More clashes with Department of Homeland Security in downtown
Los Angeles

Wow, what a canary in a coal mine here.

I think the war on science has already gone far further than most of us believed it could. I fear it’s only getting started.

As hard as that is to stomach, as an American, I get it. Ukraine’s job is not to rescue American democracy; it’s to rescue Ukraine.

They didn’t choose this devil to dance with. But it’s the dance they have to do, now.

🔥 BREAKING: Ninth Circuit SLAMS Trump-era ICE raids in LA 🔥

No more racist “roving” raids. No more targeting by race, accent, job, or zip code.
This court ruling torches fear-based policing and shields immigrant communities.

The Constitution still matters—and so do the people.
We fight. We win.

Honestly, I don’t think there’s a bigger fascist red flag than this one.

Heads up!

‘Clinton Plan’ Emails Were Likely Made by Russian Spies, Declassified Report Shows

Excellent story from the @nytimes.com clearly debunking the Admin’s latest claims about Russiagate. Explains what the new docs say, debunks lies about them in plain language.

Wow

US Appeals Court Skeptical of Trump Tariff Justification Get caught up.

Let’s keep reiterating this until people actually get it (unlike Trump), but also reinforce that he’s *not even legally allowed to be doing any of this tariff crap in the first place.*

The only real national emergencies are the ones of the regime’s own creation.

‘Welcome to hell’: Inside the megaprison where the U.S. deported migrants Interviews with 16 former detainees of El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center offer the most complete view yet of conditions inside the notorious prison.

The US government has sent innocent men to be beaten and raped in a foreign gulag

Blue state Mayors & Governors are great at calling out the rampant DHS abuses, but need to do the hard part as well; reorienting their police to serve-and-protect residents from those abuses, rather than be complicit with—or even participate in—them.

This is in FL, but is instructive for all.

Who Is the Administrator of Alligator Alcatraz? @annabower.bsky.social

Detainees at Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” are on a hunger strike over what they call inhumane, dangerous conditions.

Some haven’t eaten in 10 days. One of them, Pedro Hernández, was hospitalized and still refuses food until they are treated with dignity.

Trump responds to his failure to create jobs by firing the U.S. labor statistics chief Confronted with evidence of his own failures, the president could've changed direction. He instead found it easier to fire his labor statistics chief.

In true authoritarian fashion, Trump, confronted by evidence of his failures, fired the labor statistics chief for telling the truth.

It’s dangerously insane to set the credibility of government stats on fire to satisfy presidential whims.

This isn’t how Americans govern; it’s how despots rule.

Censorship Whac-A-Mole: Google search exploited to scrub articles on San Francisco tech exec A novel method of de-indexing websites from search results was used to bury critical reporting and commentary.

NEW: Google admits to a vulnerability that was used to de-index legitimate web pages from search results and bury critical reporting, commentary.

This cannot stand.

He’s not wrong, but the entire world is going to be laughing hysterically at what an absolute joke American democracy has become after 2026 as we battle to see who can carve out the least fair electoral districts.

We have really lost our way.

Please don’t tell me that the antisemitism problem in American is predominantly on the left, please.

A legal permanent resident researching cures for Lyme disease has been detained by immigration officials for over a week.

He has reportedly been denied access to an attorney and his family has not been given a reason for his detention.

We cannot become immune to this cruelty.

Trump-CBS deal is even worse than you thought | Will Bunch Newsletter Plus, Josh Shapiro’s muddled message on antisemtism.

Superb piece on how the regime is so obviously and blatantly cowing the MSM that it is obvious to everyone…

…except the MSM.

Democracy Dies in Darkness is no longer a warning.

It’s an instruction guide.

Senate Democrats’ Abandonment of Adeel Mangi Made Emil Bove’s Confirmation Possible Senate Democrats could have confirmed Biden nominee Adeel Mangi to the Third Circuit last year. They caved to a disgraceful right-wing smear campaign instead.

The Cowardice of Senate Democrats Made Emil Bove’s Confirmation Possible

Senate Democrats could have confirmed Biden nominee Adeel Mangi to the Third Circuit last year. They caved to a disgraceful right-wing smear campaign instead.

NEW: In one of his most consequential decisions, Trump has allowed Big Tech to run wild with A.I. With a Big Brother caveat: Trump wants to to block A.I. chatbots that don't support his lies & perverted reality. Read all about it in my OUR LAND newsletter.

It was an incredible relief last night that this particular nightmare only lasted about five hours or 0.0189 Scaramuccis.

That said, if Russ Vought can insert a footnote somewhere else that kills NIH funding, he will attempt it again. Project 2025 demands it.

Look up the word #kakistocracy

Just to reiterate: What this administration is doing right now is orders of magnitude more dangerous for academic freedom and free speech than anything the right has spent the last 30 years complaining about.

Contempt!

Enough of the “distracted” stuff. No one is distracted (well, maybe some in the MSM)! We can all walk and chew gum.

Epstein is serious, but we knew of all the threats to our democracy, economy, and decency before; and we haven’t forgotten them now.

So please stop patronizing the voting public.

Opening Day 1993–the only good day that season to be a Mets fan.

I went Opening Day 1993. Doc pitched well enough to win and the #Mets continued their Opening Day dominance.

Little did I know it was going to be the best day of the year…

Let’s also remember that G’vir’s lieutenant just openly advocated for full-fledged genocide.
