NEW: Letitia James, the New York attorney general, announced that her office will deploy "legal observers" to document ICE activity in NY.

Her office says the effort is the first of its kind by an AG.

New training video up, and this is for all the folks who I've been hearing from lately who are new to activism and desperately want to get involved but aren't sure how.

Here's your step-by-step guide about how to become an effective activist in this incredibly difficult era.

"And all of this is happening not after the great shocks of a depression or a world war, not at a time when the country was reeling from earth-shattering events...The rise of Trump came at a time of relative peace and prosperity. We have no excuse for having succumbed to the degree we already have."

I mentioned a couple of days ago that I am finished watching this government arrest Black journalists as lawless federal agents shoot innocent unarmed people in the street.

Before they did this to Minneapolis and Portland, they did it in Chicago in Operation Midway Blitz. (Cont)

Donald Trump is reposting crazy conspiracies about foreign interference with the 2020 election. Tulsi Gabbard's presence at the site of the Fulton County raid should worry all of us who care about free and fair elections.

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

EPSTEIN-TRUMP.

DOJ claimed today, when it disclosed damning new evidence about Trump and Epstein, that the Trump allegations are false.
That claim carries as much weight as when the Trump administration said Ms Good and Mr Pretti are domestic terrorists and.

I don't think people understand that if you shut down the government, ICE and CBP do NOT shut down. They're funded by supplemental money from the BBB. That's why dems are separating the DHS funding bill and asking for restrictions. I want them to demand a rescission of that funding or shut DHS down

Your secondary instint should be, And how can I build on that the week after?

You are all ABSOLUTELY entitled to your correct opinion that Chuck Schumer's messaging sucks.

But don't waste your time whining while he bought you two weeks. Bc this is legislative success.

🚨 The Senate has agreed to a deal to vote on 5/6 full appropriations bills and replace the DHS funding measure with a 2-week stopgap bill, per multiple sources. That gives time to negotiate on the Dem demands for ICE and CBP restraints.

if I were to start taking the ABUNDANCE people seriously they'd have to first show me they're actually paying attention to U.S. policy on more than the most superficial of levels

then they'd have to demonstrate the understanding that open, grotesque corruption is "abundance's" biggest obstacle

There’s a reason prison guards aren’t supposed to be used on the streets for law enforcement. They’re not trained for this.

In a document unsealed tonight, here is a declaration from last June from Carlos Alexander Osorto, one of the previously detained named plaintiffs in Vasquez Perdomo v. Noem, the case that resulted in the SCOTUS order allowing racial profiling of Latinos working low-wage jobs, aka Kavanaugh stops.
DECLARATION OF CARLOS ALEXANDER OSORTO I, Carlos Alexander Osorto, declare the following based on my personal knowledge: 1. I make this declaration from my personal knowledge and if called to testify to these facts I could and would do so competently. 2. My name is Carlos Alexander Osorto. I am 50 years old. I am Hispanic. 3. I havelived in Pasadena, California for about 14 years. I am a day laborer. I work in construction. I have built homes all over Los Angeles. I am a proud grandfather to seven U.S. citizen grandchildren, ages 2-13, including two step-grandchildren. 4. On June 18, 2025 around 5:50 A.M., I was sitting on a bench at the Metro stop in front of Winchell's Donuts near the corner of Orange Grove Boulevard and Los Robles Avenue in Pasadena, CA waiting to be picked up for a construction job. I was with a few co-workers. We were drinking coffee and things were calm. 5. Suddenly, my coworker said to me, "those cars seem strange." I looked up and saw four unmarked, regular sedans with tinted windows and no license plates had pulled up in front of and surrounding us. They came up quickly and really scared me. At that moment, the car doors swung open and at least four men in masks and civilian clothes with guns strapped to their legs started running at us. One of the men had a large gun. They did not identify themselves; they just started running. None of them had visible badges, just a vest. I was terrified. I didn't know who the men were and I was afraid they would hurt me. It felt like mercenaries, like a kidnapping. For weeks, I had seen videos and heard stories of these things happening all around Los Angeles. ... I got up and tried to run. I heard the men yelling "stop!" but they still did not identify themselves as immigration or any type of law enforcement officers. Soon, one of the men caught up to me. He pointed what looked like a gun, but I think it was a taser, over my heart and yelled "stop or I'll use it!" I stopped immediately. He handcuffed me without asking any questions, or identifying himself, and took me back to the bench. My coworkers were already in handcuffs when I got back. 7. We were each put in a different car. The men droveus two blocks over to a CVS parking lot, which was empty at that time. They removed us from the cars. All of the officers had guns and tasers strapped to their legs. One had a big gun, like you would have in war, and he held it in front of his chest. It was very intimidating. 8. One of the men asked me if I had papers. I said no. This was the first time I was asked for my immigration papers. I was already handcuffed, but they chained me in three places: my feet, my waist, and my wrists. Then they put me back in the car and drove me to a jail. I was never informed that there was any warrant for my arrest. 9. When we arrived at the jail, the men who arrested us put on their jackets and uniform that said police. Officers took my fingerprints and photo. They asked me lots of questions and got mad when I did not want to answer. 10. The jail was already really full. Some people had been there for days. The officers kept yelling "No water! No food! No medicine!" when people would ask for help. I was held there for two days and then they moved us. I was shackled again at my feet, waist and wrists and moved to Adelanto, where I am currently detained. 11. At Adelanto I am held in a cell with three other men. There is one toilet in the room that we have to share with no privacy. I am afraid for my safety here. I saw a man fall and hit his head. We told the officers, but they told us just to leave him there and that he did not need medical care. Another man was banging his head against the wall repeatedly because he was in so much pain from a toothache, but the officers said there was nothing they could do about it. 12. The doctor who screened me told me I have dangerously high blood pressure. I have never had high blood pressure before, I think it is the stress from this whole situation. I have been scared and sad and overwhelmed by the arrest and my detention. 3 2 Case 2:25-cv-05605-MEMF-SP Document 390-1 Page ID #:1930 Filed 07/27/26 Page 28 of 138 13. I think I was targeted for arrest because I am Latino and because I was in my construction clothes. I am afraid that I am likely to be arrested again for the same reason. I declare under penalty of perjury of the laws of the State of California and the United States that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed at Adelanto, California on June 27, 2025. Carlos Alexander Osorto

The puppy-killing ICE Barbie has been benched; Greg Bovino, the cosplaying Himmler has been fired. And Trump has dispatched Border Czar Tom Homan to Minneapolis.
But we should stifle any naive exuberance about what’s happening here.

Bovino is not leaving Minneapolis cause he wants to. Not cause Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Vance or Trump want him to go.

He’s leaving because the extraordinary “ordinary” citizens of that great city - by peacefully protesting en masse - kicked him out.

Lesson to be learned. We have power.

Kyle Rittenhouse was a hero to the right, but Pretti was a “domestic terrorist” for having a legal gun. The double standard with some on the right is astonishing. Alex Pretti’s murder will go down in history as a turning point in this Administration.
