeks. Imagine what this system is like for every other person in there."

NEW: A court ruled that the case challenging ICE's unlawful detention of Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil must be moved to New Jersey, instead of 1,400 miles away in Louisiana. This is good news, but we will continue fighting until Mahmoud is free.

Mahmoud Khalil finally gets the chance to speak for himself: “My arrest was a direct consequence of exercising my right to free speech as I advocated for a free Palestine and an end to the genocide in Gaza, which resumed in full force Monday night.”

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.
