NEW: Six people detained in California’s newest + largest ICE facility speak out, saying they are confined in filthy cells, struggling to access basic medications, going hungry due to insufficient food, drinking dirty water, and faced with “military-like” staff. “This place is built to break us”

War has been declared

This is the man that ICE just detained. This isn't about catching criminals, it is about Ethnic cleansing www.iowapublicradio.org/news-from-np...

Need to confirm with @nytpitchbot.bsky.social, but apparently the @nytimes.com really needs 37 minutes to answer the headline question, instead of one second to say “nope”

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

Best description ever of the shadow docket

Did you feel it? #BayAreaEarthquake earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

I spent the past 10 days on a boat in the fjords of eastern Greenland with no Internet or news access and apparently missed a lot. After 24 hours back in so-called civilization, I’m not quite sure why I left the boat, TBH.

Banksy should just move it to One First Street NE in DC

Yes, do this. "You cannot arrest someone because they are Hispanic" is worth fighting for. It's worth shutting down the government for. And it's worth attracting attention to.

Federal appeals normally take over 2 YEARS, start to finish. Here, the circuit court moved heaven and earth and produced its unanimous 61-page order, affirming the district court, less than 3 WEEKS after the district court's. The Supreme Court just nuked it without a syllable of explanation.

America imprisons 5X more per capita than even the world’s most authoritarian regimes — including China. But for the authoritarian right, that’s not enough. Their vision of society is built on maximizing human suffering. They are the tyrants our forefathers fought against.

Trump minimizes domestic abuse during a talk at the Museum of the Bible: "Things that take place in the home, they call crime ... If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this was a crime, see?"

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

no surprised that brett ”almost certainly flunked his remedial classes” kavanaugh thinks the constitution authorizes a race-based federal “papers please” regime. quick, someone ask him what he thinks of the fugitive slave act.

This is a paragraph Brett Kavanaugh wrote on his little computer and then sent out into the world:

Sotomayor: “yet an-other grave misuse of our emergency docket. We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent.”

I’m a little too stoked about flying over Labrador City, Canada

Yale Law School never beating the “they don’t teach law at Yale” allegations

Is the US included among those countries?

It was bad enough when government officials claimed that journalists incite violence by reporting. But now, they’re accusing reporters of actually committing violence. The supposed violence by reporters? Recording videos.

“I had hundreds of questions…Why am I here? Is being gay a crime?” Nearly 50 days after his release from CECOT in El Salvador, Andry Hernández Romero shared his story with @msnbc.com's @anacabrera.bsky.social. 🔗 youtu.be/Cw5hdTHigTc?...

No. Freaking. Way.

This in the same article also caused a spit-take

Holy shit: Stateline spoke to nearly a dozen firefighters, agency staffers and contractors, who said that top officials assigned to the fire deployed the crews to a remote location under false pretenses so federal agents could check their immigration status. www.hcn.org/articles/fir...

🚨NEW: Declarations filed in the lawsuit against the rushed attempt to deport 600 Guatemalan children reveals the chaotic way the Trump admin carried out the operation. Children were taken out of bed after midnight to be rushed onto planes. One girl "was so scared she vomited."

Watching a @ricksteves.bsky.social episode (Season 10, Ep 1 from 2018) on @kqednews.kqed.org where he tries to explain to middle America how to drive on roundabouts in England, and hand to dog, I think he must have been high as a kite when they filmed that scene, he was having way too much fun

Modern-day Henneicke Column energy here

Stopped on my way to Soulcycle to record an HSI, Park Police, and MPD arrest downtown, and some HSI guys waited until they were in their unmarked car to tell me to smile more.

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

Okay everyone start tipping off Jimmy about the latest mishigas at DOJ ⬇️⬇️

We filed a lawsuit on behalf of 53 children including a 12-year-old girl with chronic kidney disease who needs dialysis to survive. Another is 17 and pregnant. A 10-year-old boy begged not to be sent back, telling us he has no family in Guatemala.

It makes me emotional to see Judge Sooknanan showing that she values each individual child’s life at a moment when this administration is doing exactly the opposite

This was incredible, important lawyering from National Immigration Law Center (@nilc.org) over the past 24 hours. Here's their case page: www.nilc.org/litigation/l... Here was the statement from Efrén Olivares, NILC VP of litigation, from earlier today regarding the TRO:

The LGML case came very close to being JGG redux. But just before the hearing began, the judge decided not to wait. She entered a TRO barring removal of all the children. That made all the difference: DHS already had the kids loaded on planes. One plane even took off (then turned around).

when a judge gets woken up at two in the morning to deal with your bullshit it is generally advisable to stop producing new bullshit such that they can get some sleep at some point the next day

DEVELOPING: Advocates are seeking a court order to block the Trump administration’s effort to deport hundreds of unaccompanied minor children to Guatemala. Judge abruptly moved 3 pm hearing up to 12:30 after she was notified that some children “are in the process of being removed" today.

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits

If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you

This is a great time to remind everyone that EOs aren’t laws, the federal government doesn’t manage voting in this way, and it’s all a scare tactic and any reporting that doesn’t provide that context is enabling potentially lawless activity.

I mean, what’s next? Walking into operating rooms and arresting surgeons mid-operation?

These are crimes against humanity perpetrated by the Trump Administration, full stop. We can never forget or forgive the fascism of what they are doing.

Now that the Texas Legislature has gerrymandered election lines, they’re moving on to protect law enforcement who stood by while a gunman massacred elementary school children. When is this special session planning to focus on the Hill Country flood response? #txleg

#TheLensNola🔍 Within the Orleans Parish Prison jail, thousands of people remained trapped inside as the floodwaters rose higher by the hour. ✍Bernard Smith Read More 👀: buff.ly/79jUJn2

🚨The worst of the worst criminals are going after kids with backpacks and leaving their scooters in the road. 📌 WAKE THE HELL UP AMERICA. We are running out of time. 🚨

Here in Oregon, this is the solitary confinement cell we put children in. Yes, children. www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/0...

imagine being so maniacally racist that you side with the fire over the firefighter

To give you a sense of how nuts this is, Paxton claims a court of only Republican appointed Republicans is “Beto loving” because they asked for a response to one of his filings.

Basically the Trump Admin illegally activated the National Guard to be put to work as scabs to replace the unionized NPS employees that DOGE illegally fired
