When a judge told Claudio David Balcane González “Welcome to the United States,” he sobbed. He had finally been granted asylum. Then ICE detained him for 63 more days @marialuisapaul.bsky.social reports www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

I.C.E. is dialing 911 to report nonexistent threats, to trick local police into responding—to sic police on news reporters trying to report on I.C.E. (a clear First Amendment violation) and/or ultimately assisting I.C.E. in whatever is happening with the people I.C.E. is terrorizing. Brutal stuff.

FDA warns public about eating radioactive shrimp from Walmart

This is so dumb and hostile and dangerous. The reason these Guard members are trying to rapidly qualify with pistols is because they don't normally carry them and they're not trained to use them. Just a total slapdash operation thrown together. They're trying to quickly turn soldiers into cops.

"Meeting, exchanging ideas, sharing thoughts are part of the resistance struggle. If we do not resist and if we do not equip ourselves with the means to resist, we are, in a sense, dead. One might wonder if it is not too late, but in this fight, defeatism has no place."

The cruelty is the point

Journalists in Gaza pre-prepare their last messages to broadcast to the world in the event that they are killed by Israel. Anas Al-Sharif wasn’t even 30. What does that say about our world?

"The Latest Government Gift to Big Tech and Corporate Power" Lawmakers claim new age verification laws are about ‘child safety’ – but, in reality, they expand surveillance and silence dissent, writes for @taylorlorenz.bsky.social for Zeteo.

Life comes at you fast

Federal agents violently detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a D.C. coffee shop Saturday morning. The incident captured on video showed the officers throwing him to the ground and beating him before sweeping him away in an unmarked vehicle. wapo.st/45Egtkc

You know you’re winning when you post “We are NOT the Gestapo!”

BREAKING: The Trump administration just announced it has filed charges against Rep. LaMonica McIver, who was demanding accountability on behalf of the people she was elected to represent. President Trump is trying to bully people into silence. We won’t let him.

Make it make sense

So Rubio is lying?

Imma say it because it’s starting to spread and folks need it spelled out Saying RAS Baraka is protesting is a form of calling him “boy” And if that shocks you Good He’s a seated government individual whose OFFICE grants him the right to inspect ONLY ARRESTING HIM was a choice

Rümeysa Öztürk has been freed!!

I live rent-free in my ex's head five years out, and I sure wish I didn't. He was creeping my personal socials until I blocked him or deleted my account. Now he periodically peeps my LinkedIn. It's super weird.

@npr.org EXCLUSIVE: The Department of Agriculture is demanding states hand over personal data of food assistance recipients — including Social Security numbers, addresses and, in at least one state, citizenship status, according to emails shared with NPR.

We're cooked.

there really is no alternative to tearing up CBP and ICE root and branch

Really need journalists to push back on this bullshit. When they say this, just ask them point blank: "Are you saying that because one Latino man committed a murder, another Latino man deserves a life sentence? Do you think all Latino men interchangeable?"

Dental tourism trip complete. I've got deets if anyone else is looking to spend a week in Playacar. I kinda figured things would be better in Mexico, but now I can report from experience that they are.

they want you to have kids but they also imposed tariffs that will make the already expensive baby industry even more expensive 🙃

Chat is this bad?

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

I'm not surprised Florida is still a cesspool. I live here; I didn't need an election result to prove it. 🫠

*gazes wistfully out a window*

As more information is revealed, it is clear that the cover-up is even worse than the crime. Every single person involved has no business being involved in our government. At minimum, there should be resignations. And prosecutions.

A key point is this-when did Hegseth classify/declassify this stuff. They want us to focus on Waltz adding Goldberg to the chat. That’s bad, but it’s not the bigger story. Hegseth claims no classified material went out. So did he NEVER classify it, or did he declassify it & when?

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

You truly could not make it up. You could not.

JFC IRAN is calling out our failures on civil rights. ☠️

Please and thank you.

I don't think any of these idiots understand how many people are barely scraping by as it is.

There is no donut in Florida that even comes close to the perfection that is this lemon pistachio old fashioned from Stan's. It looks so unassuming and even a bit ugly, but it's perfect. I have no idea how they manage to nail the texture every time. I can feel it in my toes when I bite into it.

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

Every single Democratic Senator voted for Marco Rubio as Sec of State!

They disappeared a green card holder and threatened to arrest a citizen. We are in some serious trouble in ‘democratic’ America.

While the State Department CAN revoke *visas* with very little legal process involved, stripping someone of a green card is done by DHS (not the State Department) and requires filing formal charges alleging a violation of immigration law and a removal hearing in front of an immigration judge.

No matter how rough a week you had, just remember that Flavor Flav just finished setting all his clocks forward 1 hour

My void, Kiki. I don't usually let her do this, but she caught me by surprise while I was doom scrolling.
