“it is bonkers, frankly, when you see [what is happening in Charlotte] yourself.”

Jacob Soboroff points out that part of the benefit of the protest training taking place in Charlotte is to defy the narrative that Donald Trump and Stephen Miller want to use to smear the protests as violent and unruly.

Trump and Stephen Miller want to paint protests against their mass deportations as violent and unruly — this was nothing of the sort. youtu.be/_M6MpFyDhus?...

there may well be more citizens showing up here in Charlotte to learn how to peacefully resist Trump’s indiscriminate mass deportation effort than federal agents on the ground here, as we saw firsthand last night.

huge turnout in Charlotte tonight for @siembranc.bsky.social’s “Safe to Work, Safe to School” training for people who want to learn how to protect their neighbors from Trump’s mass deportation effort.

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

Sacramento right now. Huge turnout.

voted. now headed to Sacramento for special Election Night coverage on @msnbc.com. hope you’ll join us.

proud to be a part of this team. ❤️

“They’re out there looking like Buzz Lightyear… they’re fat… just ridiculous. They’re quirky, they’re dorky, they can’t run, they fumble their guns… they can’t even chase after their own cars.”

@eltragon.bsky.social of @lataco.bsky.social on his lack of surprise about ICE’s recruitment issues.

“If you do not measure it you can’t manage it.”

We may never know the final cost of the L.A. fires because Trump stopped keeping track.

“We’re here peacefully protesting, looking as ridiculous as we can, just so maybe we appeal to the president because he’s a ridiculous leader that is normalizing abuse of power. And we cannot stand and act like nothing is happening.” 🦄

worst of the worst?

here’s more context to the videos DHS is putting out from Chicago.

for over four months I’ve reported as Trump has put troops and federal agents in cities across America. more than ever I’m seeing and hearing from people pushing back — standing up for immigrants, democracy and members of our military who don’t want this.

more here: youtu.be/BIjw-vrte98?...

Trump says migrants drive violent crime in Illinois. But ICE can’t find many violent criminals. Masked ICE agents and other federal forces showed up in Chicago to go after gangsters. Instead, they keep catching people who are just living their lives.

The government’s own data and detentions like the ones we reported on in Chicago raise serious doubt about whether the Trump administration’s mission is to target “the worst of the worst” at all. New reporting from @msnbc.com. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

"It is truly sickening to speak to somebody who raised three boys to go into the Marines because of how much he loved and believed in this country, only to be treated like that."

@jacobsoboroff.bsky.social discusses Narciso Barranco, ICE, and more with @timmiller.bsky.social on today's Bulwark Pod

"Her mother died suddenly. And so Nori, 18 years old, was in a country that she didn't know, without the family that she grew up with, with basically no place to go and nothing to do."

@jacobsoboroff.bsky.social talks the reality of Trump's immigration policy with @timmiller.bsky.social:

"She said to me after that - Samantha, 21 years old - all my life I've prepared for this moment. All my life, my mom, 53 years old, who was just going to get meat for a stew, has told me one day this could come."

“Military occupation doesn’t make our city safer. Resources and investment makes our city safer.” thank you Bri and all the other protestors who took the time to speak with me last night in Chicago.
