a significant reason this is happening is because out of a combination of partisanship and cowardice Congress has essentially abdicated its constitutional role in the republic

An 84-year-old couple who lives in the neighborhood surrounding the ICE building in Portland joined the protest because it was so obviously peaceful and proper they didn't expect any violence from the feds. Then they were hit in the head with a projectile fired at them, gassed, and knocked down...

Federal agents knock down elderly couple during Portland protest An 84-year-old said she sustained a concussion and was hit with a projectile after she and her husband, a Vietnam vet, were knocked down by federal officers.

This is what the protest yesterday was like. It was insane watching ICE charge at elderly, children, and everybody else when all we were doing was saying chants, most of us on the other side of the street from the facility.

As someone who lives in Portland, let me tell you the military helicopter (probably a Black Hawk) I've been hearing performatively roaring over my neighborhood at 10 PM at night is far, far, far more fucking annoying & aggravating than anything antifa is supposedly doing in that one block downtown.

He's going to try to burn Portland down and blame antifa.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

We cannot rest. The President is abusing his power, attempting to militarize our cities. The power of the people must remain greater than the people in power. We need to show up in peaceful protest across this nation. Stay Loud!

Every Democrat at every level of office must denounce this madness Monday morning. Has to be huge outcry. We need to be incredibly loud.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

Is it good when federal judges have to schedule Sunday night 10 pm hearings about absurd military invasions of their state.

1/ This is so f'ing outrageous. You cannot safely restrain people on their stomachs. They're going to kill people.

This is very well known now.

wrote this line yesterday:

"If President Trump were, in other words, trying to instigate some kind of national divorce, it is hard to imagine what he would be doing differently than this."

Trump is trying to provoke a civil war.

Judge: That's what I'll do. Prohibit federalization or deployment of any NG troops into Oregon. For all reasons in prior opinion. Deployment of federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, violating Title 10, section 12406. I also find it's likely that defendants violate 10th Amendment.

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

I'm no social media expert, and certainly don't have any experience with the incredible challenge it must be to run a system like this, but ...

I feel like "we prioritize the experience of trans people over that of transphobes, who we don't have to tolerate" isn't a tough standard to set.

ICE agents arrest Alderperson Jessie L. Fuentes (26th Ward of Chicago city council) after she questions them on whether they have a signed judicial warrant to arrest a person at Humboldt Park Hospital.

“He has Constitutional rights.”

“No.”

ICE’s exact mindset: no one is allowed any rights now.

The lesson of the Trump era is to stick with your principles. He’s coming for you anyway, whether you do or not, so you might as well stick to your principles so people don’t laugh at you afterward and you can look yourself in the mirror.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

Presidents? SCOTUS gives them immunity.

Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute.

Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections.

But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents.

The legacy of the Roberts court.

Whoa. The criminal charge was for failure to file a change of address under 8 USC 1306(b), which makes it a crime for any noncitizen (of any legal status) to fail to register a change of address with the government within 10 days of moving.

Unheard of to charge for that.

The FBI agents who searched Perv-A-Lago agreed to come in plain clothes and without any identifying gear.

Help Rodney Taylor, a Disabled Double Amputee Being Held by ICE Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.

Rodney Taylor still needs our help!

He’s still locked in an ICE camp.

He’s still going without his new prosthetic legs.

He’s still facing deportation to Liberia.

He’s still having necessary disability accommodations ignored.

Please keep sharing his story. Public pressure works!

Supreme Court lets Noem end legal status for many Venezuelans in the U.S. The majority gave virtually no reasoning. The Democratic appointees objected, but only Justice Jackson wrote: "[Y]et another grave misuse of our emergency docket."

Really, though, I was working for quite a while on my SCOTUS report, so it's fine. All in a day's work. [These days.]

The "Trump tried to murder everyone in Congress" part is not talked about that much but I feel like its central to understanding how fucking insane our political system is right now.

The soldiers will pretty quickly figure out that this is no warzone and there aren't any of the fabled antifa supersoldiers from 2020 down at the ICE facility.

the secret of the 1000% increase on assaults on ice is 1000% increase of zero is still zero. if they had anything to point to they'd be playing it on loop all day every day instead it's just beating college kids, tackling ice cream vendors living here 20 years, jumping US citizens that speak spanish
