I am horrified by the brutal killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo by ICE earlier this week. Mr. Araujo had no convictions and had been living here for decades, working toward the American Dream. ICE has provided ZERO evidence and has lied to us again and again. We need answers.

They’re trying to deport the men who witnessed the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. newrepublic.com/article/2129...

The son of the man shot and killed by ICE: I am Ronaldo Salgado, the oldest son of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. He should've been picking up the last of his guys before heading to finish up construction. Unbeknownst to all of us, my dad had been shot inside his van by ICE agents in unmarked cars.

NEWS --> Three men who were in the van with the victim of the ICE shooting in Texas are potential witnesses, but they're now under pressure to self-deport, a rep for the families tells me. They remain in detention even as ICE's story falters. Details in this piece: newrepublic.com/article/2129...

Very excited that after November 3, this country might have TWO Native American women senators and a Native American woman governor. Flanagan from Minnesota, Peltola from Alaska, Haaland in New Mexico. All of them would be firsts. p.s. Funny this post below doesn't mention Jane Fonda on the left.

The complete elimination of Meta would yield unambiguous, far reaching benefits for global society.

Mexico's President, Claudia Sheinbaum, implies during a press conference her government will take action after an ICE agent killed Mexican national Lorenzo Salgado Araujo.

Michigan is experiencing its largest outbreak of a parasitic infection that causes severe diarrhea.

They may be quieter abt it, but ICE is still an out of ctrl force that's terrorizing our communities. They're still killing ppl & giving reasons that r dubious at best (often shown to be lies when investigated🤬) open.substack.com/pub/joycevan... Another GOP 'achievement'; don't let ppl forget it.

What now…? www.nytimes.com/2026/07/02/w...

Surprised but really not surprised at this point…

Their goal is to create so much chaos and so many crises that it starts to feel like nothing you do makes a difference. Don’t believe it. Every action matters. Keep showing up and remember the resistance will prevail!

NEW: He was picking up a work crew to take them to construction site at 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning. ICE showed up. And now this small business owner, the father of three American citizens, is dead. www.thebulwark.com/p/he-lived-h...

On Wednesday of last week, Trump gave disaster relief funds to red states. On Friday, he denied disaster relief funds to blue states. If you’re wondering why a lot of us are up in arms about the proposed OMB rule that will require political litmus tests for grant funding, THIS IS WHY.

ICE fatally shot a man in Houston yesterday. Agents arrested a nun on her way to mass. An Afghan who helped the U.S. military died in ICE detention, one of at least 21 people to die in detention this year. The headlines have moved on, but Trump is still waging his reign of terror.

There’s a scene in the dystopian sci-fi movie Minority Report where Tom Cruise’s character is riding in an autonomous vehicle that gets remotely commandeered by the police to bring him into custody. The audience is supposed to see this as flagrant disregard for privacy and due process.

If you live in a Blue State, Donald Trump just put a gun to your head. He's withholding cash to stop terrorist attacks, cyber attacks, and mass shootings from states that say "no" to his voting rules. If the fight to protect democracy wasn’t “personal” for you, it is now.

ICE has not quieted down. It’s even worse. It’s just become less visible and less covered by the media. Here's what you should know. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/ice-is-even-worse

hold on, about to chat with mcconnell

NEWS: Rep. Andrew Clyde owns a gun store. He sits on the committee that funds the ATF, and he's spent years trying to gut its budget. A gun sold by his store just turned up in a federal trafficking case.

Absolutely wild. They desperately want this to go away. It won’t.

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Rutte "You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

Another example

I believe we are dealing with is a Schrödinger's McConnell situation

This is really embarrassing, he fell asleep again. #Pinks #USDemocracy

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear sent a public letter to Sen. Mitch McConnell requesting a full update on his health, citing weeks of limited information since McConnell’s June 14 hospitalization. Beshear called for transparency about his ability to serve.

Democrats have to win back the Senate if we’re going to stop Donald Trump’s daily, nuclear-grade corruption. The assault allegations against Graham Platner are disqualifying and he should be replaced as the nominee. But this can’t happen as a party insider backroom deal.

🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration is threatening to hold back terrorism-prevention funding from states unless they comply with a sweeping set of election demands — escalating President Donald Trump’s ongoing attempt to seize power over elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is not about the southern border. ICE is about normalizing paramilitary force on our streets. It cannot be reformed. It cannot be retrained. ICE must be abolished.

My favorite quantum theory thought experiment is Schrödinger's McConnell.

Kasie Hunt asked Scott Jennings on live TV if McConnell would be willing to call in to CNN. The discomfort on Jennings’ face while he tried to bullshit his way around that answer was really something. Methinks we still aren’t getting the whole story.

That's great. We spoke as well and he expressed real regret for not driving a stake through Donald Trump and saving the republic when he had the chance. It took a while for him to say so as one blink meant yes, two meant no, and several in rapid succession meant Scott Jennings is a lying asshole.

New AP polling of Jewish Americans— Mamdani (+5): 44% Favorable; 39% Unfavorable Netanyahu (-27): 32% Favorable; 59% Unfavorable Trump (-42): 29% Favorable; 71% Unfavorable Where's all the breathless wall-to-wall coverage on Netanyahu & Trump making Jewish people feel unsafe?

there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.

Total corruption from top to bottom… 😡🤬
