There were at least two ceasefires under Biden! In which more than five times as many living Israeli hostages were released in exchange for 240 Palestinians! Has everyone forgotten this?

The cruelty is the point

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

This is a perfect encapsulation of what is so maddening right now. We can all see reality, but the lies are painted as having legitimacy behind them when that’s so visibly not the case.

The omniforce is accountable only to Trump: they ignore state and local guidance, or court decisions. Forget about knowing the identity of the official. Now you may not know which agency he works for, or even if he is an agent of the state.

If you remember the Iraq war, you will remember The Surge: massing troops into key cities to establish control. Trump is describing American cities as if they are Baghdad in 2007. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/purge-merg...

The merging of the omniforce is happening via different mechanisms. First, ICE has become a black hole consuming resources from other agencies. Those agencies are being told to send their people to support ICE. For example, nearly half of FBI field agents work on immigration enforcement.

Democratic Senators calling it like it is:

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection. Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

Dominion Voting Systems, once at the center of 2020 election conspiracies, has been sold to a firm run by a former Republican elections official promising to “restore trust in voting.” Somehow, I don’t think that’s going to do it.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of." One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

To recap: the federal government is shut down, people are losing their jobs But Trumps new plane renovation and the ethnic cleansing in our country continues unabated.

This is excellent advice - promote those local reporters and independent journalists to show the coverage you want to see and help get the national spotlight on it. Plus, you're promoting the journalists that are in the trenches covering this stuff.

Well, this is terrible

NEW: I'm teaming up with Dem AGs and Govs across the country to file a court brief supporting Oregon's challenge against Trump's deployment of the National Guard to their state. The President is responsible for provoking fear and chaos - we must push back against this reckless abuse of power.

At some point, someone in the media could ask Trump what he's talking about, where he's seeing these images and videos. It feels like they're missing a huge piece of information here....

Such quaint times....

THIS is a Trump distraction. Arresting brown people is NOT a distraction, it's part of his ethnic cleansing of America. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

CW: protester being struck in the head by a pepper ball Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

🚨 Rep. Jim McGovern attempted to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Rep Elect AZ-07, but they would NOT recognize him in the House. He has a candid reason as to why he thinks this happened. 1/2

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a challenge to a longstanding Oregon law barring unannounced audio recordings of in-person conversations, crushing a right-wing media group’s campaign to strike down some of the nation’s strictest restrictions.

"hand-to-hand combat with antifa every night"

Immergut deposed Monica Lewinsky for Ken Starr, was a US attorney under Bush, and was appointed to the bench by Trump during his first term. This is not some left-wing judge.

Things to consider: Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed You are a witness. Expose it.

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

We have a long history with this topic, and from workhouses to debtors' prisons to asylums of Nelly Bly's day and before, to the eugenic efforts inspired by Bethenia Owens-Adair and continuing through the 80s, to the programs that remained after Reagan's defunding, we consistently find abuse.

Hours after a federal judge paused the Trump administration’s plans to deploy 200 members of the Oregon National Guard to Portland, federal law enforcement officers escalated the tactics used on protesters in the city. Troy and I were on the ground:

I have been saying for a few years now that people really need to take a seriously long look at the center of that venn diagram where the circles are marked "AI Culture" and "Disregard For/Violation Of Consent." The whole "AI Actress" situation is more of why.

Oregon AG Rayfield: Huge win at this moment in our democracy right now. This is the president that is normalizing the use of the United States military in our country. So to get this strong of a ruling out today for the public to see—it’s incredibly important.

An 84-year-old said she sustained a concussion and was hit with a projectile after she and her husband, a Vietnam vet, were knocked down by federal officers.

Whoa! The American people and constitution win and Trump and fascism LOSE: Trump appointee, Federal Judge Karin Immergut has blocked the deranged dictator-wannabe's overreach and will not allow the fascist authoritarian Trump regime's deployment of troops in Portland, Oregon. 👇

I don’t know why it’s so shocking, but same.

She was nominated by Trump, so they can’t claim this is political.

Sincere curiosity - are they giving something to these guys to make them so aggressive? They are physically throwing protesters on the ground in multiple instances. That’s a lot of rampant strength and aggression we haven’t really seen before.

Yesterday, Kristi Noem’s and Greg Bovino’s masked agents threw chemical agents near an elementary school, arrested elected officials exercising their First Amendment rights, and raided a Wal-Mart.

One first step people should do to respond to this is start using the “report a speed trap” function in Apple Maps to report where ICE is operating. Make Apple party to the attempt to protect people.

Who had these three joining forces on their bingo card? Liar, you had no clue.

BREAKING: The 1st Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 100-page opinion -- says it is unequivocally, lopsidedly easy to determine that the Trump administration's view of birthright citizenship is wrong. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

What I'm referring to. It's a privilege to be invited onto networks to talk about my reporting but I have limits. Similarly stopped doing NewsNation after Nextar took its Kimmel stance.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

The lies are so bad that it's literally comical at this point. He bails out Argentina, they send their soybeans to China, and China wants none of our soybeans because of tariffs. This is ridiculous.

TODAY IS THE ONLY DAY YOU CAN REPOST THIS!!!
