"The town Select Board is reviewing claims the ICE processing center is being used as detention center against their zoning code by keeping detainees in inadequate conditions for longer than a few hours, as originally intended..." www.nbcboston.com/news/local/b...

A Harvard law professor of 50 years in Constitutional Law is telling you that, yes, it IS that bad. It's time for people to stop crying "alarmist" when the severity of the situation in the US is pointed out.

Reminder: Zohran is one of the few NYC mayoral candidates who is outright opposed to a mask ban

"Given the overaggressive and excessive force used to handcuff and detain elected officials in public, #DHS 's refusal to allow members of Congress to observe the conditions for immigrants behind closed doors begs the obvious question: What are you hiding?" www.rawstory.com/kristi-noem-...

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

Donald Trump preaches about bringing manufacturing back to the U.S. while peddling his new phones made in China. Hypocrisy at its finest.

NY taxpayers already have paid $19 million for Cuomo’s legal bills in numerous charges against him. He should not be anywhere near public office again!

This is a great idea of using Zoom to appear in court. Pass it on.

This is horse shit. How can they defy the law like this with no consequence? This has to change, and change quickly. They need to understand that there is oversight and that they will be held accountable.

The hypocrisy of Netanyahu’s government is astounding. Israel politicians are furious that Iran has struck a hospital - as though Is. didn’t deliberately target and/or destroy every hospital in Gaza. Note: hospitals NEVER should be targets.

Iran hasn’t started a war in over 200 years. Israel has invaded or attacked every one of its neighbors — Egypt (1956, 1967), Lebanon (1978, 1982, 2006), Syria (Golan Heights, near-daily airstrikes), Jordan (1967). It still occupies Palestine & is engaged in a bloody genocide.

At Columbia University: If you have a social media page, make sure it is not filled with commentary on the Middle East.  You are not allowed to disagree with the government. There is no free speech in America.

Trump is a liar or his team tell him what he wants to hear...

Yet another reason Cuomo is unfit for public office.

Can someone in immigration law explain to me how this is legal?

GUARDIAN: “As 2 of the last analysts from an 🇺🇸 think tank to visit Iran, just 3 weeks ago - their negotiating team were eager to work out a deal… high-level foreign ministry officials expressed concern about a spoiling effort by Netanyahu…” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Reupping: Brad Lander and Ras Baraka have 3 things in common: 1) Both are suing Kristi Noem 2) Noem's goons conducted pre-mediated arrests of both 3) Before an election www.emptywheel.net/2025/06/18/r...

Previous US administrations prevented Netenyahu pursuing his lunatic plans. This one has been utterly humiliated by him, having to play catch up with an actor it cannot control or condemn. What we're seeing here is the reality of US decline.

This is a CIRCUS 🎪 full of CLOWNS 🤡 Trump’s VETTER hasn’t been VETTED. 🚫 SERGIO GOR, Director of PERSONNEL, hasn’t SUBMITTED his own BACKGROUND INFORMATION necessary for a SECURITY CLEARANCE. 😳 His friends say he was born in RUSSIA, and enrolled in college with the surname GOROKHOVSKY. 🚩

NEW: A ProPublica investigation found that for more than a decade, the FDA gave substandard factories banned from the United States a special pass to keep sending drugs to an unsuspecting public.

LAPD shoves an unhoused woman to the ground so hard her skull cracks open and she’s knocked unconscious. They then carry her to the curb, prop her up and abandon her. Witnesses took her to the ER.

Let's be clear: this is a red state healthcare executive telling people that rural red states will be gutted. “The further the cuts that are made, the more devastating it is,” said Shantel Krebs, president and CEO of Avera St. Mary’s, a hospital in South Dakota. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

If you watch one thing tonight, let it be this. This is delicious.

Former U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler is the head of Trump’s Small Business Administration. She also appears on Newsmax often, without disclosing that she owns 136,555 shares worth of stock in the company. Those shares are valued at nearly $2 million. fortune.com/2025/06/11/k...

I cant believe this is really happening everyday and no one is moving a finger to stop it!🤬🤬🤬🤬😪

You can't arrest people without warrants, you can't arrest people for asking to see a warrant and you can't bar reporters you don't like from City Hall press conferences This concludes today's lesson in Civics in The City

A reminder that Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the Iran nuclear deal on May 8, 2018 during his first term. The irony that he’s screeching about making a deal now is lost on MAGA.
