This would be hilarious if it weren’t so pathetic.

Okay, so the GOP is going to shut down the government because they don’t want to inconvenience ICE by requiring judicial warrants, targeted enforcement, no masks, and adhering to use-of-force standards? I guess those things really kill the whole ‘Gestapo’ vibe.

Do republicans think they can just bury their heads until this all goes away? Why aren’t they screaming for his removal?

Concentration camps: “For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick."

I mean, it takes *effort* to be this incompetent.

A Single Black mom who depends completely on her car had it break down. She been struggling with getting to work, paying bills and bringing her children to school. She’s trying to get it repaired, let’s each give $1 to reach her goal. We’ve helped 232 people so far, let’s keep going.

The DHS response to questions about this story is bizarre for a number of reasons, but especially because the article is about how they detained a citizen. “ICE has higher detention standards than most U.S. prisons that hold actual U.S. citizens.”

Wow, just say it, Mike.

Courts have upheld the First Amendment right to record and document law enforcement operations for decades now.

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

He murders a woman and calmly walks away like he just picked up bread at the grocery.

Video from the scene of the Minnesota ICE shooting contradicts DHS’s narrative that locals were rioting and threatening agents' lives.

It’s a little on the nose for the guy kicking millions off SNAP to announce the first annual Hunger Games

Unemployment for Black Americans has surged to 7.2%, the highest level since October 2021, when the job market was still recovering from the pandemic. The drop in employment is a warning sign. @wsj.com www.wsj.com/economy/jobs...

Thousands march through New York City’s Times Square protesting the bombing of Iran.

FIFA should take away WC matches here next year. Have all matches played in Canada and Mexico. The Olympic Committee should remove the games from this shithole country. And, take the MAGA/NAZI flagpoles from our House with you. TACO is a human stain.

Here's an idea. Dem Governors & Mayors should be ordering their local law enforcement to arrest any & all unidentified and masked alleged ICE agents. If a random guy in a mask grabbed someone and threw them in a vehicle, we'd call that a kidnapping. Why not here? 1/2

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

This is the kind of piss and vinegar the Democratic Party needs.

Reupping my piece on why Schumer's concerns about the courts have merit. Trump has ALREADY infringed on Article III's authority w/GSA cuts, threats to Federal building access. www.emptywheel.net/2025/03/14/d...

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

SCOOP: Now that Linda McMahon is confirmed/sworn in as secretary, Trump will be imminently issuing an executive order eliminating the Department of Education. I’ve obtained a draft of an email that McMahon will be sending to staff re: the EO and the department’s “final mission”. Here is a portion:

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

Thousands of demonstrators gathered in cities across the U.S. on Wednesday to protest the Trump administration’s early actions, decrying everything from the president’s immigration crackdown to his rollback of transgender rights and a proposal to forcibly transfer Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.

They’re going after Veterans Disability Benefits now.

Here’s the thing with “looking at the code” at Treasury. Depending on what you’re looking at, that’s a mess of COBOL - a computer language hasn’t been taught in decades. If they’re really plan to push changes to the mainframes, that’s like suggesting edits to the Voynich Manuscript.

Blinding the news media is definitely part of the govt takeover strategy. I experienced this firsthand with Musk’s running of Tesla, Twitter and Space X. Eliminate the press office. Ignore press queries.

Someone go arrest this man because what is going on 🙃

Hear, hear.

Donald Trump fired hundreds of air safety leaders and froze hiring for air traffic controllers. Elon forced the director of the FAA out with no replacement. And a week later, 67 people are dead in the worst commercial aircraft disaster in 16 years.

They should have called it Chinese Whispers. 😆
