This is how it works in former Soviet republics: serious people come to the airport the night before their flight and sleep in the security line. (Yes, I have personal knowledge of this.) #Progress? share.google/KFLyKOgNRRDG...

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes. Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted. Beautiful and devastating all at once.

is any reporter ever going to follow up one of these non-answers with the question "do you think your ability as a lawmaker and representative is diminished by frequently being 'unaware' of widely reported infringements of federal law at the expense of people's constitutional rights?"

Q: There's reporting that federal judges are increasingly frustrated with DHS for defying court orders in cases involving ICE detainees. Should the administration be able to miss deadlines? MIKE JOHNSON: I'm not gonna comment on a report I haven't seen. That's the first I've heard of it.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control. Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances. I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone. I need to share with you what I saw.

This is Renee Good. She was a mother of a six-year-old child. She was an American citizen. She described herself as a “poet and writer and wife and mom and shitty guitar strummer from Colorado.” And she was gunned down in cold blood and broad daylight by Trump’s ICE agents.

“Raped” “Murdered” “Disposed of body” “Infanticide” Next to the President’s name. The WH has now taken over the social media account of the DOJ to protect him. Asking MAGA and Republicans —When is it enough? Why are you silent?

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9
