My wife shared this with me and I’m tellin you… it’s worth the read.

New Zealand woman and six-year-old son detained for three weeks by Ice in US enduring ‘terrifying’ ordeal Sarah Shaw, who has a US visa and lives in Washington state, was detained after attempting to re-enter US from Canada

This is appalling. Civilized countries look at us and are rightly horrified that this idiocy and cruelty is sanctioned by--encouraged by--our government.

(I originally wrote "Other civilized countries look at us..." But do we any longer count in their ranks?)

Doing business with slavers is how #slavery is allowed to exist.

eg. if no airline sold tickets to Trump officials transporting abducted Americans shackled & deported without due process and against their 5th & 14th Amendment Rights,
then far fewer ppl would have been deported to date

Our loyal resistors show up in the heat and turn out to resist the cruelty of #Avelo and the DHS policies on Due process of immigrants. We stand for liberty and justice for all

Upset at budget airline’s role in ICE deportations, 100 rally at BWI The protesters said they wanted to pressure the airline and discourage people from flying with Avelo.

Avelo CEO said they made the decision to assist in disappearing people to “help stabilize its finances.” Meanwhile, they had to shut down their entire west coast commercial operation. Turns out fueling fascism isn’t popular. Kudos to these groups who protested #Avelo at BWI. #GoodTrouble #EyesonICE

WHAT WERE ONCE TRAINS - Nazis loading JUDEN onto Boxcars HAVE BECOME PLANES - ICE Goons loading anyone onto planes to El Salvador

If Democrats truly want to appeal to young men, they should probably start presenting themselves as the party that definitively *won’t* draft you into an illegal war.

Hidden in the “Big Beautiful Bill” … Many things are hidden there but this is one of the worst..

Today, Israel will starve to death 14000 babies. That is the reason these people got shot. Israel ≠ Jewish. killing Israelis ≠ anti-semitism.

The same people who went apoplectic when asked to wear a mask to *protect people* in a pandemic eagerly wear one to *kidnap people* in Gestapo cosplay.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

Thank you.

That’s exactly right. And everyone’s like, but what is he thinking? What’s his motivation? As if there’s some rationality there and we can adjust ourselves accordingly.

The modern Gestapo is here.

Apropos of nothing, according to a FOIA request in 2020, Stephen Miller's government email address was Stephen.miller@who.eop.gov.

Do with that information whatever (legal things) you will.

Me too. Weirder still, last cycle I got texts and calls for my mother on my phone, and my mother had recently died.

I hate that the thanks for donating to a Democratic candidate is having my phone number sold on a list to a hundred other campaigns, all of whom send me passive-aggressive texts asking for my donation, often weirdly attempting a guilt trip, as though I knew them. I really don’t like that.

After handing the newborn to a neighbor, the daughter kicked the car, police said. The girl managed to initially evade police officers, who are then seen chasing and restraining her on the ground as she screams, according to separate footage captured by NBC Boston.

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka.

They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

@kirstengillibrand.bsky.social Gillibrand doesn’t answer her constituents’ letters. Her staff doesn’t answer the phone. But you can leave a message! She still needs to hear from us.

@schumer.senate.gov Ever notice that Schumer doesn’t have staff answer letters or answer the phone? Sometimes it’s worth calling and leaving a message just to say GET MORE STAFF.
