"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

This administration will twist facts...dodge questions...and smear reputations....anything to avoid saying the one honest thing about Kilmar Abrego Garcia: “We were wrong.” The arrogance is staggering...and the damage they’re doing to justice is unforgivable.

This election cycle, I want to see some accountability for these house members who don't read what they vote for. The media is reading them, for fuck's sake. They have no excuse for not doing their jobs. Someone else needs to be doing them better.

lol wtf

We must stand up against this regime / administration and it’s illegal activities‼️ Masked federal agents dressed like soldiers on the streets of America

ICE agents are Gestapo. They act on behalf inhumanity, racism and cruelty, not constitutional duty or law and order. I hope they are protested against in every city they enter.

By the way a military parade when we’re not celebrating a war victory is something a dude who never served would do.

Too many families across North Carolina are impacted by gun violence, and we all have a role to play in making our communities safer, including practicing responsible gun ownership.

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

Busy SCOTUS day for democracy: ⚖️Alabama appealed congressional redistricting (again). ⚖️Mississippi asked SCOTUS to decide on late mail ballots. ⚖️The Court denied RNC cert petition in PA undated ballots.

"That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy." - Robert Reich #TaxBillionaires

“Glad I didn’t have to bring up the Tooth Fairy,” you said, standing in a f-ing cemetery, wearing your Sunday smug, smirking like you just solved poverty by smothering it with a pillow. I stopped mid-wingbeat. A bicuspid fell out of my sack. A raccoon stared at me. We both whispered, what the fuck?”

Trump appointed a drug dealer to be the prison deputy director. Yam tits pardoned the drug trafficker the first time he occupied our White House.

So are we just teaching our kids they have to obey anyone with a mask and an unmarked car and an oddly-fitting vest and zip ties now and go with them? Is this where we’re at?

Good morning rebels...

You've just employed a 22 year old gardener as your anti terrorist chief and you want NATO to share military intel with you on signal?

Today marks D-Day—June 6, 1944—when one of history’s most heroic efforts began. Thousands stormed the beaches of Normandy to fight tyranny and defend freedom. A powerful reminder of the courage that shaped the world we live in. We remember.

You could not pay me to drive one

These men deserve a parade. Not the current occupant of the White House.

How much are they paying ICE agents for each person they deport? I know they’re evil and would do it anyway, but I’m just saying, I watched some videos and got a feeling about the way they try to SNATCH as many people as possible…it feels like a bounty system is in place.

Trump's culture wars and public spats with his former billionaire buddy provide cover for the most corrupt and self-dealing presidential administration in American history.

HAPPENING NOW: Protesters flood the streets of Downtown Los Angeles after the American Gestapo (ICE) conducted a kidnapping operation earlier today in the area (Video: Anthony Cabassa)

MIKE JOHNSON: From the people who mandated mask wearing for years, it's absurd. They need to back off ICE & respect our agents Q: So you're ok w/agents not identifying themselves when they're arresting migrants? J: Why, so they can target them? So they can put names and faces online and dox them?

“Animals don't behave like men,' he said. 'If they have to fight, they fight; and if they have to kill they kill. But they don't sit down and set their wits to work to devise ways of spoiling other creatures' lives and hurting them. They have dignity and animality.” Watership Down Art Lyndsey Green

Might be some of that weaponization of government that I’ve been hearing about.

Happening now! “It is so important for us to hold the administration accountable. Otherwise, these men will die in El Salvador. This is what we fear. Today is Day 83. Every day that Andry is in that prison, is a day that he could lose his life.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=DO0f...

The Incompetence Is Believable!

That’s an oldie but a goodie. @wsj.com www.wsj.com/world/russia...

Law Professor @rgoodlaw.bsky.social catches DOJ in a contradiction in the Abrego Garcia case. A major one.

Good morning to everyone except those who are messing with the VA and veterans benefits! @unite4vets.bsky.social

But this would require recipients working full time for an employer who actually offers healthcare benefits. So the plan will kick millions off of ALL healthcare.

So after Kilmar Abrego Garcia was deliberately sent to a deadly El Salvador mega prison by the MAGA regime, he has been brought back to the United States only to face fake criminal charges from the MAGA regime so that they can have a “win.” Reeks of racism and coverup.

⚠️Brutality & depravity- ICE raids were reported in multiple locations in LA (with the FBI’s help). This ICE/FBI driver didn’t stop for a protester who stepped in front of the car. They accelerated then drove around the injured person. They didn’t even stop & render aid! #StopICE #LA @abc7la IG

I learned so much from Renee Ferguson. She made countless lives better through her brilliant investigative journalism—as well as her mentorship of young people looking to make a difference.

The appointment of Thomas Fugate, a 22-year-old with no national security expertise, to oversee the Department of Homeland Security's Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships (CP3) is deeply concerning. Text SIGN PRKKXJ to 50409 or go to: resist.bot/petitions/PR... @resist.bot #resist

Chaos erupts at a US Federal Courthouse as ICE apprehends a man moments after his immigration hearing

This brutality and attack on workers, Los Angeles, and California will not go without a response rooted in people power, our shared humanity, and unshakeable solidarity.

🚨BREAKING: Mississippi is asking the Supreme Court to uphold its mail-in ballot grace period. Mississippi is fighting back against a challenge from the RNC to strike down the law. Depending on how SCOTUS rules, it could change how over a dozen states conduct elections. Paige and I discuss.
