This should outrage you. NYPD invaded this artist’s show to arrest him for an offense so minor that it *requires police to release w/ a ticket.* This is harassment—plain and simple. And a massive waste of taxpayer funds. t.co/uQZB1UFEDU

These are people who are complying with the law. They're coming to their hearings, doing what's asked of them. ICE is snatching them up because Trump wants numbers, and it's a lot easier and cheaper to detain compliant people than to hunt down dangerous people evading apprehension.

Immigration “judges” and ICE work for the same bosses. And these aren’t real courts (unless you’re big on early modern legal traditions huge numbers of oppressed people fled Europe hundreds of years ago to escape.)

I’m just a simple country lawyer but it seems to me that if I voluntarily dismissed a case with the specific knowledge and intent of aiding and abetting what has already been held by the highest court in the land to be an illegal scheme, I could expect to be disbarred before I even reach the hallway

The other part of this is that means they are purposefully targeting the people who are “doing everything right”

One thing people aren’t grasping about ICE waiting in immigration court to kidnap people at their hearings: DOJ lawyers are *intentionally dismissing cases* to avoid having to do any work & due process by just handing them to ICE. Pathetic & illegal. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

NEW: ICE tells Judge Murphy that even though the South Sudan police spox threatened to relocate US deportees to another country, the court doesn't have to worry, because none of the men have previously been found to have legit fears of persecution elsewhere. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

That moment with the cabinet secretary who does not understand the concept of habeas corpus demands that universities make sure their students "learn what this country is about."

Lying in support of “White genocide” in South Africa while discontinuing DOJ investigations into systemic police abuse & mass killings of disproportionately Black & brown people in the United States are interrelated state acts of white supremacist violence.

The opposite of what the Constitution says.

As Trump exploits unprecedented & illegal powers to exact collective punishment on migrants & other marginalized people, CNN & other outlets are publishing—w/o correction, challenge, or context—his outright lie that he shares the Pope’s tolerance migrants. Journalistic failure.

I was a public defender in Brooklyn during Cuomo’s governorship. I saw up close how he impacted the city I love, and the people and communities I represented. I wrote here on the 5 biggest public safety reasons Cuomo is patently unqualified to lead NYC. zeteo.com/p/andrew-cuo...

For all of you whose vote was manipulated by mass media & politicians scaring you into believing you’ve never been less safe, the *2024 crime rate was the lowest in record since 1961.*

Pam Bondi is too busy illegally prosecuting people for activism and threatening to sell Tesla protestors to El Salvador to be tortured.

As Trump disappears students for sharing viewpoints about the Middle East on outrageous claims of supporting “terrorism,” Trump continues to celebrate and support actual acts of domestic terrorism.

They’re going to keep pushing until something stops them.

You sold your immigrant residents to Trump to get your criminal charges for historic levels of corruption dropped. You are corrupt to the core. You shouldn’t be Mayor. Resign.

My god. Trump's deportation effort constitutes a clear assault on civil liberties and due process rights. It also represents an arguably darker milestone: "The US government is now in the business of trafficking migrants on the global market." t.co/zlCktbtfDA

Wow. One of the key sources on *how immigration is not linked to more crime, but actually the opposite*-The National Institute of Justice-has removed all publications about "crime rates among undocumented immigrants." They are: "Reviewing materials in accordance w/ Executive Orders." Thread:

Democrats need to be saying “fuck” a whole lot more. Thanks @petebuttigieg.bsky.social for continuing to meet the moment.

ICE kidnapped and then forced a pregnancy test on a famous white actress while detaining her unlawfully for 12 days. Just think what they’re doing to non-white non-famous people. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Note: Whether noncitizens had criminal records or not, they shouldn’t be deported without due process, let alone to be tortured in most dangerous penal colony in the world. Also yes, most now facing torture in the most dangerous prison in the world had no prior criminal record.

…Without you in politics ever again…

New report: “Undocumented immigrants paid a staggering $96.7 billion in federal, state, and local taxes in 2022. That’s more than the tax contributions of some of the wealthiest corporations and individuals in the country.” In exchange, state sponsored terror & torture.

The violent white-washing, bigotry, & taxpayer waste. To bulldoze, jackhammer, slam metal poles into, raze & ultimately erase “Black Lives Matter” from a street in DC. A simple statement calling for the end to the mass murder of Black people by police. Racist terror.

I personally don’t think taxpayers should be on the hook to pay for their police departments to be a personal security service for Musk. I think Musk should pay for his own, at least with all those extra billions he’s using his government position to steal from taxpayers.

34,000 already employed by NYPD. Before overtime, $11 billion in taxpayer funds. Largest police force in world. Cuomo calling for 5000 more. Base starting salary alone: $300 million more. Could instead fund violence interruption & summer youth employment in every NYC neighborhood for 5 years.

A few things for the non-lawyers in the room about appointed “outside counsel” Paul Clement’s recommendation to dismiss the case against Eric Adams. What does with & without prejudice mean? Why does it matter? Who is Paul Clement? Why didn’t the judge just rule? Thread:

The thing about these GOP town halls with Trump voters absolutely shocked & outraged by the actions he/Musk are taking that hurt them, their families, & their communities: They decided their hatred of immigrants & Black people was more important than anything & voted for this.

As popes go, Francis has been quite a good one. I hope we have some more time with him.
