When they can’t deport people fast enough, they’ll figure out alternative ways to get rid of them. The holocaust started with deportations and citizenship stripping. It’s not new. #3E

ICE Detention centres - Brought to you by people who claim to be Pro-Life! Sister Joan Chittister was right.

#LosAngeles #ICE #Cudahy ⬇️ Shit like this is exactly why Mayor of Cudahy calls for more people in our protests. People are dying & OUR Children are scarred. We need ALL hands on deck for #Resist & uniting our Communities for the common good. #BlockParty

Dems Decry GOP's $15 Billion Rural Hospital Fund as Sick Joke Compared to $800 Billion in Medicaid Cuts www.commondreams.org/news/gop-meg...

He didn't really say that though. That might be what they heard, but that's not what he was saying. And we VERY OFTEN hear what we want to hear from politicians rather than what they are saying. Especially if we like them.

“Is there any sign of life?” “Have we heard a heartbeat?” “Does she feel any kicking?” “We don’t have the equipment to do that.” That’s the full 911 audio from a nurse inside an ICE detention center near Denver, calling for help as a four-months-pregnant woman bled and cried out in pain.

Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!

Corporate profits have hit record highs. CEOs are paid 290x as much as a typical worker. We're subsidizing huge corporations that pay lousy wages through food stamps and Medicaid. But instead of cracking down on corporate greed, Republicans want to punish the working poor.

Warren Accuses Bisignano of Misleading Public on Social Security Call Wait Times in Wake of DOGE Cuts www.commondreams.org/news/warren-...

Statistically and clinically accurate!!!!! Ive met many sex offenders as a therapist, co- led a group made up of people who were on probation for that specifically where we focused on staying out of jail and prosocial stuff. None of the people i met were part of the LGBTQ+ community.

As we (democracy-loving Americans) have been saying, this racist, rapist, fascist, MAGA regime feels it can now target anyone - including us, simply because they don't want us here. They can't tolerate dissent, or democracy. www.newsweek.com/house-republ...

Every single Democratic elected who represents NYC should be proudly endorsing Zohran Mamdami, who won the primary fair & square. They should be helping him however he & his team ask. If they mealy-mouth it or, worse, stand with Cuomo, *they* will be why people hate the party.

Walmart and Home Depot have decided to cooperate with ICE. 🤬 Both companies are allowing ICE agents to come onto their premises to arrest innocent shoppers. If you weren’t boycotting them before, you can add them to your list!!

Certainly close enough to the real truth!

NEWS: In Newsom v. Trump, Judge Breyer finds that he has jurisdiction to consider a preliminary injunction based on Posse Comitatus Act grounds — and grants California’s request for discovery on that issue.

BREAKING: Emil Bove - whose judicial confirmation hearing is tomorrow - told lawyers to tell the courts to “fuck off” if they ordered the planes to El Salvador to turn around - per whistleblower Erez Reuveni. Gift article: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/u...

Every time

Meanwhile, DOJ actually filed a brief in Maryland on Wednesday — the day after the whistleblower letter — arguing that Judge Xinis shouldn’t sanction the gov’t in Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s case. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The sixth set of Byrd droppings is out and WOW - huge and COSTLY loss for Republicans. Loan repayment changes can only be for new borrowers, and they lost on CSRs, can’t add new Hyde language, plus other stuff. By my rough calculations, this just cost Republicans $150 billion or more of their cuts

Governor Newsom: California is the fourth largest economy in the world BECAUSE of immigrants.

Nobody knew ending a war was so hard....... duhh.

Dumb as a tRump as a stump 🪵.

Correct. A large dose of humility should be a requirement to qualify for a Nobel Prize.

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

What is especially devastating is that there is not a single vaccine-related issue where RFK Jr. isn't flat-out wrong. COVID and pregnant women? Wrong. Completely wrong. Measles? Lethally, disgracefully, shamefully, ignorantly, arrogantly wrong.

WATCH: “What about the rich? Do they get shot? It’s like they’re making Wall Streeters walk out onto the ice in the East River… class warfare… eat the rich.” @cnbc.com hosts Joe Kernen & jim cramer hilariously struggle to process Zohran’s win — made inevitable by the greed they exalt.

Meanwhile, there are two separate reports in my area of a masked man brandishing a gun at people and the police said they won’t take it further because he is probably ICE

The Republican Big Ugly Budget kills: 11k+ with Medicaid cuts 18k+ by ending Medicare Savings Program for Rx ~9k by cutting ACA tax credits 13k from nursing home staffing cuts All preventable if less than even a handful of Rs vote no in the Senate or House. www.scrippsnews.com/politics/hea...

I’m 80 1/2 they already cut my food stamps from $200 (when I got evicted cause of a crook lawyer) to 95 to 65 and that’s before they start making new cuts if they cut my Social Security by $1 and my Medicare I am literally going to die on the street. It’s all I have and licensing my footage.

Literally what could possibly go wrong?!? Also, a head injury suffered in c. 2007 has caused me to forget everything that happened before then.

Trump is singling out a woman reporter on social media less than two weeks after one of his supporters killed Melissa Hortman and her husband and her dog. This insanity needs to stop.

Elderly and disabled people told Congress that cutting Medicaid could kill people and in response, they were arrested in their wheelchairs. What the hell are we doing?

As a New York Jew all I want is a fucking mayor who can keep my train from going express two stops before mine so I have to walk an extra ten blocks in 95 degree heat after a shitty workday and doesn’t think I owe allegiance to a foreign country.

BREAKING: We are suing Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman over his unlawful unlawful 287(g) agreement with ICE, which gives Nassau police the authority to stop, question, and arrest any resident they believe is in the U.S. illegally. This agreement is in blatant defiance of state law.

This is no way at all to treat one's elders who helped make the country into a great nation. How can these police manage to sleep at night? Would they do this if it was the own parent? 😡

This is the slippery slope New reporting on use of federalized National Guard in what appears like DEA-led drug bust, no protesters in sight, far outside of LA @lizagoitein.bsky.social has very sharp analysis on why this appears illegal on all counts (including Trump’s own presidential memorandum)

SCHIFF: Would it ever be appropriate for the DOJ to tell the court, 'We're gonna ignore your order' ARTAU: I mean, Abraham Lincoln did that with the Dred Scott case SCHIFF: I'm hoping we're not gonna be going back the Civil War

If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?

MERKLEY: How do you feel about being responsible for hundreds of thousands of kids dying because of your sudden interruption in these key programs? VOUGHT: I reject the assertion MERKLEY: I find your response both ignorant & callous. Few Americans have had a more devastating & disastrous impact

🧵 Oh my Ohio peeps…. They are doing you so damn dirty. First, you keep voting for referendums that the GOP then tries to overturn in the legislature. Then, they do this. All y’all need to call & demand that they not do this!!! Call each Ohio state rep & senators and demand that they listen to you!

Corporate greed is the only reason why the United States doesn't have universal health care...

A federal judge in Tennessee just denied the government’s request to keep Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia locked up while it appeals his release. Judge Waverly D. Crenshaw Jr. upheld the magistrate’s order to free Abrego Garcia,

The Trump regime would like you to please hand over all your private information and communications to the dictatorship so they can vet your loyalty to the regime before you visit the US. If loyalty is not confirmed, you will be abducted on arrival and shipped off to El Salvador.

Trump threatens to destroy Spain's economy because they won't bend the knee to his demands: "Oh, I think Spain is terrible, what they've done ... that economy could be blown right out of the water with something bad happening."
