This is called murder. This is killing ANYONE you want in a boat or a plane or coming to the US or anyone here and saying they were a drug smuggler. This is killing people with no charges, no evidence, no trial. This is murder.

I think Alamo had an early screening of the last one, so you may want to keep an eye on them in particular.

Yeah, I live in Brooklyn and can't afford my own apartment. I've had a roommate force the bathroom door open to pee while I was showering, pee in the sink, steal my food, smash both his and his boyfriend's phone and stab his boyfriend's clothes so he couldn't go to work...and that's just one roomie!

I am starting to think the focus on forgiving Newsom for transphobia is an op to ignore his other very terrible policies, including his handling of homelessness, his unwillingness to support WGA/SAG-AFTRA strike, and more.

His anti-trans podcast circuit is bad and so is his record in CA.

I think the Supreme Court decision fucking sucks and is illustrative of how deeply the US hates not just trans people, but children, and it ties VERY deeply into the politics of how we think about children's rights and bodies.

This thread from @nora.zone is a great articulation of this issue.

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.

Now is the perfect time to be pressing this point hard. The entire premise of the immigration "debate" is nonsense, and it's debasing and destroying the country for immigrants and citizens alike. Who in national politics has the courage and the skill to say so?

For the record, it does in fact look like the judge is innocent as more facts come out.

Your knee-jerk reaction should always be “ICE/DOJ are lying” in a case like this, because they are almost always lying.

FBI Director Kash Patel v Follow @FBIDirectorKash Just NOW, the FBI arrested Judge Hannah Dugan out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on charges of obstruction — after evidence of Judge Dugan obstructing an immigration arrest operation last week. We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject — an illegal alien — to evade arrest. Thankfully our agents chased down the perp on foot and he's been in custody since, but the Judge's obstruction created increased danger to the public. We will have more to share soon. Excellent work @FBIMilwaukee.

Through all his troubles, neither the DOJ/FBI nor any state authorities ever subjected Donald Trump to arrest, preferring in every case to proceed by indictment and voluntary surrender. It’s notable that a sitting judge and pillar of the Milwaukee community was not extended the same courtesy.

I'd like to think Pope Francis came back from the brink of death solely to clown on JD Vance.

I was coming here to make this joke!

Sorry (not sorry) but someone with a dead worm in their skull is the last person to believe about "environmental toxins" and autism.

when the law says you cannot exist, the truest and best weapon at your disposal is to defy it and survive regardless. In the face of meaningless cruelty, defiance is all there is, really. For as long as it takes.

If you care more about JFK assassination documents than the hundreds of Palestinians who have died in the last day (on top of the thousands more), you're a bad person.
