This is pretty fucked up in lots of ways.
📽️ Kenneth Santizo captured ICE and FBI officers stopping a family on their way to church in the Boston suburbs. Agents broke the window and slammed Daniel Flores-Martinez to the ground while his wife and children sobbed: https://propub.li/3IbPftA
The National Guard has assessed that its Washington, D.C. mission is perceived as “leveraging fear,” driving a “wedge between citizens and the military,” and promoting a sense of “shame” among some troops and veterans. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Northern Ireland man from Lisburn kidnapped by Trump’s Ice raids because he “looked like a Mexican”. He had the correct visa, all his documents. He’s never been in trouble with police. Held in terrible conditions. A fellow captive couldn’t get his medication and dropped dead of a heart attack
There’s a reason Joe Arpaio was a popular figure amongst the GOP activist class in the early 2010s. The MSM story about him was that he’d been “disgraced.” In reality, he never went anywhere and was rallying the troops for the next battle.
Sotomayor blasts Kavanaugh for suggesting immigrants just carry appropriate documents. "Countless people in the Los Angeles area have been grabbed, thrown to the ground, and handcuffed simply because of their looks, their accents, and the fact they make a living by doing manual labor."
Mixed feelings as a physician. You’re probably right this would help Dems politically, but would probably create more antivaxxers through tribal re-sorting, and when fewer get vaccines everyone suffers.
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.
One of the definitive days of this admin imo was the WSJ identifying racist posts from a DOGE staffer - the kind of stuff that would be read out loud to you as HR explains why you're not getting severance - and Vance saying no, we won't let the media cancel people anymore.
Does expanding the Supreme Court run the risk a newer and saner SCOTUS will quash the rest as executive overreach?
Reminder: the apparent plan was to spirit these children away in the middle of the night without them ever seeing the inside of a courtroom to challenge their deportation. Children.
ICE detain man who is legally in U.S.—son of a decorated military veteran. "As a granddaughter of a Master Sergeant veteran," she said. "I never believed my home would be at risk in the country my family fought for." He is living in U.S. legally—and has never commit a crime. Dallas, Texas.
“Federal law enforcement asked the crews to line up to check their IDs, according to the firefighters. One of the firefighters said members of the crew were told not to take video of the incident.” DHS did this as flames actively raged. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
An element of fascism is a kind of upside down where the meanest, most rapacious, and least virtuous of society are loosed to bully and abuse people who genuinely uphold civic ideals of service and sacrifice. Public service isn’t what the system is about. It’s about conditioning the national body.
Death of Stalin 2 playing out in the Lincoln bedroom right now
ICE kidnapping a mother as her child begs the officers not to take her. Heartbreaking 💔 😢
Tae Heung “Will” Kim, a doctoral student at Texas A&M University and longtime US permanent resident, has been in ICE detention for OVER one month. The AAUP stands with the Texas AAUP state conference in demanding Mr. Kim’s release. www.aaup.org/news/aaup-st...
Here's what the third day of elementary school looked like in Mount Pleasant, Washington DC.
National Guard soldiers called into service for President Trump's law enforcement surge in D.C. have been assigned to spread mulch at federal monuments. Normally the Park Service does that, but the administration laid off the workers. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Not trying to rag on the reporter, who is a "breaking news" guy, but this is where it matters that your reporters with substantive knowledge of a topic are not there to provide context. We basically get a mention of the problems of Healthcare.gov and no discussion of anything that happened after.
One big question here is how Bill Pulte has gotten access to individual mortgage records — and if that itself is a legal violation Via Adam Levitin: www.creditslips.org/creditslips/...
America now
ICE agents in Lynwood, CA tried to break into a barbershop without a warrant. When the owner refused to open the door, they threatened him: “I’m going to go get your dad and I’m going to get your mom!” Is this the America we want to live in?
Just wildly different expectation goalposts. Biden at 43%: “extremely unpopular, public has soured” Trump at 41%: “wow! Doesn’t make sense to us, but the guy clearly has some sort of magical appeal”
ICE agents in Maine arrest local pastor who supported immigrant community ICE spokesperson "didn’t mention whether Michel Tshimankinda had applied for asylum and he wasn’t able to provide further information Tuesday on whether that would have mattered to ICE" www.pressherald.com?p=7484843&uu...
I love to show up every day for my job, which is standing around holding the front of my tactical vest and getting told to choke to death by thousands of passers-by while 11 of my coworkers handcuff a roofer on his way to work. Every night I drive 80 minutes home, thinking about nothing at all.
There’s gotta be a Roman analogue. Caligula must have showed off his bedazzled toga collection to some Assyrian ambassador or something.
DHS social media is doing daily Neo-Nazi posts, but Greenblatt laser-focused on the most important act of antisemitism: NY mayoral candidate has gone 3 weeks without visiting a synagogue
Too lazy to fact check this, but someone told me the median Canadian lives further south than the median Minnesotan (Toronto being such a huge % of 🇨🇦’s population)
Relevant xkcd: xkcd.com/603/
For most of the last decade, our media and political class has panicked over the idea that progressives were intruding on free speech rights by loudly criticizing people with unpopular views. Anyway, here's far-right federal paramilitaries advertising that they'll rip down pro-immigrant messages.
Just an occupying force going around vandalizing my neighborhood to remove speech they don't like. This is thuggish and counterproductive to any law enforcement goal they may pretend to have. It just highlights that unprofessional goons are occupying DC.
I think they're personally just trying to drive me insane because none of these people would be relevant if not for mainstream media's brief obsession with government security practices from 2015-2016.
The White House is mobilizing red state military forces to occupy a Democratic stronghold and let me tell you: No one has ever pretended something isn't happening harder than Democratic leaders are pretending this isn't happening right now.
New — I wrote about the violent assault on a DC delivery worker this morning by masked federal agents, and how these agents have made the disturbing turn from quiet thugs to playing for the cameras.
Hearing a armed federal agent declare “Liberals have ruined the country” after violently arresting someone without cause. Is extremely chilling and speaks to a total lack of professionalism
While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused. Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right? Agent: Liberals already ruined it.
[writing the constitution] Benjamin Franklin: Write down "no dumb fucks as president" Alexander Hamilton: Stop saying that Benjamin Franklin: I'm tellin' you. You're gonna regret not writing that down
Fox News Reporter Jacqui Heinrich: The way that it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. And it seemed like Putin came in and steam rolled, got right into what he wanted to say and got his photo next to the president and then left
"We've spent a lot of money on the military and now they have nothing to do so we might as well let the president use it domestically to satisfy his own petty grudges" is precisely why the Founders feared a standing army. I mean, it's pretty much fucking verbatim.

back in the news baby
With Trump set to use crime as a fake justification to threaten DC today, media coverage should make one thing clear: At this point his pattern of manufacturing pretexts for militarizing domestic law enforcement has become undeniable. Some thoughts on that here: newrepublic.com/article/1987...
A teenage 4channer was beat up by two 15 year olds in DC, which was spotted and quickly stopped by nearby police. He told his friends, the richest man in the world and the Vice President of the United States, that he was pummeled by a dozen adult Romanians. A week later, Trump federalized DC police.
(I became a hunter recently to try to help with deer overpopulation, hopefully it gets easier!)
Yes—killing a suburban deer isn’t terribly hard (although buck fever is a real thing), but that’s like 1% of hunting. Finding it, dragging it out of where it ended up, dressing it, etc is a lot of work
New: The Trump administration asks the Supreme Court to halt an injunction that’s currently preventing it from racially profiling Hispanic people while conducting immigration arrests in part of California. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
🚨DHS asks the Supreme Court to halt an injunction restricting the ability of ICE and Border Patrol to stop and question people based on factors such as speaking Spanish, being Latino, doing day labor, or being in certain areas. Hard not to read this as a request for a license to racially profile.
RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775. I'd also call your senators/reps as well.
New @motherjones.com: The Department of Veterans Affairs quietly published a proposed rule on Friday to eliminate VA coverage for limited & lifesaving abortions for vets & their dependents. Advocates say it could become one of the strictest abortion bans nationwide.
Point of fact: there *is* a sink in the kitchen; the gas range is nestled into it. You can see the faucet. Nice to be able to directly add water to a pot that is on a burner.
The word gaslighting gets thrown around a lot these days, but I gotta say that the neo-Nazi party claiming to be so concerned about antisemitism that they have to destroy American higher education is a profoundly weird experience.
Bre-treat?
Bre-turn?
Bre-entry?
Everything about this story is horrific: 1. The student never mentions Jews 2. The university is going to expel a student for criticizing a country over genocide 3. A Republican congressman is taking credit and implying the student is a Muslim terrorist 4. The U.S. Justice Department is involved
I worked in an Immunology lab where mice were euthanized by placing them in containers and pumping in CO2. Can confirm that it was bad for them!
it's crazy that you can be a writer for the new york times and not know who the current mayor of new york city is or the current budget of the NYPD, who despite a constant presence in the area failed to intercept a man walking around with a GIANT FUCKING LONG GUN
It is not possible to find the words for this.
This would be a crisis that preoccupied the whole white house and the political press for weeks with any other president.
At some point, the Republican project shifted from attacking scientific consensus on particular subjects that ran counter to their political interests to trying to shut down all scientific inquiry wherever it might be headed.
Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, Kirsti Noem, Joseph Mazzara, Emil Bove, Drew Sargent, and everyone else involved in planning, executing, and obstructing justice around the CECOT imprisonments are responsible for Andry's torture and rape. Each bears a share of the blame. Don't ever let them forget it.
RFK Jr. has now officially stated that he will dismantle the United States Preventive ServicesTask Force (USPSTF). This is an independent body of expert scientists who volunteer their time to review data and provide guidance to Americans on important things like cancer screenings.

They also laugh about having to shoot some immigrants eventually, and the $30,000 bonus money they get for being ICE agents making it ok to smell people’s urine when they piss their pants after being tased. Trump and Stephen Miller’s America. 🇺🇸
Immigration agents told a teenage US citizen: ‘You’ve got no rights.’ He secretly recorded his brutal arrest
This guy slaughtered three strangers and tried to burn down the building in a botched attempt to murder a lawyer he thought was sleeping with his wife. Trump brought him back because he loves DV so much.
They lost me at Al Gore. Lit him up for…caring too much that the climate was changing in a way that would cause mass death and extinction?
official DHS account posting fourteen word long tweets with the H's randomly capitalized groyper occupied government
"The Bubonic Plague, in terms of raw accomplishments, crushed its first two years in historic ways. Massive demographic changes. Unheard of power for farm laborers. Wealth doubling on average across Europe. Yet poll after poll suggests that those who survived it aren't impressed."
Our beautiful president has taxed the poor, sent troops to stomp through playgrounds in California, opened up concentration camps, doubled the price of seemingly random goods for no discernible reason, and bombed a foreign country just to do it. And yet these ungrateful peasants are unhappy?
It shouldn't be this way, but the GOP SCOTUS demanded it be this way. The flip side is that every elected Democrat needs to understand: if you're not 100% behind gerrymandering for Dems as aggressively as possible, you're screwing over your country to help Republicans win. Stop doing that.
JFC this story. Guy survived torture under Pinochet and was granted asylum in 1987. Went to replace his green card after losing his wallet & was disappeared and deported without explanation.
Lost his green card and was arrested while at an immigration office trying to get it replaced.
The US military veteran said he “was pepper-sprayed, tear-gassed, had his car window smashed, and was forcibly removed from his vehicle at gunpoint—all while complying with orders and identifying himself as both a U.S. citizen and an employee.” ktla.com/news/local-n...
Gutfeld: “We need to learn from the blacks. The way they were able to remove the power from the n-word word by using it. So from now on it’s: What up, my Nazi? Hey, what up, my Nazi? Hey, what's hanging, my Nazi?” Kennedy: “Nazi, please!” Gutfeld: “Thank God you did a hard ‘i’ there.”
This is “I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue” but for democracy. He just says it out loud and knows no one can or will stop him.
They’d better start sucking up to Elon again, he’ll just algorithm them away
Excited to see how many millions and apologies ABC shells out over this one.
"Jonathan Caravello...was reportedly “piled on by multiple agents all at once” as “he tried to help a man in a wheelchair” who was having difficulty moving after...[ICE] agents threw canisters of tear gas" our colleague is still missing as of the last info I got dailynous.com/2025/07/12/p...
Not only did this scammer take $100K in his scam lying to kids, he also destroyed more than $28K of federally-purchased vaccines - taxpayers paid for - when vaccines first became available. It’s not just RFK and it’s not just “skepticism.” Our government is willing to lose money to promote antivaxx.
*Eric Andre shooting FEMA emergency response contractors* How could the Democrats have done this?
WATCH: “More could’ve been done.” KERR COUNTY folks didn’t want to take money from “The Biden Regime” that could’ve been used for a flood warning system 👇🏽
Watching movies in which heroes stand up for the little guy, do the unpopular brave thing simply because it is right, help those in need, are kind to people different from them, and grinding my teeth in frenzied rage at this political bias that is personally attacking me, a massive piece of shit.
This is literally "Your papers, please." It's Stasi shit. That's what Homan is declaring, here. Anyone who "looks foreign" is subject to detainment and harassment. Fail to persuade ICE thugs of your citizenship, and you risk arrest. And we've all seen video of what happens if you try to turn away.
Homan: "People need to understand ICE officers and Border Patrol don't need probable cause to walk up to somebody, briefly detain them, and question them ... based on their physical appearance."
Fish versus llamas: what venue and what quantity of each belligerent would make this battle even odds?
Which one is Kevin?
The Trump admin said the Everglades detention camp would be for the “worst of the worst.” Four men sent there so far have nothing on their record other than recent arrests for diving without a license, and were likely only arrested due to racial profiling, as Adam’s excerpt shows.

Roy Edroso ![[from responses] I work on a college campus. Those of who have views different than Kirk are being told we have to censor what is on our websites, what resources we provide students, what we talk about and what we teach or we will be fired. This is not hyperbole. It's what I'm living. Turning Point USA is destroying public speech on our campuses. So maybe look into what is actually happening on campuses before you say that Kirk was doing things the right way.
