YouTube video by PBS NewsHour WATCH: Minneapolis resident and U.S. citizen Aliya Rahman describes being detained by ICE

I’m sharing Aliya’s entire opening statement. We owe it to her, and those who no longer have a voice, to watch. youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?...

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.

They’ve also appointed people to run it who have zero experience in arts administration (or so said Ben Folds). I’m guessing even if they had a small number of artists who were willing, they were too incompetent to make it happen.

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

Sorry; I don’t accept this.

In case there was any doubt as to the Trump’s intentions and involvement; he always says the silent part out loud.

Silence, peasants

I'm only mildly joking when I say that if America were already a fascist state, the theaters would be full coast-to-coast for the opening of MELANIA. Because they'd have to be.

They may be aspiring fascists, but fascists don't get chased out of town. This is a good development.

Imagine this in a trial.

Devastating first-hand witness to Alex Pretti's killing

Declaration filed in federal court:

"I don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him."

Senate Dems needn’t come to agreement on everything right now. That’s a path to the lowest common denominator. They simply have to agree to filibuster DHS approps. As to which of a host of anti-brutality and anti-authoritarian proposals to advance, let a thousand flowers bloom.

Bondi seeks Minnesota voter rolls, welfare data to "help bring back law and order" in wake of shootings Attorney General Pam Bondi is pushing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to let the federal government access state voter rolls and welfare data, as tensions flare in Minneapolis after a man was shot and killed ...

If Trump is willing to remove ICE from Minnesota if they hand over their voter rolls, then there really isn't an "emergency" need for them to be there. www.cbsnews.com/news/bondi-m...

Klobuchar: "When they're killing 2 constituents in my state, and they're taking 2 year olds our of the arms of their mom, and they're taking an elder Hmong man out of his house & putting him out there in his underwear & then figuring out the have the wrong man -- no, I'm not voting for this funding"

chip you put this on your website roy.house.gov/media/in-the...

Instead of healthcare, we’re funding this.

Just in case you think only Americans are talking about it…

Since this administration loves to charge people with making false statements (see, e.g., Comey, James), I assume they will be charging Maxwell for lying to Blanche and the FBI agents who interviewed her, right?

Every book published in the United States is sent to the Library of Congress. Also, if you are under 16 you cannot use the reading room or order books.

The administration that called Canada “the 51st state” and said “we’re going to get” Greenland is suddenly cowed by sovereignty.

Let me guess: Trump alone gets to decide which crimes warrant deportation. And, people who are simply “a problem” are “accidentally” sent away. This is terrifying.

Also, I think ppl don’t realize that the extra costs are being compounded when you consider materials being tariffed, the finished product being tariffed, the value of the dollar tanking, and the cost of borrowing going up. It’s almost like Trump has never run a legit business or made anything.

This seems…illegal?

I’ve never seen a tweet that more effectively communicates how we got to this current situation

Can we talk about this in a per-month metric? I think it might be easier for folks to internalize.

It's like having a new $316 bill every single month.

That's a lot of groceries.

Pretty steep climb to a veto-proof majority on this…but that’s what is needed.

Right. If we’re all paying “protection money” it kills margins and desire to do business here. Meanwhile we’re told that we’ll eat Nutellish and we’ll like it (new product made out of chicory and recycled axel grease b/c the real thing is now out of reach).

Plus people seem to be forgetting that not every single thing on earth can be produced here, at least not a level that matches consumption. Where the hell do people think our bananas, avocados, cocoa and coffee are coming from?

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me.

There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine.

The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy
