I don't feel sorry for these Gestapo, er, ICE officers but I do feel sorry for that eight migrants stuck in there with them during over 100-degree temperatures. Trump doesn't care about ANY of these people! www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-of...

My wife does this stuff, too. BROADWAY REVIVAL, by Laura Frankos, sends a time traveler from 2079 back to 1934 to save George Gershwin from brain cancer...and changes the Great White Way forever. It's Broadway musical theatre alt hist! www.amazon.com/Broadway-Rev...

Scenes like this were DIRECTLY caused by Stephen Miller's wailing that ICE can't arrest the number of people he promised they would arrest (bc he lied abt how many criminal aliens there are).

Bondi DOJ has a problem. On left: DOJ Indictment and Detention Memo allege Abrego Garcia lied to officer by not revealing he was coming from Texas On right: DHS Referral Report: "Subject stated he was driving 'three days ago' (11/27/2022) from Houston, TX to Temple Hills, MD (via St Louis, MO)"

Chief of Nashville, criminal division resigns over decision to charge Abrego Garcia. That’s a big story and the details will likely be very damning for the administration.

🤬🤬 Yeah I’m pretty fricken ENRAGED on tonight’s OShow about Ford taking off for another zillion days to escape accountability. That’s not what a “protector” does… Or someone who cares about the people they are paid to serve. #CanadaSky #Ontario #ON #Cndpoli #ONpoli youtu.be/sNOXKXrsegI?si…

Fuck off, Ro.

ICE waited until a woman’s lawyer went to the restroom then dragged her away. She fainted from stress and they dragged her unconscious body into the elevator, refusing medical attention.

Heavily-armed DHS paramilitary forces in military vehicles fired dozens of stun grenades at a crowd of onlookers today in Los Angeles.

Federal agents attack press and protesters with pepper balls at DTLA’s federal building during protests against ICE arrests. @shoton35mm.bsky.social reporting on the scene.

live from the huge spontaneous anti-ICE protest after the agency used military-style tactics during a series of raids in Los Angeles today.

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

I still think this is one of the most gutting notes I’ve ever read.

well, I didn't know that and now I am just a notch more excited about my favorite cheese.

81 years ago today, America struck a blow against fascism Who knew that fascism was playing the long game?

Let's not forget all the regulations and investigations into Elmo's business interests he was able to quash over the last 5 months. That's in addition to all the additional very lucrative contracts he gave himself.

Jessica Ramos is endorsing Andrew Cuomo. She once publicly complained that AOC didn’t return her text during the January 6th insurrection.

Was I wrong?

Any US booksellers out there have access to Ingram’s internal system and want to check some book sales and stock figures for me? I don’t want to deluge the friend who’s helping us authors out

History. It Matters.

Crimean Telegram channels post a video of a huge line of trucks at Chonhar control point on the way to Russian-occupied Crimea According to them,trucks are currently denied entry on the Kerch bridge. While entering Crimea,each truck reportedly goes through an extensive search, probably for drones.

ICYMI: Yesterday, when speaking to Merz at the Oval, Trump compared the war in Ukraine to a children’s brawl, saying it is sometimes better to let children “fight for a while” before “pulling them apart.”

If only the New York Times had made this big of a deal in December 2022 when Trump called for “termination” of the Constitution. (That ran on Page 13. Yes, Page 13.)

Eid Mubarak all!
