Should you get snatched out of your home on April 21st because you didn’t file your taxes on time? The government is focused on immigrants now but if you set the precedent that people should get kidnapped over paperwork there’s a whole lot of people who can get taken next

It's already been done. Trump’s budget bill benefits private immigration detention companies that donated to Trump - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington share.google/gIdIvxVpGuQ6...

This is the post. There are only about 50 million foreign-born people in the US. Second-gen (natural born citizens) is about another 50 million. They want to deport all of those people.

These are for Americans they don’t like too.

Death camps. I've seen measles outbreaks reported at some of them. One of the kiddie camps back in 1.0 had an outbreak of typhus, the same disease that killed Anne Frank.

Crucially, many local governments are furious with ICE over these purchases, because they were not consulted or even told. Because they are federal property now, it's taking a commercial property off the tax rolls while likely imposing dramatic additional infrastructure costs.

In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in: - Hagerstown, MD: $102 million - Surprise, AZ: $70 million - Hamburg, PA: $87 million - Tremont, PA: $120 million - San Antonio, TX: $82 million - El Paso, TX: $123 million - Social Circle, GA: price unknown This is unprecedented.

The largest federal prison in the nation is Fort Dix, which has a rated capacity of 4,600 people. The largest of these warehouse camps may hold more than twice that number of people. The federal government hasn't operated a prison camp inside the United States that large since Japanese Internment.

Right now Rikers Island, the physically largest jail in the entire United States, is holding under 7,000 people. ICE's warehouse plans include detention camps which will hold between 8,500-10,000 people in buildings not designed for human habitation.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Every American needs to watch this:

33 seconds in you can hear Trump poop his pants. 💩

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk. Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared. Well, here’s a link: georgetown.box.com/v/Vladeck-IC...

Oh look, it’s Trump pretending to save the day, by fixing a problem that he created with a bailout. But it doesn’t solve the real problem. Farmers wouldn’t have been in this position if it weren’t for Trump’s insane tariff policy. #TrumpInflationCrisis

Amber Gustafson, a writer and nonprofit fundraiser in Ankeny, Iowa, doesn’t qualify for Affordable Care Act subsidies. But she’s still bracing for impact if lawmakers let them expire at the end of the year. “The more people that are part of the ACA, the more cost effective it is for everybody."

When a group of blue state attorney's general submitted a strident defense of trans healthcare to Trump's FTC, no one in the media covered it. No one, that is, except for @valorievandieman.bsky.social of Assigned Media, in one of our most read stories of 2025.

god this is a satisfying sentence

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too? A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

No. Just No. We won’t accept this. His EOs have to stop now! Where are all the states rights people. Be LOUD

Colin Allred dropped out of the Texas Senate race because he saw what everyone else sees. Jasmine Crockett has the momentum now and everyone knows it. @crockett.house.gov

"Now that I've hit everyone with ruinous taxes, I'll dole some of it back out to my political supporters as welfare payments."

"She said she repeatedly told the agents she’s a U.S. citizen. “I just kept repeating it — I’m a U.S.-born citizen. I was born and raised here. This is my home. My baby’s waiting for me...” She screamed “Leave me alone...” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

🤬Attack Dogs! Senator Patty @murray.senate.gov constituent was tricked to come outside by an #ICE agent dressed as a construction worker claiming he hit their car & then they released a K9 attack dog to take him down 🤬WTF is wrong with these goons & who the hell authorized use of attack dogs? 🤯

Absurd. The bailout exists to ameliorate the negative impact of the tariffs.

ICE Without a warrant Aimed rifles at university students No warrant They should have been stopped at the gate Illegal activities must be stopped before they get on private property People have rights!

Thank you Bek, I appreciate the shoutout. Have a fabulous day ✌️💙🐸🐊🦋

Anyone who has participated in or attended a naturalization ceremony knows how meaningful and joyous these ceremonies tend to be. The cruelty of this is heartbreaking and enraging.

Trump’s Own Mortgages Revealed to Be What He Calls Fraud #TrumpMortgage www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-own-m... via @thedailybeast

weird how this keeps happening, huh? www.newsfromthestates.com/article/gop-...

"Individual liberty" is when conservatives decide everything. Their concept of liberty is just domination, not freedom to do what they want, but freedom to force everyone else to do what they want. bsky.app/profile/donm...

Former DOJ attorney Liz Oyer just said something that should stop everybody cold: The Justice Department has started calling Immigration Judges “Deportation Judges.” She breaks down what that shift means: for due process, for families, & for a system already weaponized against the most vulnerable.

He's flat out saying that he's giving farmers a bailout because they vote for him, not because Americans can't afford food.

And though stores opened early even those not taking part in boycotts didn’t show up. Those that did were shocked by the empty parking lots and aisles.

Europeans need to be careful because the same thing is trying to sweep Europe. Demonizing non-white people, halting or making immigration harder, using fear of immigration and non-white people to rise to power, etc. Already, civil liberties are being chipped away.

The same thing as originalism. Whatever the fuck they want it to mean at any given moment.

Basically, their desired value system is this. Your tier of citizenship would depend on how many boxes you check: [ ] White [ ] Anglo-Saxon [ ] Protestant [ ] Cis [ ] Het [ ] Conservative [ ] Male [ ] Wealthy [ ] Bends the knee to their 'betters' [ ] Demands obedience from lower castes

Yep. And if they try to get more specific about what “western values” means, they risk excluding some white Christians and including non-white, non-Christian people.

I’ve come to the conclusion that the only western value they care about is property rights and all other uses of the phrase are just code for being white. It’s not like they sit around reading Classics. At best they’ve picked up some things about Western Civilisation from video games and “300.”

i mean what are these "western values" these guys are so hopped up about? they are directly antagonistic to western europe. they don't believe in civil liberties. they reject democracy. and don't get me started on christianity, they hate their white neighbors almost as much as the brown ones

Right out of the textbooks. Literally "Them."

I can't nail down a precise number, but 475 to 600 nursing homes around the country are expected to close once the BBB kills their Medicaid funding. When a million MAGA families realize their nan is about to move in with them, they may reconsider their support for Trump.

Fkg former Honduran druglord president, sentenced to 45 years, gets a pardon, while this cute kid gets deported.

A reminder if you’re flying this week

Trump appears to have had additional strikes affecting his face more severely.
