Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

WT everliving F : DHS busts into a building, rappeling from helicopters, rousting all the residents into the street in various states of distress and bust up their places. We saw this BS during the Charles Stuart investigations - why isn't this bigger news? - chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

You can hear the Benny Hill chase music playing in your head, right?

Thanks to Tracy Novick for pointing this out...this is going to be horrible for FY27 and it will affect ALL public schools. who-cester.blogspot.com/2025/0

Just give him a sharpie so he can rename it to the Ocean of America. 🙄

every article about politics in every mainstream publication is flat out lying to you if it does not emphasize that our government has been taken over by freaks and lunatics

seconded. this hotline is one reason Rümeysa’s case got such quick attention and is worth keeping handy

If Bill Maher is so offended about being compared to Nazi's, maybe he needs to consider the company he keeps. Or interviews.

We need to prepare people to run and then make sure we support them. Especially POC’s, LGBTQIA+ candidates.

After the words “transgender” and “queer” were removed from the National Park Service’s website for the Stonewall National Monument, a landmark of the LGBTQ pride movement in New York City, protesters filled nearby Christopher Park Friday with a simple message: “You can’t erase us.”

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

"...the Americans with Disabilities act is still law, but its effectiveness will be very different in a climate where you need to eliminate accessibility positions to avoid consequences than in a climate where accessibility is a goal."

CITY OF NEWARK = "Today, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents raided a local establishment in the City of Newark, detaining undocumented residents as well as citizens, without producing a warrant. One of the detainees is a U.S. military veteran who suffered the indignity of having the legitimacy of his military documentation questioned. This egregious act is in plain violation of the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees 'the right of the people be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures... "Newark will not stand by idly while people are being unlawfully terrorized. I will be holding a press conference in alliance with partners ready and willing to defend and protect civil and human rights. Details to come."

The Mayor of Newark says ICE detained citizens and a military veteran in a warrantless raid there today. www.newarknj.gov/news/mayor-r...

People on TikTok are reporting ICE raids happening in small cities in various states.

To get past algorithmic censorship, they’re writing down the information on paper and holding up and shuffling through the handwritten signs as they talk about pretend subjects like shopping, food, and animals.

Not cool but expected - if he can't persecute them, he can make them vulnerable.

Don’t say “This isn’t us” because obviously it is. I’m going to do my damnest to protect those I love who are affected by these racist, transphobic policies but you all need to stop this denial BS.

What's with the sudden uptick in cybertrucks? It feels like I see one daily just about. I don't understand the appeal. They look like bad 80's sci fi refugees, and from what I understand, they're dangerous and they don't look particularly fun to drive.

Incredible videos show SpaceX's Flight 7 Starship exploding in sky Dramatic footage showing streaks of light zipping across the sky surfaced online following Elon Musk's Starship explosion over the Atlantic Ocean.

So we're just going to minimize that Elon's space dildo detonated? Maybe should be a bigger news story. www.newsweek.com/spacex-stars...

Is it sad that I’m surprised Bob Uecker died because I swear he’s died three times before?

Would have been better if he had done amnesty, like Reagan and George HW, but why do a good job instead of "just enough"
