Did Dedra Meero write that post?

Philly local tv station reporting that a man allegedly posed as an ICE agent in order to rob a car repair business office. How many other criminals might be getting this idea right now, given that actual ICE agents are refusing to show IDs, warrants, badges?

The Secretary of Defense just threatened to use Marines from Camp Pendleton against Los Angeles

An imbecile's attempt at math.

Tribal college leaders said they were stunned by the proposed cuts to their already insufficient funding and had more questions than answers. “It’s a dagger, and I don’t know how we can survive these types of cuts,” one college president said. By @mattkrupnick.bsky.social

Wait wait wait wait the "Hitler was right about one thing" and "victory for white life" lady did a bigotry? I refuse to believe it

lmao every tough guy wants to dress like a soldier and be treated like a soldier. none of them want to spend days shitting themselves in a shipping crate while someone fires rockets at them in the distance this isn't exactly what they deserve but it's pretty funny

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged the government was arming factions in the Gaza Strip to combat Hamas, after accusations from an opposition politician. From @jimbohider.bsky.social and @danielestrin.bsky.social

President Trump's travel ban on a dozen countries includes Afghanistan. Since American troops left in August of 2021, many Afghans have already arrived in the U.S. but many more are still waiting.

Already saw at least one Dem Congressman making the same point about denaturalization and just begging, begging people not to descend to the level of calling for stripping the citizenship of people you don't like.

At the time ICE tweeted it was NOT a birthday party so of course it was, I suppose?

Here is just a snippet of the latest filings in the Samantha Ricks case (sov cit and QAnon). She's demanding $10 billion from the OK State Treasurer

The Solicitor General of the Dept. of Labor is responsible for enforcing labor laws. Who is Trump’s pick for the position? The author of Project 2025’s labor chapter — which called for gutting labor laws, limiting OT pay, and weakening unions. The “pro-worker” president...

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

⚠️ For those unfamiliar with the term “remigration,” it does not only mean deportation of undocumented immigrants but also the expulsion of non-white people to the country of their racial or ethnic ancestral origin without regard to their citizenship, legal status, or place of birth.

Am I crazy or did we just have a convo about how we can't fund cancer research?

Today Grok questioned MTG's Christianity and she demanded to speak to the manager of the AI bot. I've been chuckling all day. This story is HYSTERICAL.

The $150 billion to DHS, which includes over $71 billion for ICE, will transform the agency into something new in U.S. history; the tendrils of federal law enforcement extending into every community in the country on a daily basis, simultaneously more visible and less accountable than ever.

“The leader of an eastern European neo-Nazi group has been extradited to the United States from Moldova following his arrest last summer for allegedly instructing an undercover federal agent to dress as Santa Claus and hand out poisoned candy to Jewish children and racial minorities.”

Authoritarianism is here. 🇺🇸

The country with the most sophisticated intelligence capabilities in the world, and the president is holding up "a months-old blog post" from an obscure, conspiracy-mongering site "featuring a photo from the Democratic Republic of Congo" while making allegations against South Africa to its president

"The  easiest way, logistically, (to detain more immigrants) is just go after people who are following the rules. They’re the easiest to just snatch up when they come into the office,” @austinkocher.com told @nickjudin.bsky.social.

The Director of the FBI is openly lying to the American public about Canada being a major source of fentanyl. In the first three months of 2025, a grand total of 1.35 lbs of fentanyl was seized by border officials at our border with Canada — 0.06% of total seizures.

Ol' #ScrewyLewie making specific threats against NexRad in Norman, OK due to tornados. 🤦‍♀️ Someone needs to lock him up already. Lordy.

“Historically, when left to their own devices, states don’t necessarily do the right thing for kids with disabilities and their families,” a former director at the federal Office of Special Education Programs said. With @idahostatesman.com

Prices are rising nationwide and Trump’s gaslighting everyone about why. His tariffs and failed policies are driving costs up. He’s spent $200 billion more in his first 100 days than the same period last year, delivering less to Americans at a greater cost.
