If you’re an American should watch the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown ep on Iran. A deeply humanizing look at a country full of people just like you and me. I watched it after Anthony died and it moved in ways that are hard to relay. I also immediately ran out to try kabob koobideh and tahdig.

The 1973 War Powers Act and the Constitution both give Congress—not the president—the power to declare war. Trump conveniently forgot that when he ordered strikes on Iran this weekend. Here's what to know, from @juliannemcshane.bsky.social: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

KTLA: “I have no doubt it’s racially motivated.” A US citizen in the parking lot of a Home Depot was tackled to the ground, detained, locked up for 24 hours for filming ICE smashing a man’s window. He plans to sue. (From @keithboykin)

These are not police. By law, they have to identify. If they won’t—copy their plates, call the actual police and let them know you are witnessing armed police impersonators.

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

The ICE "agents" aren't agents. They're bounty hunters who've been deputized. That's why they don't wear uniforms and or provide ID. They get paid $1k-$2k per person. This is state-sanctioned. human trafficking and kidnapping.

"Texas has been violating federal law for decades by sequestering individuals with severe disabilities in poorly run nursing homes without offering them alternative living options and services in the community, a federal judge has ruled." Sounds like Texas.🤷‍♀️ www.rawstory.com/texas-nursin...

CBP is holding children in harsh, jail-like conditions for prolonged periods of time. One toddler was separated from her father and held with her mother at a border facility for 42 days. Children belong with their families at home — not in detention.

Ted Cruz "hates communists" because Cuban President Fulgencio Batista, who was not a communist, imprisoned and tortured Cruz's father for helping Fidel Castro, who was a communist and who freed Cruz's father from the non-communist prison. Proving, once again, that Cruz speaks absolute rubbish.

Russ Vought keeps threatening "pocket rescissions” — an illegal scheme to withhold funds approved by Congress. Republicans in Congress might as well tear up Article 1 and go home if they don't fight back, but they can’t claim surprise. Here's Vought telling me he's willing to break the law:

ICE agents point what looks like a firearm at civilians who are recording their attempt to detain someone from inside of their car. The video which was posted to a Facebook group at around 11 A.M. showed the agents on Bristol and McFadden outside of Maria Market. ~ @janettev.bsky.social

“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)

If we can shoot at protestors who are armed because they "might be a mass shooter" every single one of these should be an open target. Cops are supposed to label themselves so you know you aren't being attacked by marauders. It is reasonable to assume they are there to harm people. So open fire.
