7-Year-Old Migrant Girl Dies Of Dehydration And Shock In U.S. Border Patrol Custody The girl's death underscores the crisis precipitated by large groups of families seeking asylum where there are inadequate facilities to detain them.

CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old.

“8 hours after the girl & her father were taken into custody, she began having seizures & her body temperature was measured at 105.7 degrees by emergency medical technicians. shorturl.at/d2OTJ

If there are any cis gays, literally ANY, who did not see this coming the moment the Trump administration started coming after trans people, identify yourselves so I can post angry RuPaul's Drag Race GIFs at you

To repeat.

And to repeat:

The political faction saying we must all have to log legal ID before speaking or accessing speech on the Internet,

and the political faction who believe transgenderism is a dangerous mental contagion that spreads by speech about transgenderism,

are the same faction.

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

It’s weird how the “if you haven’t done anything wrong then you don’t have anything to worry about” crowd is trying to illegally shield what they’re doing from journalists who are acting 100% within their rights and the law.

Congresswoman @ayannapressley.bsky.social has been trying to get qualified immunity eliminated her ENTIRE career.

What the fuck is it going to take to get people to listen to her?

a lot of Democratic officials have asked the protesters to be careful to not "give Trump what he wants" and I think it's fair to ask them to do likewise

Free advice to any non-partisan celebrity who wants to speak out - saying "Trump is a mess/ a joke/ incompetent/ can't manage the economy/ the economy sucks etc" is a more effective use of your platform than saying "Trump is an evil brutal authoritarian" even tho it's true and more important

Once you start noticing it you can't stop: when the real Trump falters and is incapable of defending his administration (more and more frequent) the actual Trump is "subbed out" of news coverage for an invented, imaginary, often explicitly hypothetical version of Trump who is reasonable and cogent

Looking forward to hosting the World Cup in a couple months!

there we go

It's not an either/or.

Noem and Miller should both be gone.

They earned that result since at least March 15, 2025.

Seeing many smart people saying that Miller is the real power and that he is the person who needs to go. And sure, this is true. But I don't hear the HOW. What is the leverage that exists to force his ouster?

Few regular people know who he is. There hasn't been a concerted effort to make him known

Democrats should go for Steven Miller's head while the momentum is on their side. Tell everyone that he's the real president and Trump just does what he says because he has old-man pudding brain.

This is a good thread, and also a reminder that "kindly" enforcing hateful, racist systems is still hateful and racist. There's no tone that ICE or Noem or JDV or DJT can strike that will change the truth about what they're doing.

the media and democratic senators operate like the entire world revolves around conservatives

one of the distinctions of the South, as opposed to Rome or much of Chinese history, is that it *lied* about the rape of slaves instead of treating it as a mundane reality.

Following the killing of AFGE Member Alex Pretti and the subsequent slanderous rhetoric that followed from top Trump administration officials, AFGE National President Everett Kelley issued the following statement: “Yesterday, AFGE brought together labor and faith leaders from Minneapolis and across the nation to mourn our fallen brother from Local 3669, Alex Pretti. We honored his life and legacy and lifted up his family, his friends, his union, Minneapolis, and our nation in prayer. “Today, we demand accountability. “In the immediate aftermath of Alex’s killing, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem betrayed the public trust by slandering the good name of our union brother and calling him a “domestic terrorist.” Alex Pretti was a patriotic ICU nurse at a VA hospital who devoted his life to serving America’s veterans. That claim was reckless, defamatory, and unsupported by the facts. Noem was preceded in this false statement by Stephen Miller, Deputy White House Chief of Staff, who is also the architect of the chaotic and failed immigration policy in Minnesota. “Our demand is clear: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who was responsible for carrying out the policy that led to Alex’s needless killing, and Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, the architect of that policy, must resign immediately. If they refuse, President Trump must dismiss them.

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents border patrol officers at the National Border Patrol Council, calls on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to resign or be fired

"You know Bovino leaving won't st..." Yes I fucking know. I shipped 800 whistles across the country today. I'll ship another 500 tomorrow. I will not stop until they are stopped and also I will take the fucking W when one of their top fash fucks gets the boot.

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL:

When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

Bovino’s retirement needs to be a cage. His command environment yielded Renee Good’s death, Alex Pretti’s death & Julio Sosa-Celis’ shooting. Failure to prosecute Bovino & everyone else materially responsible for these atrocities will be understood by ICE, CBP, etc as a green light for the next ones

The Trump admin is scrambling because the secret police it sends out for kidnappings and rioting has been killing people on video then brazenly lying about it, but Schumer's instinct is to whip his caucus into taking a position *more conservative* than that held by the median voter.

He's got to go.

Think part of it was just experience, he was obviously more used to public ridicule and scorn in a way Harris was not. But this is why we also need to discount the value of just saying the right things. The policy is what matters.

While glad to see Bovino humbled, I really don’t have any higher opinion of Homan—a cruel, cold, corrupt, calculating bureaucrat who’s devoted more of his career to mass deportation than almost anyone. He’s the architect of child separation.

The brilliant organization in Minneapolis was key, the multiple videos were a godsend & the clear, unfussy headlines and instant, lucid media analysis of the video was also crucial, to spread the word— w/out activism, documentation & media all fully functional, nobody will know about these tragedies

There is no hand good enough to prevent Schumer from folding; only a slap upside the head is enough to accomplish that

Seeing some takes like "Republicans are gonna outflank Dems to the left on DHS" and id probably be more worried about that if "99% of House Republicans vote for the DHS funding bill and only 3% of Dems do" hadn't happened like five days ago
