The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it.

- Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders.

- Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.

The high in the East Bay today is 70ยฐ. The fact that we don't have Manhattan-level density is a climate resilience planning failure.

I ran into these Kiwis at the airport in San Francisco and asked them who they were here to play. I wasn't expecting them to say Bayern Munich!

The cruelty of this is, genuinely, staggering. This is a policy that saves virtually no money whatsoever whose success is measured in the number of children it kills.

"The hallways...were absolutely lined with ICE agents. And immigrants were scared to leave, even though their cases were still open. What happened was that ICE agents then stormed into the courtroom, kicked out the attorneys, and detained everyone in the courtroom over the judge's objections."

New Video of Mahmoud Khalilโ€™s Arrest Shows Trump Admin is Lying in Court The new footage of ICEโ€™s warrantless arrest shows the Palestinian student fully cooperated with federal agents and was not a flight risk, as the government continues to falsely claim.

โ€œThe Columbia footage that we subpoenaed conclusively proves that Mahmoud never attempted to run from the ICE agents, that the government lied once again, & that there was no valid reason for the arrest of a US permanent resident and human rights defenderโ€ - Ramzi Kassem to @premthakker.bsky.social

A picture shows 32 men arranging themselves into an SOS on the ground of a prison yard. The ground is bare earth. All the men are wearing red or orange prison jumpsuits.

What an image! Venezuelan men who narrowly avoided being imprisoned by Trump in El Salvador without trial (saved by the Supreme Court) spelled out an SOS to a
@reuters.com camera drone observing the Bluebonnet ICE facility.

11 days ago, buses to the airport were turned around at the last second.
