Worth noting for those at home that ICE really doesn’t gain any new “bed space” from this purchase. These sites already operate as immigration “jails.” This was 100% a $1.5 billion dollar move to sidestep state laws.

Our tax dollars at work! 🫤

I mean, Philadelphia beating the Royals on July 4 is a little too on the nose.

The security guard at the door:

Cade Cavalli is racist garbage & the umpires are too for not ejecting him. Unbelievable. I love baseball but the MLB had better sanction this asshole because doing nothing is implicitly condoning this shit.

if you don’t think some asshole softball dad will humiliate a cisgender girl for hitting an oppo bomb off their daughter by challenging their gender you have never met a youth sports parent in your life.

I'm so thankful to Becky and her mom for their trust, generosity, and strength in front of the Supreme Court. No matter what the Court says, Becky is a hero for standing up for herself and trans girls like her. Doing what's right, even when the odds are against you, is the definition of courage.

Guaranteed: 1) Black girls will be harassed and demanded to be tested over and over again regardless of how competitive they are. 2) Winners from public schools will be relentlessly hounded by the parents and coaches of losers at private schools, with the goal of making them quit the sport.

In a sane world (an alt reality) today's dissents would sufficient to warrant Thomas, Gorsuch and Alito's impeachment and removal from office. If you defy the plain words, meaning, intent, history, precedent of a black letter constitutional injunction u are abusing your power and should be removed.

*nodding solemnly with full comprehension* yes, I see. there’s a special kind of kid who can’t play sports or go to the bathroom

Been waiting for this story. ICE deports people to Venezuela three times a week, there are likely many more recent deportees with valid asylum claims in the rubble. Hope that GlobalX crew loses some sleep knowing they flew a planeload of shackled men & women, plus seven children, to their deaths.

this is like the roccocco period for corruption

With Elon Musk becoming our first trillionaire, I talked to American users of the rapidly growing “Almost Homeless” subreddit, who are struggling to stay housed amid a brutal job market and with social services slashed to the bone. They say this online community is crucial to their mental stability.

Reposting because they still have a ways to go to meet the goal. This is horrifying bullshit on top of a lot of already horrifying bullshit.

If you’re as horrified by the fascist regime’s attack on the rights of Haitian immigrants as I am, here’s one way to help. Demand your Senators vote for a bill extending their Temporary Protected Status at this link. The bill already passed the House (with 10 Republicans voting for it)!

what if they fought back against republicans instead

If you look at Des’s face and think they look like a lovely human being, you are 100% correct. Absolute sweetheart who deserves none of this. None of them do.

Two ICE agents tracked down a woman *inside a polling place* yesterday. Why? They demanded that she take down an Instagram post in which she named Jonathan Ross as the man who shot & killed Renee Good (after the Star Tribune identified Ross). www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

At least 12 states break down SNAP program participation by age, and of the 1,670,011 people who are no longer receiving benefits in those states, 776,134, or 46%, were children. Read our full investigation: https://propub.li/4eB1PPb

Last month mom’s memory care called me for permission to install of an AI monitor in her room. I declined, as did a lot of other families. Yesterday when I visited I noted that they had been installed in every room, with a little plaque on each door reading “room under electronic surveillance” 1/

A cartoonist named Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada was tried as a terrorist and sentenced to 30 years in prison for having anti-Trump comics in his car. Prosecutors connected him to a 2025 anti-ICE protest he didn't even attend because he was in the same book club as others who were.

I also think people should notice and remember that no Democratic politician is talking about Prairieland.

NEW: Eight protesters who the DOJ accused of having connections to antifa were sentenced to decades in prison over a shooting outside a Texas immigration detention center that left one police officer wounded. Activists who didn’t plan the protest and left when asked still received 50-year terms.

The sentences handed down today in Texas are a threat to the possibility of a democratic society. The prosecution is rife with constitutional violations, but 30 years in prison (more than anyone for January 6) for moving some magazines? 50 years for those not involved in even planning the protest?

“The Trump administration and the media had demonized Antifa all through the first Trump term, and even more aggressively in the second. This concept of terrorism tends to become politicized, particularly when government officials intentionally politicize it.”

We've updated this story to reflect today's shocking sentencing hearing, with many defendants receiving the maximum sentence for their charges.

Elon Musk says that if people were dying because USAID was destroyed there would be news articles about it. Here are the articles.

Far harsher sentences than the worst J6ers, who are free today: “Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys who was convicted of seditious conspiracy, was sentenced to 22 years in prison. Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the far-right group the Oath Keepers, was sentenced to 18 years in prison.”

Judge O’Connor stated from the bench that he is giving maximum sentences to the Prairieland sentences because “the state wants to send a message to anyone who shares a similar ideology.”

Pay attention friends. This is a test case to punish anyone they deem “antifa” and to silence dissent.

Federal sentencing has started. Zachary Evetts was just sentenced to 50 years by Chief District Judge Reed O'Connor. Maricela Rueda was just sentenced to 840 months / 70 years by Judge Mark Pittman.

There’s nothing to talk about today other than what’s just occurred in the Prairieland case. An unfathomable abuse of power at the hands of a judge dead set on aligning himself with the other disgusting fascist enablers of history’s past. A history lesson for the judge; repression fuels resistance.

What the actual fuck. 30 years in prison for this??? And other anti-ICE protesters got 50??? This is some Putin style dissident suppression.

Once more, the point of having military guards in full dress at the White House Nitro Circus sponsored by Black Rifle Coffee Company isn’t that this all presents a coherent vision of America. It’s a show of dominance, of publicly degrading our symbols and institutions to proclaim that they own them.
