WHOA. Video released by the Venezuelan gov* shows men imprisoned by the Trump administration in CECOT showing and talking about their bruises, scars, and injuries. They say they were beaten and hit, shot with pellet guns, tear gassed, and pepper sprayed. Part 1 of vid here. *so yes, grain of salt

Hey- I’m collecting the most unhinged takes from pastors/churches in response to ICE raids. If you see any or know of any, drop them here or my DM’s are open for privacy

"Despite Trump officially activating FEMA on Sunday, FEMA has just 86 total staff deployed at this point [to Texas], according to figures shared with staff Monday evening...In the past it would normally be in the several hundreds at this point in the disaster recovery process." My latest:

Oil and gas industry getting a nasty treat from the admin. Can someone start pushing back already!

Yay more uncertainty abd costs for America. www.cnn.com/2025/07/04/b...

It’s not just Medicaid. Millions will see health insurance rates rise on ACA exchange. Ain’t nobody for $$ for that.

The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

“Is there any sign of life?” “Have we heard a heartbeat?” “Does she feel any kicking?” “We don’t have the equipment to do that.” That’s the full 911 audio from a nurse inside an ICE detention center near Denver, calling for help as a four-months-pregnant woman bled and cried out in pain.

A ProPublica investigation found that over a dozen years, a secretive group at the FDA granted exemptions to at least 22 foreign factories that had violated critical standards in drugmaking.

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

The US has denied the visas of all 12 members of the Senegalese women’s basketball team who were scheduled to travel to the country as part of their preparation for the Afrobasket tournament that begins in August. Afrobasket is also the African qualifiers for the Olympics. #wnba

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 97 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

if you don’t know the history of Dodger Stadium you can’t fully understand what unfolded today. thanks @chrislhayes.bsky.social for the opportunity to share it.

For generations, if you came on a visa and applied for asylum, you would generally not be arrested even if your visa expired during the process. That’s over now. They’re arresting everyone, even people who have done legitimately nothing wrong. What a terrible, awful, inhumane, cruel policy.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

Whatever you are doing now is what you would have done then. Resist.

NEW: As a result of my story, a lawyer from the lawsuit—the settlement of which resulted in the now-rescinded ICE warrantless arrest accountability policy—has filed notice for judge to urgently “resolve the pending motions regarding enforcement and extension of the consent decree.”

Don't just say it's unconstitutional, remind people that the constitution is full of very good ideas designed to prevent authoritarianism, and most people who want to ignore it want that specifically because they are authoritarian.

A coalition of immigrant rights groups filed a class action lawsuit in the Southern District of California challenging the Trump's "invasion" proclamation and the administration’s shutdown of asylum processing at ports of entry along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The U.S. is on high alert in anticipation of a potential Israeli strike on Iran, with the State Department authorizing the evacuation of some personnel and military family members across the Middle East.

They’re doing jobs Americans refuse to do and they’re being hunted ….

Begging for statements from retired general officers and presidents.

As a result of these ICE raids, there is a very good chance we will not have produce in the coming year. Be it because the workers have fled or because they have been abducted. Even if you don’t know a single immigrant person which is impossible, you’ll still be affected by this evil behavior

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

A friend just asked me what I do to stay hopeful and I told him one of my favorite strategies…I stay hopeful by remembering that no one has any idea what the fuck is going to happen, so as long as we don’t know, we gotta do what we can.

This is not how tax funds for disaster are supposed to work.

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

As the federal government conducts chaotic immigration sweeps across the country, the state is deploying additional CHP to maintain safety on Los Angeles highways to keep the peace. It's not their job to assist in federal immigration enforcement.

DAILY DEMS DOING THE WORK, MAKING NOISE, AND FIGHTING BACK Day 127 I really hope you don’t wait for me to find out whi our fighters are. And you’re looking for them yourself. We have so many, and yet people are still saying that Dems are doing nothing. And here are some of those fighters now 🧵

Statement from Buona Forchetta about the ICE raid last night. 💔

We have hope. Rebellions are built on hope.

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

Joni Ernst, at her town hall last night. When the crowd said people will die due to Medicaid and SNAP cuts, she said: "well we all are going to die." 🫠🫠🫠🫠

WOW. Federal judge orders the release of Kseniia Petrova, the Russian researcher detained by ICE for months and recently charged for allegedly smuggling frog embryos into the United States.
