…

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, Kristi Noem and a whole lot of ICE/DHS types is will discover a Strange New Respect for habeas corpus and the rule of law when the 2029 Truth and Reconciliation Commission arrests them for human trafficking, conspiracy, kidnapping, and child abuse.

Today is the 111th birthday of Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre

If you have to repeatedly break the law to arrest those you claim have broken the law, you’re not enforcing the law. ICE has morphed into a terrorizing Gestapo-like goon squad. They must be held accountable.

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

This right here......

"I did this!"

Sorry to sound Woke but I don’t think the feds should be bragging on live tv about their abilities to disappear an elected public official, for fun

FRIEND: "We're at risk of slipping into fascism." ME: "Oh, honey . . . when they are arresting judges and mayors, we've already slipped."

Why are ICE agents wearing masks and dark sunglasses?

Defendants are presumed innocent unless convicted. Every US Atty (or so I thought) knows you can’t weigh in on guilt like this.

The same people who went apoplectic when asked to wear a mask to *protect people* in a pandemic eagerly wear one to *kidnap people* in Gestapo cosplay.

When you make a Monty Python co-founder laugh out loud. 💕

What happened before Mayor Baraka’s arrest needs daylight. Did masked ICE agents let him in just so they could arrest and perp walk him to send a message of fear. Because that’s what it looks like. We’re sliding into fascism—and fast. And if we don’t stop it now, we may not get another chance.

ICE agents *know* what they are doing is probably illegal, which is why they try to conceal their identities with scarves and sunglasses. #AmericanGestapo

Your daily reminder that the U.S. Postal SERVICE is a service that is designed to benefit taxpayers and not a business that should be expected to turn a profit.

@billshaner.bsky.social reports from the scene of a brutal ICE arrest in Worcester, Massachusetts: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

A man pulled up to a gas station to fill up his truck. ICE agents surrounded him and took him away. But his children were left behind. “They arrested someone,” witness said. “They left the children inside the truck.” www.sfgate.com/centralcoast...

Zero! 😳

A convicted criminal who has had endless trials wants to make it so he can imprison or kill anyone he wants without a trial.

I am positive that the folks who follow me already know this, but if you see a person being kidnapped off the street, put your body in the way. Record it and get in the way.

Putin and the rest of the world continuing to laugh at these bumbling fools.

ICE would post up outside the manger to disappear Mary to a foreign torture prison after snatching the baby Jesus and holding him in a private, for-profit tender-age detention facility.

1) USPS did not lose $3.3b. It provided a service that cost $3.3b. *The Pentagon* loses you money, however, every time it accidentally yeets a fighter jet off the deck of a carrier

How could you not be impressed by a bird in your yard? This dude can fly anywhere and it came here to hang out with you

The cost of Grok: "I can't breathe at home, it smells like gas outside. How come I can't breathe at home and y'all get to breathe at home?"

“These are our community members. They're our neighbors. We don't want to send our friends away. We don't care where they're from... "We would want them to stand up for us, so we're standing up. Tucson is resisting.” www.azcentral.com/story/news/p...

The rule of law is all or nothing and must apply equally to everyone. If there's no rule of law for some people in America, then there's no rule of law for any of us.

Spoke with a small business owner yesterday who told me all his suppliers are raising prices out of fear and/or greed even if they aren’t directly paying tariffs. He called it “scareflation”

I'm going to start publicly calling out campaigns that text me because they bought my number from a list. Not just because I've run out of patience, but because if *I* am this annoyed, then I can't even imagine what it's doing to Democrats' reputation among casual voters.

I think i planted Gritty

Protesters against ICE in New York City are being led by Pikachu. NYC is awesome! 🤣

He declared an "emergency" at the border in order to abduct people of color. He declared an energy "emergency" in order to bypass vetted permit approvals for oil and gas companies. He declared an "emergency" with trade in order to leverage companies with 'tariff exceptions'. Get it yet?

Actually the best life advice I ever got: Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. A half-cleaned room is better than an uncleaned room. Occasionally flossing is better than never flossing. A 10-minute workout is better than no workout. When it’s all you can do to get out of bed, get out of bed.

I just wrote about Justice Sotomayor's forceful call to action for lawyers. Hoping Democracy Docket can get it out to members tomorrow. Sign-up now! hubs.ly/Q03jcjqV0

It takes effort and intention to be this malicious. Their conduct shames decent law enforcement officers everywhere. Their cruelty shames America.

Trump just made it up to 98% more expensive to have a baby. Trump's baby tax is here.

Man would win gold in a lying olympics!

NRA in 2020: "We need guns to resist tyranny!" NRA in 2021: "We need guns to resist tyranny!" NRA in 2022: "We need guns to resist tyranny!" NRA in 2023: "We need guns to resist tyranny!" NRA in 2024: "Ya know, tyranny's not so bad."

Chris Murphy is saying what I’ve been screaming about for months. Better late than never. Now, Murphy needs to hammer this message home in an unrelenting fashion…and never stop.

how every dem elected official isn’t losing their damn mind right now is beyond me. they want to arrest all of you!!!!

Even Putin would be embarrassed by this.

Felt this should enter the public domain for meme usage

The video doesn’t show a congressperson “body slamming” an ICE agent, but it does show that ICE agents are unprofessional thugs who seem to delight in escalating confrontations

Spotted on 4th Ave. in Brooklyn

You know what else reports a net loss every quarter? Every single police department in the country.

It's funny. I've moved on from my Catholic upbringing but I still believe it's our duty to treat other humans with justice and respect no matter their status. Strange that that idea makes me a commie now.

The worst seat at any bar in America is one next to Ronny Jackson.

I can't stop laughing. 😂

7th grade Spanish teacher taught us that patatas bravas were called that because the potatoes were brave for going into the spicy sauce and I will cherish that thought for the rest of my life. Honor them. Honor their sacrifice

Gilchrist: Even if he had a goal that was in the interests of the people of Michigan, this is not the team I would trust to actually get it done. They’re so incompetent that they made a deal they claim is supposed to help American manufacturing—but it literally hurts Michigan manufacturers.

A group of Quakers are marching more than 300 miles to demonstrate against the Trump administration's crackdown on immigrants. Organizers of the march say their protest seeks to show solidarity with migrants and other groups that are being targeted by the administration.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @dccartoonist.bsky.social )

Because now we get chronic conditions instead of DYING OUTRIGHT. This is actually fantastic! It means we get eczema and arthritis at 65 because we didn’t die in childbirth at 25!

Scenes are repeating across the United States, passersby and local residents confront & resist Trump's ICE regime troops as they’re spotted kidnapping their neighbours. The regime continues its campaign of ethnic cleansing, appearing at homes and businesses masked and without warrants. #3E #StopICE

Pope Leo with a message so many need to hear. (cc: @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn @TNGOP @TNHighwayPatrol @JDVance @RepTimBurchett @SenatorHagerty @CSexton25)

Pope Leo XIV is descended from Creole people of color from New Orleans. Take a look at historical records that trace the story of his mother’s family.

MAID DAY!

House Republicans are now targeting federal workers’ retirement benefits to help fund their massive tax cuts. Last week, the House Oversight Committee approved a plan to slash $50 billion from the retirement system over the next decade by changing

The world’s ugliest rose bush lives in my yard. Apparently the previous owners tried to get rid of it, but the plant was tenacious and became one giant thorny stalk that each year grows a single rose. This year, that rose sure was something.

Thinking about how the Pope is going to vote for President in 2028, same as I will, and my vote will count the same as the Pope’s. Yours will too. It’s so weird.

Seems like it should be a bigger deal that Trump planned to send migrants to Libya, where the UN found migrants were literally enslaved — and worse. “Hell on earth for migrants” apnews.com/article/liby...

This is the way

Prior to the civil war, armed citizens in the north confronted US Marshals and vigilante slave catchers to prevent them from abducting Black people who had escaped slavery. They had the moral clarity to resist the greatest evil of their time.

BAIER: “The economy shrank for the first time in 3 years…” JD VANCE: “This is Biden’s economy.” 🤡

Donald Trump only has a 36% approval rating on the economy in the new 2025 AP/NORC Center poll. It can go lower. 🍿

did not notice the groundhog in my backyard when i let the dog out so it suffices to say that my dog now has a taste for groundhog (the groundhog appears to have gotten away, although not without a nip to the tail)

I salute the 600 Naval Academy grads who released a letter condemning Trump's book bans at the Academy.   At this week's Board meeting, I moved to reverse the ban & made clear I won’t give up the fight. Are we really afraid to have midshipmen read Maya Angelou’s “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings”?

Hands Off! was the biggest day of civic protest in years, and we want No Kings Day on June 14 to be even bigger — with more people in more places driving even more defiance of Trump’s fascist agenda.

Trump’s war on due process, habeas corpus, and how close we are to martial law. Plus: Stephen Miller’s dangerous influence, major court losses for Trump, SCOTUS updates & more. We break it all down on Legal AF. Watch live at 8p ET/5p PT!

how benefits are calculated cutting what workers would receive. As if the job cuts weren’t bad enough, now they’re coming for your retirement too.

This doesn’t stop until we stop it. youtu.be/idItFSIgDmc

Presidential power is expanding—and ominously Stephen Miller talks abt suspending habeas corpus. Justice Harlan warned us. I walk through his Youngstown opinion and why it demands our attention. Stay engaged.
