The Trump admin in a nutshell; in order to justify their own mistake, they’re going to release a violent felon with five deportations so he can testify against the guy with no criminal record they mistakenly deported. In other words, the story is always more important than the principle.

I've covered race for two decades. I knew the 2nd Trump Admin would be dangerous for civil rights. Yet the collapse of the federal civil rights architecture and national will to address racial inequality and work on integration is stunning. Here's my latest. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/m...

Per this lawyer, the mother of 3 US citizens, among others, has been abducted by “bounty hunters” at gunpoint, brought to CBP, where they demanded she sign deportation papers without seeing a judge. When she refused, she was literally disappeared by the armed “bounty hunters” at the behest of CBP.

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location. ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her. This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.

I watched a young adult person just struggle his way through counting coin change in a line and we really need a lot of public health information campaigns, a 24/7 public Sesame Street channel, & a moratorium on all education debt. We will get more prisons, eugenics and AI.

(1) Does this mean that any state with an island is now exempt? (2) Not that we needed more evidence that the US is moving away from a rule of law culture, but this BS is an insult to the generality of the law, which is a safeguard of republican liberty.

56 years ago, on the 28th of June 1969, at 1:20 AM, the NYPD raided the Stonewall Inn, one of the few gay bars in the city at the time. They intended to have female officers take patrons they perceived to be women to the bathrooms to verify their sex, to then arrest trans women and drag queens. 1/7
