"You're the richest man in the world but it's impossible to find a group of 12 people who don't hate you" is like a Biblical curse.

‘Outrageous’: Furor grows over ICE’s arrest, deportation of 6-year-old deaf Hayward child The uproar follows allegations that ICE agents mislead the family’s attorney and separated the child from vital equipment he needs to properly hear.

A six-year-old student at the California School for the Deaf-Fremont has been reunited with his communication devices after being deported to Columbia last week.

One year ago, Mahmoud Khalil was taken by ICE. He is now out.

Around the same time, Leqaa Kordia was taken and is still in ICE detention.

Her apparent crime is using America's First Amendment rights to protest for peace.

She is the last Columbia student still in detention, and Khalil wrote to her

Like ok not ALL Irish music is political, there's also "Ah shit, the fey" of course, but like, "tally-tally-whack-fol okay the English have stopped paying attention listen up boys" is maybe half of Irish folk music on its own.

I’m rather surprised but pleased by the verdict - but I have a very strong feeling that their parents will make a transfer of money to Donald Trump - and they will then be pardoned. Hard to picture rich, well-connected men actually being punished for rape in this era.

BREAKING NEWS: court issues order siding with protester and journalists; blocks use of tear gas at Portland ICE building

“This is a victory for every Oregonian who believes that exercising your constitutional rights should never put you in harm’s way.

We filed arguments and evidence in this case because what we documented was clear: unconstitutional behavior by ICE officers – targeting children, seniors, and peaceful crowds. Parents, teachers, union members, and some people who were just passing by – people who did nothing wrong. We received reports of children screaming in fear, and of senior citizens who couldn’t breathe.

This behavior is unacceptable and unlawful. Nationally, we’re seeing an administration that is perpetuating violence without justification, claiming immunity where none exists. We will continue to fight for Oregonians every day.

BREAKING NEWS: A federal judge in Oregon just issued a preliminary injunction, blocking federal agents from using tear gas and other chemical crowd control devices on protesters at the ICE building in Portland. #orpol #breakingnews

Yeah...you don't get to bomb the shit out of a country and then go "Ok, we're even stevens now."

Minnesota lawmaker Katie Jones rode in a cargo e-bike to the hospital for her baby's birth. Her husband, Peter Schmitt, pedaled the two miles there.

On the return journey, their son Hans – all 8 pounds and 1 ounce of him – was bundled up and handled it just fine, Jones said.

Earlier this year leaked video showed the inhumane conditions at the Baltimore ICE Holding Facility.

Today we conducted an unannounced oversight visit.

Here's some of what we learned:

If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump is completely flailing. He didn't anticipate the economic blowback and now he's trying to undo the past 10 days and contain the damage.

The Pacific Northwest is COOKING right now. Shout out to the folks at @sightline.org doing great work up north.

Man.

The world fucking is on fire.

So go be as corny and cringe as you wanna be without hurting people.

Live whats left of your only life.

If you can’t be free in your body at least go be free in your mind and soul.

Fuck the haters.

The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.

A senseless, criminal waste

It is terrible and they only ever talk about it with regards to Democrats. The Republican will be like "let's murder children" and they'll be like "A BOLD STANCE" and then a Democrat takes a mainstream concept like "abolish ICE" and they're like "sorry, you can't be electable with that!"

Bad AP essay:

Today in my essay I will argue that the Iran War was complete but in some ways it was also incomplete. Many things about Iran War have changed over time, but in many ways, they have also stayed the same. You could say it’s both.

Virginia’s New Governor Ends ICE Program. Local Contracts Remain, For Now. Abigail Spanberger left the 287(g) program, which empowered state law enforcement to detain immigrants. Will Democrats also bar local police and sheriffs from the program?

Virginia State Police have jurisdiction over 78,000 miles of highways and conduct hundreds of thousands of traffic stops a year. Governor Spanberger recently ended a policy that allowed them to make civil immigration arrests.

Joaquin Castro, like his twin brother when he was in office, just does his job. I like that. I want to vote for a Castro and Castro ticket.

If you are watching Trump's presser right now, you are seeing beyond reasonable doubt a person not mentally suited for any position of responsibility. Even running a small store.

GOP members of the House and Senate: You are seeing this too.

Will no one rid me of this meddlesome ayatollah?

Just walked by a colleague's classroom after my class finished and he was talking about Elvis, getting blank stares and so he had to ask "Does anyone know who Elvis Presley is?"

It's rough out here on these teaching streets.

Ahead of 2028, Sen. Cory Booker to unveil bill to make $75,000 in income tax-free The bill is a marker for the next time Democrats get a chance to rewrite the tax code. The New Jersey senator told NBC News he's keeping the door open to a 2028 presidential bid.

What are we even doing here? The bulk of this is like four trillion dollar regressive tax cut that doesn’t help the poorest families at all and helps the richest the most.

To make it less regressive, he adds like another two trillion in progressive tax cuts that targets families with kids.

Hasbro’s CEO on J.K. Rowling. We just published our new Decoder interview with Chris Cocks, the head of Hasbro. I asked him directly about how he thinks about author J.K. Rowling’s politics and what it’s done to the Harry Potter f...

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

According to DOGE flunky, a documentary about the experiences of Jewish women's slave labor during the Holocaust is "inherently discriminatory." Come ON.

The Gámez-Cuéllar family has been released from Dilley! We just picked them up.

No calls for censure, either from Republicans or Democratic leadership.

Thankfully, many Dems have called Ogles out.

So far, no Republicans, right?

You average normie Democrat in 2026 loves AOC, wants to abolish ICE, and thinks Israel shouldn’t get another penny from us.

It’s laughable how out of touch centrist consultants and politicians are.

Washington State Farm workers pruning apple trees on a cold day

Farm workers in WA state are hard at work pruning apple trees in 36° temps. They tell us: This work is very hard. We spend our days going up and down ladders - that gets slippery - to cut the branches. Frozen branches are brittle. Sometimes they break unexpectedly. #WeFeedYou

oh good i was worried it was white supremacy and capitalism
