The lawmakers were able to go up to the sixth floor of the Baltimore ICE field office...but no further.

"The field office’s acting director, Nikita Baker...denied them a tour based on a directive she’d been given from “headquarters,” she said."

“Children are dying while 6,000 trucks with food wait a few miles away,” say CPC leaders Reps. Greg Casar, Ilhan Omar and Chuy Garcia. “We demand Trump use U.S. leverage to ensure that Israel fully restores international aid access to Gaza. It is not too late to save millions of lives.”

Read this very carefully: *One quarter* of all the people who have died of starvation in Gaza over the past 22 months have died in the past *3* days.

Okay, who's primarying Maura Healey from the left?

Why are HSI agents smashing car windows & abducting immigrants in Waltham, MA—again?
No ID. No warrant.

Just masked men asking “Are you legal?” like it’s 1942 Germany.

Ramos Arucha stayed silent—as is his RIGHT. They shattered glass anyway.

This is Gestapo-level terror

A 12-year-old boy was left alone on a street corner after “ICE” agents arrested the adult he was with in Waltham, MA.

They just drove away and left him. A child. On the sidewalk. Like trash.

THIS is the face of our immigration system. Cruel. Inhumane. Indefensible.

We Have Rights: When Documenting ICE Arrests This is "We Have Rights: When Documenting ICE Arrests" by MediaTank on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

A campaign to prepare for and safely defend our rights during encounters with ICE. Five videos in seven languages at www.wehaverights.us —here’s the video about rights while documenting ICE arrests:

nothing good has ever come from presenting disabled and sick people as a literal threat to the nation

Laser focused on reducing prices for everyday Americans from Day One, the President has struck a deal that will lower the price of Rolls Royces, Bentleys, Jaguars, Aston Martin's, Range Rovers, and Minis.

*No other consumer good received carveouts.

This slaps. I hope JD Vance is having the worst day of his life.

Etel is the real deal. Here in Worcester she is under constant threats and personal attacks. She herself is a naturalized citizen after a harrowing journey as a refugee to come to Worcester. Yet here she is on the front lines I wish every elected was as unapologetically living their values like Etel

This is video of the Worcester ICE kidnapping I posted about earlier. This is utterly horrific.

NEW: A federal judge raised alarm Friday that the Trump administration appeared to have deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with "no meaningful process" — even as her father was fighting to keep her in the country.

Here’s “Basket Case” except it’s about why you shouldn’t use Face ID or a thumbprint to unlock your phone

Rümeysa Öztürk should be at home in Somerville celebrating Ramadan with her friends and community.

An LGBTQ asylum seeker from Venezuela was sent to prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration “solely because he has tattoos,” says @cargiolim.bsky.social, attorney with Immigrant Defenders Law Center.

The asylum seeker has no criminal record.

Gang member, terrorist, communist: these are things you call people when you want people to accept the violation of a person’s constitutional and human rights. Trump and company decide first what they want to do to someone or a group of people and then later pick the smear.

The thing to remember is that while ICE has always been like this, ICE has not always been around. It is not even 25 years old. We don't need it. We never did.

1. EXCLUSIVE

An internal Social Security Administration memo, dated March 13 and obtained by Popular Information, lays out a plan to sabotage the agency.

The memo itself predicts "service disruption," "operational strain," and "budget shortfalls" will result.

This is huge!!!

Exactly. Those 10 Dem Senators now own DOGE. They own the misery, the economic chaos, the collapse of government services, the targeting of academia.

This isn't hyperbole, it's what they voted for: more latitude for Trump/Musk. And got nothing in return. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Yes a shutdown would have consequences.

And a Republican President, Republican House, and Republican Senate would be responsible.

They have acted in a unilateral and unprecedented way.

Democrats cannot cave. They must fight back.

Chuck Schumer doing the Kubrick stare because he needs to fucking retire.

the “Kubrick Stare" is one of Stanley Kubrick's most recognizable directorial techniques, a method of shot composition where a character stares at the camera with a forward tilt, to convey to the audience that the character in question is at the peak of their derangement.

Banning Chinese student visas would destroy university finances

Screenshot of a Washington Post uptdate: "More than 50 House Democrats sign letter critical of Schumer Return to menu Marianna Sotomayor Dozens of House Democrats sent a letter to Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-New York) on Friday to express their “strong opposition” to his support for advancing a Republican-authored stopgap spending measure, which the lawmakers called a “partisan continuing resolution that legitimizes President Trump and the Republican party’s dismantling of government.”"

👀 Frankly this is extraordinary. Beltway reporters may choose to dismiss this is a performance art but this is not normal. House/Sen Dems often have tactical differences but they never call out each other so publicly this way.

Schumer has completely lost it. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
