We are concerned about reports of what has transpired at Delaney Hall this evening, ranging from withholding food and poor treatment, to uprising and escaped detainees," Newark Mayor Ras Baraka said in a statement late Thursday.

History will not be kind to Speaker Johnson. Nor should it be.

1971, Oakland, CA. The Black Panthers & The Dead. God knows how Donald Trump would react to this...

I continue to be categorically opposed to the targeting of civilians with violent force.

Think of ICE as one of those crooked Florida police departments in small towns that pulls over *thousands* of drivers on I-95 for *any* reason to meet quotas for tickets. Stephen Miller has given ICE quotas for arrests and they will meet those quotas whether the arrestees deserve it or not.

Trump scrambling for a nuclear arms treaty with Iran when TRUMP canceled the nuclear arms treaty with Iran. #DUMBASS 😎✨

A Google Cloud outage caused problems for everyone from Spotify to Cloudflare, but now it’s getting fixed.

Friendly reminder. Please don’t forget to check on your weather machines.

God, Microsoft is a strange company: did you know it's the biggest listed company in the world? Bigger than any oil company, bigger than Apple, almost as big as Google and Facebook *combined*. Imagine telling anyone in 2007 (when it was widely agreed "Microsoft is dead") that would be the case…

Kristi Noem has that rare ability to shoot her dog in the face and it *still* not be the worst thing she ever did in her sorry, lying life.

TACO got booed then this happened last night 🤣🤣

Says it all

With these risk laden rogue attacks, on top of Gaza, this one man, Netanyahu, has so unfortunately sealed Israel’s fate as a nation, placing it on the road to forever war and pariah state in perpetuity with an extreme lack of concern about the futures of all Israeli citizens. #resist

So Kristi Noem goes on Fox and lies that Sen Padilla didn’t ID himself, even though the video is there for all to see. But get what she’s saying: Assaulting and handcuffing someone for trying to ask a question is OK in any case? This is a criminal regime.

Listen to this great American. This nation is privileged to have a man of this character in the United States Senate. Thank you @padilla.senate.gov. We stand with you.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace. And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

“What Senator Alex Padilla did today was political theater.” --Kristi Noem, the Head of Costuming, Hair, and Makeup at Political Theater

You know who didn't identify themselves? The thugs who assaulted Senator Padilla.

I honestly think it’s time for some Dems to start dropping f-bombs. On national television. Let’s start acting like the crisis this is

A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference. But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

#ProudBlue CoreCivic (NYSE: CXW) and GEO Group (NYSE: GEO) are both US government contractors. They operate correctional and detention facilities for ICE. Wonder why ICE is detaining so many? Slave labor. Detainees are paid only $1/day for any work they do. www.npr.org/2025/06/04/n...

BREAKING: California Sen. Alex Padilla was detained and handcuffed during an altercation at Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference.

There’s a lot going on with Trump and Republicans' “Big Beautiful Bill,” and it’s all bad. 16 MILLION losing health care. 4.3 MILLION losing food assistance. And 3 TRILLION added to our national debt. All for billionaires and billionaire corporations to get even richer.

i am not being pollyannish when i insist that the people who sign up do not sign up to advance a president’s domestic political agenda www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The use of Lime scooters and bikes as weapons of the resistance delights me in ways I can’t describe.

Double.

Thank you to everyone who’s reached out after our last post. We’ve received even more footage of police and ICE brutality. Tonight, the LAPD opened a formal investigation.

“Cryptome was a critical piece of showing what kind of transparency the internet could bring,” EFF’s Cindy Cohn told @nytimes.com for the obituary of John L. Young, a pioneer online librarian of secrets who died in March at 89.
