ICE attempted
and failed to disappear a food delivery guy.
It needed to be scored.

China’s leader, Xi Jinping, presided over a military parade in Beijing on Wednesday featuring fighter jets, missiles and marching troops as he issued a defiant warning to rivals not to challenge his country’s sovereignty. Read more: nyti.ms/4naYIQL

β€œI was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.”

Listen to the survivors.

Over the weekend, the β€œsandwich thrower” posters went up all over DC. Instant icon of resistance.

A remix of Banksy’s mural: not a Molotov, not a rock, but something just as disruptive, a hoagie hurled with defiance.

"There's just a pile on of masked, unidentified federal police....they're so insane in the way that they treat him that one of the cops gets hurt." Real good police work making the streets outside Le Diplomate safer.

ICE’s Spectacle of Intimidation Immigrants showing up for court dates in Manhattan must now navigate past rows of masked federal agents.

Mark Peterson’s black-and-white images of ICE agents evoke film noir and the urban-crime photography of the 1930s and ’40s. β€œIf someone is doing everything right, and then they still get detained, it’s a crime scene,” he said.

What the hell is going on at McArthur Park in Los Angeles, CA! Looks like these militarized thugs are doing some kind of federal disappearing operation on street vendors in the park. This is only going to get worse with the new bloated ICE budget. #UnMaskICE

NEW: Federal agents rolled into MacArthur Park in LA in an unmarked armored vehicle.

My source tells me Mayor Bass showed up with LAPDβ€”and the so-called β€œagents” got the hell out.

Shady AF!

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

Jong-Fast: This would be the largest cut to food assistance in US historyβ€”and it will result in hungry kids.

It’s also important to mention that this bill grows the deficit. I don’t know how it manages to do the two things you absolutely don’t wantβ€”starve children and grow the deficitβ€”but it does.

Crockett: Right now, it seems like you don’t care about the constitution unless it’s the second amendment and that’s misinterpreted as well. There’s other amendments.. And we don’t get to just change it because our fearless leader says that he doesn’t like it

Today in Politics, Bulletin 134. 5/19/25 … US taxpayers will pay the family of J6 insurrectionist Ashli Babbitt nearly $5 million after the Trump admin agreed to settle a wrongful death lawsuit.

AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces β€” and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.

AOC: If anyone is breaking the law in this situation, it’s not members of Congress β€” it’s DHS. It’s people like Tom Homan and Secretary Kristi Noem. You lay a finger on Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman or any of the Representatives that were there… we’re going to have a problem.
