This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

There aren’t many elected officials really leading right now. Pritzker is one.
There aren’t many tv journalists doing must see reports. Soboroff is one. Thank you for your service, guys. We really need you. m.youtube.com/watch?v=-nmi...

The smartest response to fear of immigration you'll ever see.

"The elite need to inflame tension on immigration cause they need someone to blame for the problems THEY'RE causing our socities."

For the first time in polling history, more Americans sympathize with Palestinians over Israelis.

And the shift just isn’t with Democrats.

Younger Republicans — those under 50 — are 41 points less likely than older Republicans to side with Israelis.

Pritzker: “This is a convicted felon…who is threatening to jail me. This guy is unhinged. He's insecure. He's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump: If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me.”

Judge who has been asked to block National Guard deployment in Chicago asks DOJ a key question: What if it's the feds who are provoking the violence, rather than stopping it? DOJ says it doesn't matter.

Trump Fires Black Officials From an Overwhelmingly White Administration

A loud reminder that this administration wants to bring back SEGREGATION as @victorerikray.bsky.social has pointed out and they're starting within the administration.

A literal page out of Woodrow Wilson's playbook. #blacksky #news

DHS released a glossy ICE raid video straight out of an authoritarian playbook: helicopters over Chicago, 900 people swept up, children separated, citizens detained. They call it “Operation Midway Blitz.” I call it despicable state propaganda masking terrorist constitutional crimes.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

It’s actually far worse

We’ve got a president and a Republican Congress who would see the entire government shut down AND billionaires get tax breaks rather than allow Americans to afford their healthcare OR even be able to get medical treatment because their policies are causing hospitals to close

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Feds in military gear flood downtown Chicago, as border chief says people arrested based on 'how they look' While dozens of federal immigration agents took individuals into custody during a winding patrol through downtown Chicago on Sunday, a top U.S. Border Patrol official told WBEZ the agents were arresting people based on “how they look.”

Military service is about courage and sacrifice. That’s what my father, a Marine, and my mother, a Navy veteran, taught me.

But awarding medals for the massacre at Wounded Knee is cruelty, not honor. And reaffirming them today only deepens the injustice. (1/2🧵)

Chart shows Detention Population, Among Those Arrested by ICE in the Interior, by Criminal Record. The chart shows three lines; Prior conviction, pending criminal charges, and no criminal record. From 2019 through September 2025, the largest group is people with criminal convictions, with much further down people with pending charges. But starting in January, those without criminal records spikes dramatically. In July it crossed pending charges and in the latest data it jumps above criminal convictions.

🚨NEW: For the first time in history, the single largest group of people arrested in the interior and sent to ICE detention is people with NO criminal record.

As of yesterday's data release, 40%(!) of those arrested in the interior and detained by ICE had no prior conviction or pending charges.

Des Moines Schools Superintendent Is Detained by ICE

They detained a Black man, of course. More overreach. ICE won't stop. It must be ABOLISHED.

Democrats must run on Abolish ICE. This is a racist, corrupt Gestapo that is terrorizing Americans.

Former FBI Director James Comey indicted days after Trump demanded his DOJ move 'now' to prosecute enemies Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted just days after President Trump issued a public demand for the DOJ to act "now" to prosecute him, sources say.

Let’s spell this out. Trump fired a qualified U.S. attorney who refused to do his bidding and installed his own personal lawyer to punish a perceived opponent. Justice needs to follow the law, not politics.

This is an attack on the rule of law. Full stop.

Donald Trump likely never would've become president the first time if it hadn't been for James Comey.

And now here's Trump, forcing the "Department of Justice" to indict him for a crime.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.
