Great performance of "Join ICE" by Jesse Welles on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert this week.

How embarrassing for Chuck Schumer, Kirstin Gillibrand, Cory Booker, & NY Reps Grace Meng, Dan Goldman, Ritchie Torres, Greg Meeks, Tom Suozzi, & Laura Gillen, that even Donald Trump endorsed Zohran Mamdani before they did.😐 Corporate Democrats just love snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Remember, brown 13-year-olds are hardened menaces to society, but 30-something Republican Hitler afficionados in positions of power are just li’l guys.

The nation’s biggest private prison company — accused of human trafficking — is asking the Supreme Court to make it immune from lawsuits. Their argument? Corporations should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.

Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

RIP U.S. innovation. Between gutting the H-1B program, purging US scientists from civil service, slashing research grants, and disappearing international students off the streets, our government has made a conscious decision to kill America's roll as a global leader in science and innovation.

Verified in the scholarship on reducing recidivism. Universal basic income makes sense and acts as a deterrence for the least financially able to avoid crime.

There is a straight line between these two things and it starts with a racist narcissist experiencing a public injury.

The headline says it all. @Mai_Sacramento for Congress! #RunMaiRun #SheGotUs #MaiTimeOurTime

The thing about a lot of these never Trump Republicans is that, unlike a lot of institutionalist Dems who think the fever will break and we can all return to comity or whatever, these guys saw the rot up close and know the only appropriate response is to tear them out of government root and branch.

The California Dem Party is considering a ban on ALL mention of ANY genocide, ethnic cleansing, war crime, famine, or human rights violation AROUND THE WORLD. Tell Party leaders you will not comply & will not be silent.✊🏾✊🏽✊🏿 Register your opposition⬇️ fs3.formsite.com/CADEM2011/Ru...

I have zero knowledge beyond what is in the press, but at the very least it really *looks* that way.

This is my friend. His name is Christian Smalls. He founded the Amazon Labor union Not as a professional activist, but as a worker who decided he’d had enough. Recently, he was beaten and detained by the IDF And no one in the MSM is talking about it. paydayreport.com/amazon-union...

ICE agents lied about LA protestors

SCOOP by @arnorosenfeld.bsky.social and I: J Street is declining to back the Anti-Defamation League in its battle with the nation’s largest teachers union, the National Education Association, saying ADL is no longer a reliable arbiter of antisemitism. forward.com/news/755587/...

🧵New original reporting from @indiacurrents.bsky.social! Quoted in the behind the scenes stories of the Sacramento Sangat and why the West Sacramento Gurdwara joined litigation filed by @democracyforward.org and interfaith allies against the Trump administration. indiacurrents.com/whats-at-sta...

The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for senior Taliban leaders on a charge of gender persecution. #Afghanistan This could provide victims and their families with an essential pathway to justice.

MacArthur Park today wasn’t law enforcement. It was political theater. No arrests. No crime ring. Just troops, agents and fear. Kids at summer camps were rushed indoors as helicopters and soldiers swarmed. The message? Intimidate immigrants. Children became collateral in the show.

I don't ever wanna become desensitized to the image of fully masked federal agents and soldiers. It's one of the harrowing images of our times.

Truly no excuse for anything than other than maximum opposition to the regime’s priorities.

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

Full respect to the hero who paid for this troll plane over the Stanford graduation ceremony. #Demp

Heroes are putting themselves on the line. Meanwhile our failed Congress—which has the Constitutional duty to halt this lawless rampage immediately—sits limp and flaccid.

This is what happens if a US Senator stands up to ask a question of the MAGA administration at a press conference! The weakness of MAGA is on display; they can't even take a simple question. I would like to say this isn't America but it is until we stand together to change it. Solidarity. ✊🏼✊🏾✊🏽✊🏿

It's been two days since a bigoted Republican member of Congress published a hate-filled post against Sikhs and Muslims. Since then, Republican leadership has been silent while Democratic leadership has clearly stood with our communities against bigotry.

Appreciate that there are some really good statements from officials re standing with immigrants against ICE/Trump/MAGA in our communities...BUT shouldn't there be some pretty significant criticism re LAPD enabling those ICE raids? @aclucalaction.bsky.social @aclu.org

This is police and ICE brutality and we cannot sit back and just let it happen. Not in Los Angeles.

Wah! This is the best ad for the Desi community in the history of American politics. The messaging, cultural referencing, and voter education is impeccable! Aapka time aageya!!

I must admit that it was not until today that I fully appreciated the immense courage of the reporters that put themselves in harm's way to bring us the stories of Sikh human rights advocates at risk due to the assassinations and plots by the government of India.

Every day that this horror continues, I think of Omar El Akkad's tweet: "One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this."

This will get lost in the news, but Trump has repeatedly normalized corruption and bribery. Our President is a crook who has accepted billions of dollars in bribes and has abused his pardon authority to free other crooks (like Eric Adams) who are his supporters. www.foxnews.com/politics/tru...

Good Morning The House has passed this HORRIFIC budget bill. House Republicans, how can you look in the mirror knowing you will hurt so many of your constituents? BUT AMERICA It is NOT over Now the SENATE So, please Call Your Senators Bombard them with CALLS 202 202 224-3121 FACTS ⬇️⬇️

My hearts breaks for Yaron Lischinsky & Sarah Milgrim. If we looked at each other & saw humans, not flags, not faiths, not borders just beating hearts & shared experience, how different would this world be? Less war, less hate. More mercy. More grace. Maybe even peace.

NEW: Andrew Cuomo is mounting a stunning political comeback despite 12 women accusing him of sexual harassment just 3 years ago. I spoke with several of the women whose claims were substantiated by three investigations. They feel betrayed & forgotten. www.huffpost.com/entry/andrew...

“‘Nowadays, I carry my passport with me all the time,’ says Pyakurel. ‘Even though I’m a [city council] representative here, I don’t look like a citizen to many ICE officers.’” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Bottom line: Democrats would have far more election wins and policy successes if the party encouraged responsible retirements rather than prioritizing seniority. It would also fare better against fascists if it promoted legislators who are better able to navigate the attention economy.

the average cis person would have to be admitted into a psych ward if they suddenly had to manage the regular stress of day-to-day that we all face with the added pressure of being a tranny and having the Entire World focus on trying to kill you almost every day

Doesn't really matter what the procedure is, if the DNC follows a path that ends with Hogg removed as Vice-Chair, it affirms what folks already believe; that Hogg is trying in good faith to improve the Party/nation and the DNC is not capable of doing the same. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

"Under the annual appropriations act, lawmakers are permitted to enter 'any facility operated by or for DHS used to detain or otherwise house aliens.' The law is clear that members of Congress are not required 'to provide prior notice of intent to enter a facility'..." www.cnn.com/2025/05/10/p...

Thankful for the ceasefire between Pakistan & India; may it prevail despite the violence since the announcement. Conflict between them always brings tragedy to Punjab, my ancestral home. Prayers that deeply flawed leadership on both sides have the wisdom and courage to act on behalf of the people.🙏🏽

My view on the recent Pakistan-India violence: my idiot parents are fighting again because they don't care about their kids. #NoWarInPunjab

It's going to take some time to get Alcatraz ready. Should be open just in time to imprison Trump after his corrupt term in office. h/t Fava restaurant in Berkeley.
