José Campos Torres was murdered by Houston Police on May 5, 1977, at age 23. It would take 45 years, but the Vietnam veteran and his family finally received a measure of justice, thanks in part to the tireless efforts of Chicano activists. /1
I think @keithedwards.bsky.social nails it here, with the next step being Republicans like MTG and Burchett rallying around Trump for "exposing the Democrats."
I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.
Camarillo, CA - At least six cans of chemical irritant in the road near farms. Feds threw them at vehicles and pedestrians as they were leaving, causing pretty intense confusion and panic. Vehicles driving past are kicking some back up into the air. @melbuer.bsky.social kicked one out of the road.
The American public elected a president and administration who whether they knew it or not was intent on dismantling the very things that made America the economic and cultural envy of the world. That is the story of Trump 2.0.
ICE is going to get someone killed.
This was outside 100 Montgomery in SF’s Financial District.
If you needed proof these rookie hires aren’t trained, here it is. Real feds de-escalate. They call for backup. They don’t drag people down the street w/a car.
Hope everyone’s OK.

Sooo, apparently the cop that filled out the ridiculous form, which concluded that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was a gang member, was suspended for passing confidential info to a sex worker.
The name "Alligator Alcatraz" reminds us that America is currently run by adults who are like malicious, giggling children using magnifying glasses to burn ants.
McGovern: "A family making less than $50,000 a year? They get less than $1 a day in tax cuts. You can't buy a damn cup of coffee with that. But those making a million dollars or more? They'll get more than $250 a day in tax breaks ... that's how rigged this bill is to benefit the wealthy."
Senate version specifically lowers Fed payments of ACA expansion to lower than 90%. States have trigger laws in their budgets to cut services when that happens.
So they're not taking away Medicaid. Just ensuring that the states do. Always the word games with these ghouls.
“We’re the good guys,” I tell myself as a 6-year-old leukemia patient pees his pants in fear. I adjust my black mask and sunglasses in the mirror, making sure to hide my identity. “I am not evil,” I whisper.
Monstrous:
"They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying....The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours."
KOBE IS MISSING IN BROOKLYN. Last seen near Park Avenue and Navy. He's chipped:
900233001869742. If you've seen or found him please call 800-252-7894 and PLEASE RT KOBE!
“A horrible display of waste… rotting fruits and vegetables… store after store closed… if the ice raids continue be ready for even bigger sticker shock when you go grocery shopping…” 🍎 🥕
This is madness, obviously—and counter to what he said during the campaign, which was that "success would be his revenge." But understand that this pre-rigged attempt to formalize the Big Lie ends with martial law, an attempt to cancel the midterms, and a declaration that he is seeking a third term.
Yeah, I’m sure what Mike has in mind is to build affordable housing at those scenic vistas on federal land he wants to open up for development. That’s how he’s selling it, but we all know that they have different plans.
The xenophobic fever dream Rep Andy Ogles exists in is entirely detached from reality — and the proof that he knows it is he doesn’t have the courage to show his face in NASHVILLE, which he represents, at a town hall.
The day before Kristi Noem's goons premeditated an arrest of Brad Lander, NYC amended its lawsuit against Noem, catching them lying to explain their theft of $80M.
I'd say that's just a coinkydink...But Ras Baraka is suing Noem too.
