Biden mixes up two names when describing the major problems facing the US in the Middle East: dementia, worse than Watergate Trump announces a totally fake ceasefire in an ongoing war, congratulates Iran, and encourages everyone to finish their bombing runs: big oopsie, Trump being Trump

A federal officer cannot be “doxxed.” The public has a right to know who is operating in our government, especially if they have the power to imprison someone.

A hearty fuck you to everyone who said Donald Trump would do a better job at restraining Israel.

illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president

Shutting down Indian Point was a big pet project of RFK Jr. and his allies

Gonna level with you bro I think DHS needs to be dissolved after this. Regardless of what national security functions fall under its remit, it's clearly institutionally constructed in such a way allows it to be used as an unaccountable tool of executive power. Can't reform your way out of that.

Look these guys just want to anonymously terrorize people, unaccountably welding the monopoly on violence granted by state power. Is that so wrong???

LEOs need reasonable suspicion that a specific person committed a specific crime to detain them for investigation. They need probable cause of same to arrest them pending charges. When they take somebody into custody without either of these things, that’s called kidnapping, and it’s a felony.

2015 is the first year we started doing this and it's never stopped.

what is it called when people who aren't cops and don't have a warrant drag you away, because I don't think "arrest" is the word

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Bezos has enough money that he could actually fund a media organization that stands for something. Instead we get this obsequious trash

Every one of the goons needs to end up in prison along with Noem, Miller and Trump for ordering this shit.

This is why I wrote my pinned report, which draws from my time as a criminal defense attorney. This jackass says he’s going to define “get violent” for the people in his county... ...but the *first six offenses he names* are non-violent offenses. They are changing definitions to justify fascism.

The Minnesota assassinations, the attempted arson at Governor Shapiro's home, and the violent arrest of Senator Padilla are all straight out of the Jim Crow terrorism playbook. Same goes with cops aiming for journalists covering the ICE protests. None of these are new tactics, just a new iteration.

Reminder that seven Democratic senators voted to confirm Kristi Noem and six Dem senators declined to vote either way. She was confirmed, 59-34. The good faith experiment is clearly over, and we need the Democratic senators who didn't stand against her nomination to be loud as hell right now.

You voted to confirm Noem

ICE has to be abolished root and branch.

The state of California needs to arrest the DHS "security" forces for assault and every Democrat in the U.S. Senate needs to sign onto a campaign to impeach Kristi Noem. Right fucking now.

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.

This is fucking horrifying and also brutalizing one of the handful of Latino senators on camera is not exactly going to do wonders for how Latinos view the administration.

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

a woman just trying to get home gets shot

They clearly do no give a solitary fuck about objectivity

The contrast and absurdity is so brazen. They're literally raiding Home Depots to find whatever guys are there to get work as day laborers. People eager for work. And the ICE agents has zero idea who they are or any criminal background.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

He’s disappearing innocent people off of our streets and ordering the military onto our streets. He does not give a damn about the rule of law. He is the very tyrant our founding generation rose up against 249 yrs ago. It’s time for the American people to rise up again.

It’s 100% appropriate for a WH correspondent to accurately assess the character and motives of our shadow president. Moran erred only in taking it down.

In a sane world, local cops would be protecting their residents from illegal kidnappings.

ICE arrested 36 Chinese & Taiwanese immigrants after raiding an LA nightclub. That's them, ziptied on the sidewalk. Yo Asians—if you weren't already outraged and mobilizing on behalf of others, guess what? That "First they came for the..." poem has gotten up to us. www.latimes.com/california/s...

there is no rioting. nobody is looting. Nobody is burning random stuff down. This is just americans rising up to protect their neighbors from the ICE brownshirts.

Oh come on. He's right! Doesn't it matter if the political analysis he's saying is right?
