He's the media favorite because he is against taxing their billionaire owners
it remains nuts to me that the argument for Newsom is that he's inevitable while he's not even the polling favorite

Austin PD was involved in this. US citizen deported with her mother.

"APD officers notified ICE, under its Detainer Request policy, GO 318.3.4, and federal authorities arrived and took custody of the woman and her child."
Her mother called 911 for help… and got turned into ICE instead.

They placed her and her five year old daughter in a hotel and told them not to contact anyone.

ICE didn’t want the community fighting for them.

Mother & daughter have been deported to Honduras and the local police were complicit.
ICE deports 5-year-old US citizen from TX to Honduras, group says
Génesis Ester Gutiérrez Castellanos and her mom were arrested in Austin on January 5.

Every time I see this guy I think he's GOP. Must be because both of his parents are/were GOP.

If you support Gavin Newsom as a future presidential candidate, I would respectfully ask you to spend just 15 minutes today doing some research. Randomly pick issues you think a Democrat should have the right answer for and look up what Newsom has said. I guarantee you that your support won't last.

ICE seems to get completely flummoxed when they’re being yelled at by white men over 35. They kind of put their heads down and shuffle their feet. It’s like their kryptonite.

Access to fresh water. Why they went after Chicago, too. All the other states, when broken down to the county level, are red all around the Great Lakes.

Aside from the usual, I like how he jumps from LA to AK.

There's a BIG chunk of land taken from MX in between those 2 things, not to mention the state of HI.
the fact that Republican senators like Schmitt can’t even write a fascist screed on their own and instead have to rely on chatGPT perfectly captures the unique combination of evil and stupid that defines the modern Republican Party

They are kidnapping non-white people, regardless of status only to sort them out later, often not even taking them to the federal building but abandoning them beaten miles from where they were. And they are brutalizing witnesses, most of whom are white citizens who only have whistles and phones.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

No federal judge has the power or authority to make DOJ comply with the mandatory provisions of the Epstein Act, says Pam Bondi. It's unenforceable and meaningless. Essentially, DOJ is a lawless if not criminal enterprise, not a law enforcement agency, at this point.
