I’m just a girl

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Gabbard Whistleblower Complaint Based on Intercepted Conversation About Jared Kushner The substance of the conversation, which covered in part issues related to Iran, isn’t known.

Breaking WSJ:

The highly classified whistleblower complaint against Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is related to a conversation intercepted last spring in which two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

Election denier involved in fake electors plot wrote much of SAVE America Act, Trump-aligned think tank claims “I’m here to do everything I can to make this work,” Thomas Lane wrote in a December 2020 email to other organizers of the Trump campaign’s fake electoral plot in Arizona.

🚨BREAKING: An election-denying former Donald Trump campaign staffer who was subpoenaed by the FBI over his role in the attempt to steal the 2020 election is now taking credit for writing the sweeping voter suppression bill passed by the House Wednesday that could disenfranchise millions.

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

USCIS has an office by mine in south Denver. They have a large parking lot full of brand new black Suburbans lined up. Looks like they are getting ready to ramp things up in Denver.

When the Post announced it was not going to endorse a candidate prior to the election, I argued with you all not to cancel your subscriptions in protest... I said the institution was vital, the news side would continue to do great work, and was worthy of your support.

Excellent news.

One more comment on the Post debacle: this hurts journalism broadly. Good journalists will go do something else. The rest will be fighting for fewer jobs and everyone will earn less. Fewer people will take up the career. The damage done is to the ecosystem, as well as the paper.

Every week it's something new. Epstein, ICE, grift, destroy another American institution. It's fukkin exhausting and it doesn't seem like anyone, R or D is doing a damn thing about it. I think we're gonna have to save ourselves, no one is coming to help. I'll never give up the fight, we can do this!

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

ICE bypasses El Paso medical examiner for autopsy on migrant ICE bypassed the county medical examiner in favor of a military facility for the autopsy of a Nicaraguan man and won’t release a ruling to the public.

2 weeks ago, the El Paso Medical Examiner ruled the death of a Cuban ICE detainee a homicide.

This time, when a 32-year-old Nicaraguan man died, ICE bypassed the county medical examiner in favor of a military facility. They won’t publicly release a ruling.

OpenAI's CFO suggested that the government could be a "backstop" if they can’t pay their bills.

YOUR tax dollars as their "backstop."

Meanwhile, OpenAI pays its employees an average of $1.5 MILLION dollars a year in stock compensation.

Wow.

That's just wrong.

SOME GOP LAWMAKERS PUSH TREASURY TO BUY BITCOIN Senator Cynthia Lummis has suggested Bessent buy Bitcoin using U.S. gold reserves. She told reporters last year she raised the idea with him and would support action under existing executive authority.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Post says one-third of its staff across all departments, not just the newsroom, is being laid off.

"I'd like to share a story from a local paper in Coldwater, Michigan dated to the 9th of April, 1945. It tells how the US Army, under General Patton--the US 3rd Army--came onto what you might call a detention center just outside the village of Ohrdruf, Germany. The US Army brought the leading citizens of Ohrdruf to tour the facility, which turned out to be part of the Buchenwald network of concentration camps. A US Army colonel told the German civilians who viewed the scenes, without muttering a word, that they were to blame. One of the Germans replied that what happened in the camp was (quote) 'done by a few people, and you cannot blame us all.' And the American, who could have been any one of our grandfathers, said, 'this was done by those that the German people chose to lead them, and all are responsible.' The morning after the tour, the Mayor of Ohrdruf killed himself. And maybe he did not know the full extent of the outrages that were committed in his community, but he knew enough. And we don't know exactly how ICE will use this warehouse. But we know enough. I ask you to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf might have thought before he died. Maybe he felt like a victim. He might have thought, 'how is this my fault? I have no jurisdiction over this.' Maybe he would have said, 'this site was not subject to local zoning, what could I do?' But I think, when he reflected on the suffering that occurred at this camp, just outside of town, that those words would have sounded hollow even to him. Because in his heart he knew--as we do--that we are all responsible for what happens in our community. I urge the council to take action to stop, or stall, or at the barest minimum to think creatively about how to exercise oversight over this proposed ICE facility. Thank you."

This is brilliant. I'm so grateful for this testimony. I've transcribed it to use in letters I'm writing. Sharing the full transcription here (see alt text to copy/paste it):

Walz demands DHS stop detaining Minnesota children In a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Walz demanded details about how many Minnesota kids are in detention facilities.

They’re taking children from Minnesota and locking them up like criminals in detention camps in Texas.

For the love of God, send our kids home and bring an end to this nightmare.

If you're rich you get a tax cut, if you're not you have to work longer and harder. Populism! bsky.app/profile/atru...

COLLINS: On the Epstein files, Elon Musk was in there and so was Howard Lutnick. Did you read those new files?

TRUMP: No. I have a lot of things I'm doing. I don't know. You mentioned two names. I'm sure they're fine. I think it's time for the country to get on to something else.

Grocery price inflation is picking up, defying Trump's claims. Here's why. Food prices are rising at their fastest monthly pace since 2022, data showed.

Coffee up 20%.

Ground beef up 15.5%.

While Republicans give $75 billion to ICE, costs for “household staples are soaring,” new data shows.

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.

June 10, 2024 – tRump said he would declassified & release the Epstein files

"I don't know about Epstein so much as I do the others. Certainly about the way he died. It'd be interesting to find out what happened there, because that was a weird situation & the cameras didn't happen to be working.

Wave goodbye to elections, America.

That's it for you.

March, kick and scream...
It's to no avail.
And you know it.

It's going to cost you, either way.

But the world will only watch as you plummet into the darkness, of a toppled empire.

We all tried to warn...
We fires hoping to motivate.
