Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

Speaker Johnson, you ready to swear me in?

Tim Walz: "Here's what I'd challenge Trump to do: find three soybean farmers who will stand with you and say that's okay. Just three. I challenge you to do that because you're not gonna find them."

I understand the sentiment — but Boston still is in the 🇺🇸. Who in his right mind would visit right now unless it is unavoidable?

Boston looks forward to welcoming the world to our beautiful city, the cradle of liberty and city of champions.

George Floyd should still be here to celebrate his 52nd birthday. His life sparked a movement, and our fight for justice, accountability, and humanity continues. We’ll never stop saying his name.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Thanks goodness Pete Hegseth is eliminating political correctness and letting warriors be warriors*

Will there be the necessity to deal with ICE animation requests?

He has to uphold the pretext that he is a believer given his Christian Nationalist supporters. I don't think he believes in hell.

And he probably realises he will die soon (no medbeds available).

‘Did I as a reporter solicit information? Of course. It's called journalism: finding out what's really going on behind the scenes and not accepting wholesale what any government or administration says.’

Trump is no longer even pretending to have any kind of argument that his murdering of people in the Caribbean Sea has any kind of statutory validity. Just straight up declaring that he has quasi-unlimited power to execute people based on (nominal) suspicion.

My theory is: He wants to 🧟ise as many military personnel as possible.

He'll need them to tear down America.

A reminder in light of the recent Politico piece on the Young Republicans‘ horrendous chat group

You can’t burn your bridges with people who are committed to racism. The bridges never existed in the first place. That’s hard to understand for people who don’t have to navigate at least one situation a week where they or their loved ones are treated as subhuman. But it’s true.

Anyone familiar with the political culture of the Trumpian GOP will not be surprised by this reporting on today's Young Republicans, but all decent human beings will be appalled by it.

those NYTcontroversial opinions

Bei vielen vermutlich schon. Allerdings wird sich kaum jemand um die praktische Umsetzung Gedanken gemacht haben

In dem Zusammenhang: Wie steht es nun mit der Entwaffnung / Auswanderung der Hamasmitglieder im / aus dem Gazastreifen? Wie sahen die konkreten Schritte im ursprünglichen Biden-Plan aus?

ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents.

This anonymous denial of due process is deadly.

Good morning everyone
So thankful the Israeli hostages are released

But today
We also have HOSTAGES right here in America

The Epstein Survivors being held hostage by Trump, Johnson, and Republicans

Swear in Adelita Grijalva
Release the Epstein Files
#EpsteinFiles

one response to this (correct) observation is to say “well, the cops will attack you no matter how you dress and behave.” that’s right. images of cops and ICE beating grandmas and kids in inflatable frog costumes is a win for the opposition.
