At least 20 communities with large warehouses are stealth targets for massive ICE detention centers. 'There was absolutely no warning' | Fortune In many cases, mayors, county commissioners, governors and members of Congress learned about ICE’s ambitions only after the agency bought or leased space for detainees.

More and more of these warehouse concentration camps are being stealthily planned without the communities themselves having much of a warning. We need to make sure we’re shutting these down where we can

NEW: Hundreds of judges around the country have ruled more than 4,400 times since October that President Donald Trump’s administration is detaining immigrants unlawfully, a Reuters review of court records found.

The government keeps doing it nonetheless.

"Presidents cannot cancel the elections. The elections are in the law...states run elections. There are going to be elections. That’s that.....Trump is not canceling the elections. People should not worry about that."

For those who don't know, this is a finding from 2009 by the EPA which stated greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane are heating the Earth and that warming threatens public health and welfare

After an ICE agent killed Renee Good, the DOJ opened an investigation into her widow’s connections to activist groups. Some DOJ personnel resigned in protest.

We requested their resignation letters to learn more about DOJ’s politicized investigations.

"Whether approved by Congress or not" is certainly not "what our Founders desired."

Nor was a king disguised as a rambling fool.

@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

New SAVE Act Bills Would Still Block Millions of Americans From Voting The β€œshow your papers” requirement is an attack on the freedom to vote.

The SAVE Act would disenfranchise millions of Americans of all ages and races, but younger voters and voters of color would suffer disproportionately. bit.ly/4rA2p4R

Host: So when Donald Trump walked in, there were women in there who weren't fully clothed.

Hughes: Correct. Women were not fully clothed when Donald Trump came in.

Host: And some of those women were, what, as young as 15?

Hughes: Yeah, as 15 years old.

An executive order isn’t the same as a law and can’t by itself change election rules set by Congress. Trump said on Truth Social that there β€œwill be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not,” and that he’d issue an executive order if the SAVE America Act fails.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

What if you knew him?
What if you loved him?
What if you saw him lying dead on the ground?

How do you turn away from that?
How do you look elsewhere?
How do you just keep moving like nothing happened?

No video of a gun β€œbrandished” at ICE soooooo manyyyyyy cameras were out there. Hmmmm…

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth:

β€œICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king.

This isn’t about immigrationβ€”Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

Certain forms of mainstream news are sedative. Here's one. Yesterday in Minneapolis was a big day for this country's history and the current crisis and a heroic demonstration of will, solidarity, and bravery. NYT leads with shopping.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.

Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

Video taken prior to his murder shows Alex Pretti peacefully observing, but an ICE officer begins shoving him. Then multiple ICE officers gang up on him. Moments later, his body is riddled with bullet holes.
