NEW: Rep. Jamie Raskin is calling on Todd Blanche to resign. "[W]e must demand that Todd Blanche resign. An Attorney General who has disgraced himself by settling a bogus lawsuit with a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded bonanza payout to convicted cop beaters."

We lend our voices to the 150 detainees, including hunger strikers at the Adelanto processing center and read their letter in the “Petition of Writ” that we received from @chu.house.gov. Here are their words. (2 parts) PART 1

I will not show you the video.

This is the woman where the lawyers had to track down the nurses from the delivery room in order just get the deportation stopped back in December. Kavanaugh stops are killing us.

“If the person is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.” Justice Brett Kavanaugh www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Fucking loser

My best piece of advice for anyone looking to date men is to pay attention to the time they text or call you or make any sort of bid for your attention. You’re either on their masturbation schedule or you’re on their mind. Those are not the same thing.

This is more confirmation that today’s Republican Party, and the Trump administration, is on the right side of the global far-right. Whereas Trump 1.0 was primarily a combination of conservatives and radical rightists, Trump 2.0 is a combination of radical rightists and extreme rightists.

Signs you might be a far right authoritarian party (#3374): Folks used to get really mad at me on Twitter c.2017-18 for calling the GOP a far right authoritarian party. But now 👇 is correct: they’re on the <far right of the far right authoritarian party distribution> across countries.

Gas prices are $6 a gallon and going up because Trump is bored and doesn’t want to do the work to end the war. That’s the actual truth.

"Just sit back and relax -- it will all work out well in the end. It always does!" This is essentially the mantra of Trump's life. He's just banking on getting lucky when it all shakes out.

Oof! I just noticed that Axios's tweet last week claiming that Iran and the US had reached a deal and were just awaiting Trump's final approval has been Community Noted.

"It's working for me" has to be the best comeback I've ever seen.

Donald Trump, three months ago: “I don’t get bored.”

The toll on press covering Delaney Hall:

Unbelievably unhinged stuff from Trump on CNBC just now. He's repeating *again* that he'll obliterate Iran, saying he doesn't care if there's a deal (as if time is on his side), and even saying he no longer cares if NATO helps open Strait of Hormuz. He's totally stuck. www.cnbc.com/2026/06/01/t...

Definitely don't tell the UN about this... bsky.app/profile/jose...

Never gets old. J-school essay topic: Is there any performance test for essentially life-tenure columnists? A limit on how many big calls you can get totally wrong, before they say: Hey, buddy, how about taking a step back for a while. Maybe a few reported pieces? Where you go out and ask around?

They are now burning down the Albanian PM's house Seems we could all learn a thing or two from Albanians protesters youtu.be/PlhITbfWMVk?...

Mikie Sherrill’s state police destroyed the mutual aid tent for families of the detained that had been in operation at Delaney Hall for more than a year, providing clothes, food, even stuffies for the kids. They just trashed it. I’m pretty speechless at the kind of person you have to be to do this

Imagine how angry Americans would be if the media had adequately explained to them that Obama had secured a deal that was preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon and Trump blew it the fuck up.

The lesson Israel has learned, time and again, is that it can commit genocide and other atrocities with near-total impunity. Now it's exporting the Gaza playbook to Lebanon. Israel's war in Lebanon is killing thousands and displacing millions. NO MORE U.S. AID TO ISRAEL.

“had a very productive call with fucking crazy prime minister bibi netanyahu who would be in prison without me”

A reminder that Bovino planned and executed the racist terror campaign against Latinos that Brett Kavanaugh explicitly blessed in September. Kavanaugh Stops were born through Kavanaugh giving Bovino the benefit of the doubt.

Barrack was previously accused by federal prosecutors of acting as an unregistered agent for the UAE and seeking Gulf investments while influencing U.S. policy. A jury found him not guilty in 2022. He now becomes one of the administration’s most influential figures in the Middle East.

Private prison company GEO Group, which runs Delaney Hall, gave $1M+ to Trump's Super PAC in 2024 and his inauguration in 2025. Not only has Trump since rewarded GEO with billions in ICE contracts, but a top former GEO executive has now been named acting ICE director. Cashing in on cruelty.

ICE detainees are seemingly disappearing while in custody in detention centers where the rules are not clear and the speed of transfers is extreme. The goal? To disorient and get them to the 5th Circuit, where nearly 3/4ths of those ICE deported were last detained. #ProudBlue #ICEdetentionCenters

I’ve been saying this for a minute, but China is going to ascend to dominance by providing stability and filling the vacuum the US left when we pulled out of literally everything we did reasonably well around the globe.

AP agrees it is an invasion. apnews.com/article/iran...

A hunger strike reportedly erupted last month at the Moshannon Valley Processing Center in Clearfield County, , which has a capacity of nearly 1,900. From @stateline.org

Still reeling this morning that a plurality of Colombians want to give the presidency to a man who laughs on TV about entertaining himself as a kid by tying cats to firecrackers to watch them explode. The stability of the democratic equilibrium worldwide has never looked more uncertain in my life

Happy the Strait will be open on June 1st day to all who celebrate

FYI, if you’re wondering how to improve your Bluesky feed:

An investigation by The City Reporter, based on a database of more than 1,200 lawsuits, shows that ICE agents in the field have seized Latinos in numbers that far exceed their share of the undocumented population. projects.thecity.nyc/ice-street-a...

NEW: Trump repealed Biden’s zero-tolerance policy for gun dealers who willfully violated the law, invited revoked dealers to reapply and shifted hundreds of ATF agents to immigration work, while ATF referred fewer gun-trafficking charges to prosecutors.

Rapist attitude

The debate about tariffs “has largely centered on two options: Either companies would pass on .. or ‘eat’ the tariffs .. Now we know that there was a third option: Pass on some of the costs and pay for the remainder by suppressing wages ..” @bobburgess.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

BBC analysis found Iranian strikes have damaged between 20 and 28 American military sites across eight countries since Trump launched his Iran war in February, directly contradicting what the administration has been telling the public about battlefield damage. www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-war-s...

Mikie Sherrill is a fascist. She attacked her own constituents in defense of a concentration camp. That's the truth, full stop. Nobody ever better say to me "vote blue no matter who" again.

It has been a palpable and gut-wrenching betrayal. And there are emotional and political effects from it that will be difficult to overcome. This is reality. Don't come at me with "but if we don't vote xxx." Of course we should vote, but it sucks to vote for fascists wearing wolves' clothing.

Yes he could save Cuba's economy by not actively and aggressively ruining it 👍

NEW: lots of you have sent me this article asking for my thoughts. I’ve been able to confirm it. Just as she says, Trump’s administration is staging vote.gov on a non-government cloudflare account under the EOP where there’s no oversight or accounting. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/thedreyd...

Update: New Jersey ultimately exempted press with "verified credentials" from curfew. "Verified credentials" wasn't defined. A big group of press was kettled. Most released without issue but two were arrested. Both @nppa.org members. Other press appear to have been denied sight/sound access.

we cannot be a nation until the whole hell of the deportation machine, the family separation machine, the foul moloch that sustains Stephen Miller and grinds children into dust, until all of that is dismantled and the work of reparation begins www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

🚨BREAKING: NJ state police illegally try to arrest our Jon Farina & Will Allen-DuPraw for continuing to cover anti-ICE protests near Delaney Hall ICE prison: "If you are press you've got the opportunity to leave," NJ police yell. "Press don't leave!" protesters chant. LIVE NOW⬇️

As horrifying as this campaign of premeditated murder is, what might be even more disturbing is the utter indifference of Congress, the public and our allies to such a shocking and unapologetic obliteration of the many laws and norms against targeting civilians. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/31/w...
