Real evil shit.
Schools do not exist to act as daycare for working parents. They’re an educational resource.
BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.

Brandon Johnson signed an executive order barring the city's police from collaborating with federal officers on civil immigration enforcement operations, and U.S. military personnel on police patrols.
FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTE… It’s not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trump’s federal invasion. I’m not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @mluckovichajc)
We’ve been lied to our whole lives. The maps we grew up with shrink Africa down, making it look so much smaller than it really is. The truth: Africa is massive. You can fit the United States, China, India, Japan, and most of Europe inside it—and still have room left over.
I daydream about being woken in the dead of night by the sound of shouts, cheers, and car horns.
i don’t like the idea of the president missing. he could be anywhere. i am suddenly aware how little i appreciated opening my shower curtain knowing the president would not be standing there
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

The media needs to stop calling this an “immigration crackdown.” That’s not what Trump’s doing. He’s using the military and ICE to invade cities and occupy them. Trump is itching for a fight, and he wants it with blue-city mayors and blue-state governors. The good news: they’re not backing down.

If you're fighting for the next unstable 20something mass shooter to have easy access to AR-15s, bc "personal freedom" means more to you than the bodies of dead American children, then maybe the problem is *your* mental illness.

Followed by the next speaker calmly explaining the need to repeal the 14th amendment. It’s not just Yarvin, & this isn’t just “wotta jerk”; needs to be emphasized that these really are some of the influential intellectuals of the regime. This isn’t fringe. It’s fascism in power.
Looks like a bad Peaky Blinders cosplay to me 😂😂😂😂
It’s actually been about 7 hours and 15 days since that guy threw a sandwich at law enforcement.

Whew! Sen. Susan Collins should be “very concerned” She showed up as the main guest at a ribbon-cutting in Searsport, Maine. It backfired. The crowd was not happy to have her: “Shame. Shame. Shame.”

They’re making fun of the media referring to Kilmar Abrego Garcia as a Maryland man as they threaten to send him to Uganda, a country where he’s never lived. They’re simply fucking vile.

Days after reuniting with his family, the Trump administration has once again detained Kilmar Ábrego García and now plans to deport him to Uganda — a country he has zero connection to — as retaliation for not accepting the government's plea deal. This vindictive cruelty must end.
Our constitutional republic does not have any provision which allows a president to enact a criminal statute by executive order that would put people in prison. bsky.app/profile/atru...
No surprises here. The administration backed itself into a policy corner & now people & their families are paying the price for MAGA political rhetoric. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
BREAKING: Maryland Gov. Wes Moore just announced he refuses to authorize National Guard deployment in Maryland. 🧵
@tribelaw.bsky.social brings it. " ... Gerken calls it “uncooperative federalism.” States don’t have to actively resist. They can simply refuse to help. And without state cooperation, much of the federal government’s agenda becomes unenforceable." cmarmitage.substack.com/p/its-time-f...
Tier 1 trolling. Now Gavin Newsom is hijacking the MAGA brand from then.

This quite simply makes me sick
Trump’s approval rating is 44.1% but it’s interesting when you dig into his approval on top issues. On inflation he’s at 24.5%, the economy 38.2%. His fans have basically elevated immigration above all else, showing how deeply racism runs in shaping U.S. politics.

BREAKING: We're suing to challenge Florida's authority to detain people at "Alligator Alcatraz." It is unprecedented and illegal for a state to go around federal laws to operate its own immigration jail.

A judge ruled late Friday that the Trump administration cannot deny funding to Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles and 30 other cities and counties because of local "sanctuary" policies that limit cooperation with federal immigration efforts.
I guarantee you that none of the men who paid for sex with the girls Maxwell and Epstein trafficked were roofers looking for work at a Home Depot
Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about “safety.” They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released from criminal custody, but the Trump administration still wants to deport him after illegally sending him to El Salvador in March, where he was held in that country’s notorious terrorism prison without having been charged with or convicted of any crime.
All the while cutting funding for health benefits 🤦♀️
Maybe Ron DeSantis can use crime hub Mar-a-Lago now that a judge ordered Alligator Alcatraz to be shut down, criminals frequent there and it already houses a criminal, so prime location.
Mayor Brandon Johnson is ready to take Trump to court if he sends the National Guard to Chicago. Democratic mayors won’t be rolled over. Trump’s plan to occupy cities and sow division is going to be fought every step of the way.
