Bynum Demands End to ICE Raids After U.S. Citizen Allegedly Abducted by Masked Agents Bynum compares ICE’s conduct to U.S. Marshals hunting down Black Americans under the Fugitive Slave Act. By Anthony Effinger October 09, 2025 3:34PM PDT One of the ICE agents who apprehended Frank Miranda, a U.S. citizen, on Oct. 2, 2025 (courtesy of Frank Miranda). (Frank Miranda)

U.S. Rep. Janelle Bynum (D-Ore.) called on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to stop abducting her constituents, a week after ICE agents apprehended a Milwaukie man born in California on his way to work and detained him for part of the day. “These ICE raids are reminiscent of the Fugitive Slave Act, when the U.S. Marshals would hunt down and kidnap Black Americans,” Bynum said in a statement. “That was a dark and shameful time in our nation’s history—we must not allow that to repeat. Masked federal agents aren’t welcome in our state and they can’t keep kidnapping Americans.” https://www.wweek.com/news/2025/10/09/bynum-demands-end-to-ice-raids-after-us-citizen-allegedly-abducted-by-masked-agents/

This kind of kidnapping, whether it's otherwise law-abiding undocumented workers, or 🇺🇸 citizens, ICE thugs act like they get a bounty per head (they already get a $50K signing bonus), these goons would have been slave catchers back in the day.

Screenshot of tweets. Mike Madrid writes: “Joe Biden was criticized for a Chinese balloon flying over our airspace. They’re giving Qatar an entire f’ing air base.” Below, Aaron Rupar’s tweet quotes Pete Hegseth saying on Fox News: “I’m also proud that today we’re signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho.”

Guess that Qatari jet wasn’t a “gift” to Trump after all.

This speaks for its self.

I think that what we can infer is that insider trading is rampant, there is an expectation that if you are onside with the administration you will not be prosecuted for it, and there is a belief this admin will not be leaving, so YOLO.

“Catholic Girls Are Easy” first came to life on my piano in East Nashville, and though it now exists in full band mode on my new LP, its first incarnation was as a stripped back track I recorded at Sound City in Los Angeles, with Benmont Tench on piano.

ICE’s Shadow War on Women Criminals are now impersonating masked ICE agents to kidnap and assault women

Masked men posing as ICE agents are kidnapping and assaulting women—taking advantage of the chaos and fear Trump's detention and deportation policies have fostered. Guest writer Cammy Pedroja exposes how Trump’s fear-driven immigration crackdown is endangering immigrant women.

The only hope I've found is fostering a community of individuals who are anti-AI and ardently supporting each other. Opt out of AI every time you can.

DOJ Deletes Study Showing Domestic Terrorists Are Most Often Right Wing Following Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the Trump administration’s promise to go after the “radical left” a study showing most domestic terrosim is far-right was disappeared.

The Dept. of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the U.S.

A reporter just asked the U.S. president a perfectly legitimate question about his attorney general's vow to prosecute people for constitutionally protected speech.

He responded by threatening to prosecute the reporter.

The threat itself is an abuse of power. It ought to be an impeachable offense.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton Is Outsourcing More of His Office’s Work to Costly Private Lawyers Despite having an office of hundreds of attorneys, Ken Paxton is frequently opting for private lawyers — many to whom he has personal or political ties — to argue on behalf of Texas. One attorney cost...

#ICYMI: Texas AG Ken Paxton hired a former staffer to work on a recent case. As a state employee, her labor would have cost taxpayers $641.

As a private attorney, Paxton allowed her to bill $3,780 an hour, so that day of work cost taxpayers $24,570.

Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor.

Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.
