He should get a Pulitzer

We were warned. People chose to ignore it. Now this is our reality.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

“Whatever you think of Israel’s conduct during its war against Hamas in Gaza, you should understand that its delivery system for aid was doomed to fail,” @juliettekayyem.bsky.social argues.

If these tanks can spend ~ a month going to and from an exercise whose sole points are to (a) flatter the ego of a wannabe authoritarian, and (b) destroy DC streets ... then maybe we have too many tanks?

Thanks to the NYC Bar for our session on the global assault judges & lawyers, fellow speakers Margaret Satterthwaite, UN Special Rapporteur on the Independence of Lawyers and Judges; Santiago Canton, International Commission of Jurists; and to the American Association of the ICJ.

An ethics complaint filed with the Florida Bar Association against AG Pam Bondi was signed by 70 lawyers, judges & professors, accusing her of "PROFESSIONAL MISCONDUCT", alleging she threatens Justice Dept. lawyers with unmerited discipline or termination! www.newsweek.com/pam-bondi-ac...

While govt moves to dismiss Abrego Garcia case, his own attys seek to pierce atty-client privilege invoking the "crime-fraud exception." "There is ample evidence that defendants have actively strategized to avoid compliance with court orders." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Since the AG doesn't seem to be getting ethics guidance from her team these days, I wanted to make sure she has the rule in the Justice Manual in front of her, which expressly prohibits this.

Very Well Said…..😊💙

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

Israel’s former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has denounced the war his successor, Benjamin Netanyahu, has been waging in Gaza. In a piece for Haaretz, Olmert referred to the current government as a “criminal gang” led by Netanyahu. As a proud American Jew, I agree. www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

One year ago today

From @membrich.bsky.social: Why the new Bonus Army is taking it to the streets: "Trump’s so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE), will gut over 15 percent of the VA’s workforce — some 83,000 people, many of them disabled veterans." www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Around the time that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was indicted in the Middle District of Tennessee, the chief of the criminal division in that district posted this on LinkedIn: “Earlier today, after nearly 15 years as an Assistant United States Attorney, I resigned…”

Reminder that California subsidizes red states.

This is corrupt. We all know that. So...why can't people -- msm -- say it? www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/p...

Millions of people devoted their careers to serving their country and one guy who had devoted his career to enriching himself thought he knew better.

“We’re all searching for answers,” Torrance Elem. PTA volunteer Ria Villanueva said. “When something like this happens, it shakes all of us in the community. There’s not a child at our school that we don’t treat as our own.” By @tarantulaarms.bsky.social & Ruben Vives www.latimes.com/california/s...

If this works in people it would indeed be a game changer. This is the kind of payoff you get from decades of dedicated basic research. The kind that is currently being torn down by this administration.

the tech right suddenly discovers due process

We didn’t vote for Hillary and Kamala because women are far too emotional.

AOC nails it! The majority of our politicians have been in office for so long that they are no longer capable of realizing the reality of the life their constituents have to live.

There is literally no point in going down without a fight. You comply, you lose, and you allow the administration to outsource its fascism. You fight, you just might win.

Guess who is going to pay for the tariffs?

BREAKING: Chief Judge James Boasberg finds that those people sent to CECOT under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15-16 had their due process rights violates and certifies them as a class. He orders that the government "facilitate" the ability for them to seek habeas relief.

Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back. This is only going to get worse.

This is very bad Once they start screwing with the data, that’s the whole ballgame

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

I think a lot of of those folks dressing up like ICE are not even cops much less federal agents. The way they carry themselves. The way they are dressed. Something is off.

Russia’s casualties to date are on a par with the entirety of Britain’s losses in the second world war. How is the country able to shrug off such staggering losses? https://econ.trib.al/TLhZiR7
