ICE Agents Clear Immigration Court During Clergy Visit: 'The Red Sea Parted' On June 20, World Refugee Day, while two immigration cases were heard at San Diego, California's Edward J. Schwartz Federal Building, agents were nowhere to be found following a clergy delegation led ...

(July 20th, San Diego)
ICE agents sometimes lurk around/in immigration courts, waiting to pounce.
However, once they spotted Catholic clergy members escorting people to their immigration hearings, the ICE agents ran away! #USDemocracy

N.Y. Senator 'Misspoke' When She Falsely Claimed Zohran Mamdani Condoned 'Global Jihad' New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s office walked back her suggestion that the New York mayoral nominee had supported “global jihad.”

Sure she did. She repeatedly and emphatically misspoke. She should RESIGN.

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

The Public Is Resisting Trump. The Elites Aren’t. The president is encountering little resistance as he remakes our society. And yet polling is clear that voters aren’t with him.

"While a successful democracy depends on some degree of reasonableness from voters, a successful liberal democracy also depends on some degree of responsibility and even courage from elites."

The people are passing this test, and the elites are not.

New Yorkers can be loud and intense. But they are kind, tolerant, and great people.

Bernie to Dems:

"The State Department has one estimate that the cost of shutting down USAID was $6 billion. So instead of saving money, they've spent $6 billion killing a lot of kids."

@nickkristof.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social to discuss the gratuitous cruelty of cutting USAID:

I agree. It is humiliating but what we have always needed is humility.

If your leaders keep failing you by being weak, and everyone makes fun of them for being weak, and they lose all the battles they should have won? Then it’s long past time to replace your leaders. because they are obviously very bad leaders. You don’t owe them a goddamn thing.

Was he trying to outdo George Clooney?

Please share this. Friends of the Everglades are organizing a protest to stop Alligator Alcatraz. Join us we have coalition members traveling overnight to be there by morning.

Where: Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, 54575 Tamiami Trail
When: Saturday, June 28, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

We’ve talked about “Alligator Alcatraz” before. Here are more details.

Starting the first week of July, when South Florida’s heat index regularly hits 100°F, they plan to detain up to 5,000 people in tents. No A/C. No real shelter. Just suffocating heat, choking humidity, and swarms of mosquitoes.

Consider donating to Friends of the Everglades and the Center for Biological Diversity. They’ve filed a federal lawsuit in U.S. District Court to try and stop “Alligator Alcatraz” before it opens.

If things are going so well for the establishment, why does ONE young Dem mayor nominee scare them so much?

They are terrified of what comes next.

They’re just going to keep taking your rights away and pretend it’s all Constitutional and dare you to stop them.

Birthright citizenship is a Constitutional RIGHT. Any attack on it is an attack on us all.

This is an attempt by far-right justices to attack immigrant communities and remove protections from any American who questions Trump.

Your rights are nonnegotiable. We can’t compromise on that basic fact.

Again, I’d like to encourage the people who think it’s a good idea to embrace a cruel and capricious dictatorship, while making it clear no legal or legislative authority can stop them from ruining ordinary people’s lives, to keep on reading to see what usually happens next.

Here’s a genocidal monster that has a warrant for his arrest from the International Court in The Hague for crimes against Humanity.

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this?

Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids.

She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms.

Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen.

Bondi just said DHS is helping rid us of criminals from the Sinaloa Cartel, but she failed to mention the asylum she gave to family members of the Sinaloa Cartel. She also said we're ridding the country of MS-13, but failed to mention the asylum she's giving to MS-13 leaders in the Abrego case.

Newsom: The gloves are off. Let’s go. We’re gonna call out the bullshit. And the propaganda. And the weaponization of lies and disinformation on networks like Fox…
