I’m with @michaelfanone.bsky.social

I haven't been back from Texas for 24 hours, and there's 3 new reminders why we shouldn't fund DHS without reforms to force them to obey the law. 1. The arrest of little Liam Ramos 2. More brutal treatment of protesters in Minnesota 3. ICE claiming the power to enter our homes

I don't understand why this would happen. Can someone please explain the benefits? Was there a unicorn attached to this bill?

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

MINNEAPOLIS — Hmong homeowners know their rights… randomly looking for Hmong & Asian families… a racial terror campaign, nothing less…

This is Minneapolis: Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city. Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up. Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.

UNARMED WOMAN: “Shame on you.” ICE GOON: “Have you not learned from the past few days?” UNARMED WOMAN: “Learned what? What’s our lesson?” ICE GOON: *VIOLENTLY SNATCHES HER PHONE* (H/T @Mollyploofkins)

The Polymarket bettor, the identity of whom is unknown, bet $30,000 on the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro less than a day before he was abducted by U.S. forces.

Good for this student, this is a big problem that is only growing. They just opened a new chapter at the college here (NV) too:

NASHVILLE - TN HS Dems Tennessee High School Dems deliver a petition to Senator @MarshaBlackburn to stop the just-announced government partnership forcing TP USA chapters into every school in Tennessee. (“to stop far right extremism”)

SNAP benefits are on a yo-yo for so many and the stress of feeding families is devastating. What many forget are the devastating effects to our four legged family members. People have already started surrendering their pets in my state because of the shut down and not having paychecks. 1/

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

nothing lasts forever and I wouldn't mind actually following the VA official account when it isn't being run by some dentist's failson.

The Attorney General of the United States has set a new low for this committee.

Message recorded in March 2025. She asked for the release after her death. 🥰

The media was “ordered” to not release footage of a hostile crowd. IMO the EMPEROR though naked, was damn lucky to escape unscathed. Perhaps he thinks folks in his entourage, would sacrifice their lives for him….🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

this could be crucial to help Identify abuses, but above all stay safe when you use your phone to help... bsky.app/profile/lata...

THIS 👉🏾 What price are you willing to pay? “You’re letting masked men snatch girls’ parents off the streets.”

Just in case you forgot…

GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “Facts are stubborn things… Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas…. Alabama is a top 3 murder state. Where is the President? — He isn’t focused on crime & violence. It’s about an expression of authoritarianism.” (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )

It’s Happening Now!

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

The cost of food has risen faster than overall inflation in the last year.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This party needs to wake up. These guys aren't screwing around... They're assassins when it comes to the way they weaponize grievance and the way they play politics. Enough! What more goddamn evidence do we need? They have rolled back the last half century in real time!"

So congress going home for vacation early! Because of Epstein. Demand a town hall now, they have free time!

Next up: sue this administration! A disabled vet says he was wrongfully detained in last week’s Camarillo raid, despite being a U.S. citizen. • Reporting for his security job at Glass House Farms • Told them he was a citizen • No charges. No phone call. No lawyer. • No care after chemical exposure

Bass: We finally have some good news. We got a great decision from the court—a temporary restraining order. I think this showed that if we fight back peacefully, if we use the means our democracy provides, and in this instance, the courts—we get a proper decision.

“These detainees are living in cages. The pictures you have seen don't do it justice. They are essentially packed into cages. 34 detainees per cage.”

"This is the kind of thing that anybody in America would look at happening in another country and say, this is clearly the result of some authoritarian regime run amok. They have no insignia. They're not identifying themselves. They're throwing people into trucks, effectively kidnaping them."

ICE vehicle getting towed at St John's hospital (Oxnard, CA) ✊🏽

UTAH… this is not a game…

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more. 📌 A stunning mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face was unveiled in Roubaix, France, on July 3, 2025.

I’m choked up seeing this—it’s shameful. Iranian refugees got snatched by “immigration agents” dressed like bounty hunters in West LA’s Sawtelle neighborhood. We’re really about to send them back to a country we just bombed? A regime known for jailing, torturing, and killing its own people?

The East Coast has shown up, 2.4 million and counting, with massive turnouts in small towns across the country. Shoutout to the Carolinas, Georgia, and Ohio for showing up strong!

Happy Obama Appreciation Day.

If you’re undocumented, don’t march tomorrow. Stay home. Let the rest of us get this one. Solidarity ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼
