More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

'Some of you are probably fine with it’: Newsom confronts business elite on Trump The California governor used financial power brokers as a foil during an interview in New York City.

Gavin Newsom lit into an audience full of financial power brokers today, criticizing what he cast as their complicity with Trump’s agenda. He told attendees of the New York Times DealBook Summit that they should look into the kneepads he’s selling, in parody, to those “groveling to Trump’s needs.”

Maybe instead of committing atrocities, we could just make the rich pay their fair share and have universal healthcare and affordable housing instead.

Idk, just spitballing here.

The U.S. is the only democracy in the world with:

- Lifetime terms for high court judges
- An electoral college for choosing an executive
- A legislative chamber where legislative minorities routinely and permanently thwart legislative majorities
- 75% requirements for constitutional amendments

“The decision was made to exclude me from the filmed production of Swan Lake because I was told my brown skin would disrupt the aesthetic.” ~ Misty Copeland

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

Blatant corruption on full display.

In a world awash with negative science/health news this is unashamedly great news. connectsci.au/news/news-pa...

Democratic voters are working hard to stop fascism. It would be nice if the leaders of the party joined them.

You have the right to record ICE.

You have the right to film any operation happening in public as long as you do not interfere or impede it.

Your camera is proof, but keep a safe distance. KEEP RECORDING.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it?

Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean.

He served for 37 years.

Unwise of him to title his book “People’s Exhibit 1.”

Seemed?! Dude was in REM sleep while the Cabinet talked about national security. Drowsy Don didn’t just nod off he was one Werther’s Original away from full grandpa-at-Thanksgiving energy.

Tonight, we did something everyone counted out. We proved to a nation that states like Tennessee are still worth fighting for. The margin was close, and that can only be attributed to the thousands of volunteers who showed out. This is just the beginning.

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women".

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

So am I.

Dodged duty five times, mocks those who serve, then claims he’d love to have their job?

The irony could salute itself.

Netanyahu keeps bombing his way out of court. Probably a coincidence.

1/3 🧵Having been a former Republican who moved to the Democratic side...seven years ago...I’ve heard people insist, “There is no far left!”

Look...of course there is. To say otherwise is irresponsible. Every movement has its edges.

But when John Thune...

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

While the top 1% control $54 TRILLION

(not a typo)

Violent thugs are terrorizing Americans and they were sent by the White House.

Abolish ICE.

Pass it on.

Trump plan would limit disability benefits for older Americans Trump administration officials are considering eliminating age as a factor in deciding whether someone is capable of working.

Trump promised to protect Social Security. This is not protecting it for hundreds of thousands of seniors.

“The Trump administration is preparing a plan that will make it harder for older Americans to qualify for Social Security disability payments.”
