Being undocumented is a civil offense, not a criminal one. Trespassing, vandalism, & shoplifting are criminal offenses, yet, thankfully, we don’t have violent squads of masked goons terrorizing our communities for those *real* crimes. Wake up, America.

Blanche warns lawyers who criticize Justice Department DOJ’s No. 2 official said says prosecutors see "inconsistency" in attorneys’ private pleas and public commentary.

A remarkable threat from the Deputy AG: DOJ’s No. 2 official suggested Thursday that lawyers might have a harder time winning lenient treatment for corporate clients if they’ve publicly accused the Trump administration of being lax on white-collar crime www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

DOJ’s new push to recruit β€œDeportation Judges” isn’t just a staffing change. As Kerry Doyle explains, shifting judicial titles to signal predetermined outcomes is a hallmark of authoritarian systems throughout history. Read her article on Substack. #holdfast

We are after the same result, so I'm going to apologize for being negative. I still am not one to go on supposition and images, but I respect your efforts and your goal.

@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE. Today, they are currently running two trainings in Brooklyn and the Bronx, both of which hit capacity because interest was so high.

This is the way, y’allβ€”we protect each other, and we know it.

The wealth of the top 1% reaches a record $52 trillion All wealth groups saw gains over the past year, according to recent Fed data. But the growth has been fastest for those at the very top.

Give me one single justifiable reason they should not be paying taxes on all of their income at the same rate as the rest of us?

There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented.

ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams β€œI am a US citizen,”.

Why is ICE harassing women?
