‘They destroyed us’: East Chicago woman with schizophrenia who opted for deportation now missing in Mexico When federal immigration agents raided Martha Porcallo Martinez’s East Chicago, Indiana home on June 12, they also arrested her 26-year-old daughter who has schizophrenia.

The feds raided an East Chicago home, arrested a mother and her 26-year-old schizophrenic daughter. She's been here since she's 2. In ICE custody, she had no meds and chose to leave the country. Now she's in Mexico, barely speaks Spanish, and her family can't find her.

Just remembering that the conventional wisdom that was building in the minds of senior officers around me in March was that despite all that was going on, at least the guidance was clear and consistent.

I don't hear that much anymore. Lol.

Voting with your ears.

Mamdani's line that billionaires spent more to oppose his candidacy than he proposed to tax them really says it all.

Like a company that shuts down a profitable location as soon as it unionizes. The principle of maintaining control is more important.

To him, defunding SNAP is about creating a bargaining tool and punishing Democrats.

It’s about him.

The human suffering simply doesn’t matter.

ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant”

He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care

This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person

They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

Let's see how many First Amendment violations we have in this one edict:

Religion ✔️
Speech ✔️
Peaceably assemble ✔️
Petition the government for redress of grievances ✔️
Press ❓(not quite, but they'll figure out a way)

Another example of when RW Christian Nationalists declare support for 1st Amendment, they are not actually supporting freedom of speech or freedom of religion for everyone, just for their narrow slice of America.

190. SNAP WTF? A very quick explainer on what (and why) Justice Jackson issued an "administrative stay" in the SNAP case late on Friday night, and on what's likely to happen next

We wanted to share this to help people understand what’s going on. It was shared by Jay Kuo and written by Steve Vladeck a clear, straightforward breakdown of the SNAP situation.

Touching & interesting obituary. He went through quite a journey.

I was at UGA when Kent State happened. The deployment of NG troops against college kids was chilling, but it also mobilized thousands more to protests. The deployment of federal forces to DC, LA, & Chicago Is having a similar effect.

Judge blocks Trump from deploying National Guard in Oregon The judge, who was appointed by Trump, said the attempted deployment in Portland exceeded the president’s authority.

Contrary to the administration’s contentions, “there was neither ‘a rebellion or danger of a rebellion’” in Oregon, the judge ruled. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This sounds like Justice Jackson is being tactical by issuing the brief admin stay to try to get SNAP moving again once the 1st Cir rules, rather than risk having all SCOTUS issue a longer stay pending full SCOTUS adjudication. There’ll be a better record to push back on that after 1st Cir. rules.

It has Bluesky attorneys working late into the night explaining it to we IANAL folks.

I do appreciate lawyers saying this stay makes sense. It is awful that we have a system where the president can illegally withhold money and people not him will pay the price. Food is pretty important.

LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR: DOJ DID ALL OF THIS TO TRY AND STOP PAYMENTS TO PEOPLE UNDER AN ANTI-HUNGER PROGRAM.

I need to emphasize what I say down-thread: this is a temporary, procedural move known as an administrative stay issued in haste by Justice Jackson.

Little to nothing should be read into this ruling for how SCOTUS might ultimately rule on SNAP—either way.

This is a huge victory in the Trump administration’s relentless campaign to starve millions of American children. Make America Hungry Again!

It’s worse than you think. This is his lawyer Rita Glavin who has been paid tens of millions of dollars to smear me and the other women who came forward. She has led his taxpayer funded litigation abuse of us all.

And here she is at the loser party with him.

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that the Trump admin violated federal workers’ First Amendment rights by adding partisan speech in their out-of-office emails. As our amicus brief emphasized, this ruling reaffirms that nonpartisanship is a bedrock principle of civil service. 1/3
