Wonder what Brendan Carrs kids will think about their dad going from viewing censorship as an authoritarian tool to cancelling a well-loved comedian. #BrendanCarrslegacy

Alt Text: A statement on a red-bordered white background from George Retes, a 25-year-old U.S. Army veteran, U.S. citizen, and security guard at Glass House Farms in Camarillo, California. The statement recounts his wrongful detainment by ICE agents on July 10th while on his way to work. He describes being pepper-sprayed, tear-gassed, having his car window smashed, and being dragged out of his vehicle at gunpoint, despite being nonviolent and clearly identifying himself as a U.S. citizen and employee. Retes details being detained for three days without charges, phone access, or legal help, and without being told the reason for his arrest. He was denied medical care despite injuries from chemical agents. He expresses that such treatment is unacceptable, especially for a veteran, and underscores that this was not just a mistake but a civil rights violation and a failure of justice. Retes calls for a full investigation into ICE's actions, accountability for the agents involved, and broader public awareness, emphasizing that the raid hurt U.S. citizens as well as immigrants. The statement ends with his declaration that he will not remain silent. In the bottom-right corner is the United Farm Workers logo and the phrase “Sí se puede.” Generated with BSky AltText CustomGPT.

25 y/o vet George Retes, a citizen, was ICE-napped en route to work—tear-gassed, cuffed, ghosted for 3 days. No charges. No calls. No clue. “Oops” won’t cut it. The Empire eats its own. Fnords howl. Chaos knows the truth: this isn’t justice—it’s ritual abuse. Investigate everything. 🌀🇺🇸

Exclusive | Jeffrey Epstein’s Friends Sent Him Bawdy Letters for a 50th Birthday Album. One Was From Donald Trump. The leather-bound book was compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell. The president says the letter ‘is a fake thing.’

Was cancellation of the Colbert show a secret side agreement in CBS parent Paramount's $16 million lawsuit settlement with Trump? Seems like an amazing coincidence if it wasn't.

ICE agents are harassing the courthouse volunteers who assist besieged immigrants "They want to be doing this with no witnesses."

“They don’t want anyone to see how they treat people. They want to be doing this”—their deportations—”with no witnesses.”

July 17, 2025 Five years ago tonight, Georgia Representative John Lewis passed away from pancreatic cancer at the age of 80.

We miss you, John! 🤗

"Representative Lewis once told an audience. “When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, say something! Do something! Get in trouble, good trouble, necessary trouble.”"🎯

No one will be fooled by this. People are asking for the release of the evidence from the Epstein investigation. The grand jury transcripts are something else entirely and would exclude almost all evidence.

CBS has cancelled Colbert. #CBSboysdowntothetyrant

@T-mobile just caved in and dropped all its DEI policies. Maybe it’s time to let them know how we feel about this. It’s disappointing since I’ve had T-mobile service for a long time.

A great #Nokings day in Arlington, Virginia, organized by #Wofa and #indivisible. Over 20 bridges had giant letters spelling out messages and a 5.2 mile stretch of Langston Blvd had thousands of people along the route. Great turnout Arlington! Now we have to work on what’s next!

Thinking of cancelling my #AARP membership since they are not doing anything to save social security. Will call them Monday.

Privatization at USPS The US Postmaster General continues to make moves that spark concerns for USPS union leaders, as workers receive a mass email touting the benefits of the US Postal Service going private.

SCOOP: The USPS Union President has sent out an email to employees warning them of impending privatization concerns after Elon Musk moves to fire 10,000 postal workers.

Read the full email here: shero.substack.com/p/privatizat...

ICE detained Julio Noriega, a 54 year-old US citizen who was born in Chicago, for over 10 hours on January 31st.

He was walking around "Berwyn, Illinois, handing out his resume to local businesses."

They didn't show him a warrant.

They didn't give him paperwork.

And he's now suing.

Let Them Eat Art? Elon Musk and his allies in the Trump administration are ending most U.S. foreign-assistance programs. But until recently, there was still money for decorating.

Just to answer Elon Musk's question about who funds us: You do.

There’s another recess coming up and Republicans are going to do everything they can to avoid their constituents. We won’t let them get away with it. Chip in to help make this the biggest recess yet: secure.actblue.com/donate/indiv...

The vibes are not with Virginia GOP right now

The wildcards are Trump and Musk

You would think the less involved, the better for GOP

But Musk can write big checks and Virginia doesn’t have campaign limits

One reason don’t think Dems should take anything for granted

Share this if you stand with democracy

I showed up at USAID today where the Trump admin forced staff to vacate all belongings from the building in 15 min. Thanks to all who showed up in solidarity on this tough day. This is where I got my start two decades ago, and I won’t stop fighting for our public servants.
