The greatest mystery of my life is how anyone ever took this piss-frosted dickdrip seriously.
Trump is now confusing Greenland and Iceland: "They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland has already cost us a lot of money."

This new whistleblower report is on par with the Zelensky call - not just because it’s violative of law - but because they also tried to keep people from seeing it. I’ve been doing this for a long time and this is absolutely explosive news. Impeachable and criminal. Swift accountability must follow.

The United States president has spent his entire life refusing to live up to the bargains he strikes. The world knows the truth that Mark Carney said aloud today. And like Canada, we as Americans need to accept it and choose our path forward. (Thread)

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control.

Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.

I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.

I need to share with you what I saw.

True for science too.

If in the future universities are amoral enough to take back the Trump people who did so much harm to science and public health, scientists and faculty must push back - or give up on the idea of free and open science and academia.

When this is over, amoral anti-American law firms like Jones Day will eagerly be running Operation Paperclip for the lawless scum of the Trump DoJ like D. John Sauer, and the profession has to find a way to inflict debilitating harm on those firms and their managers or give up on the rule of law.
After Sauer says Lisa Cook "was given an opportunity" to respond to the allegations, KBJ asks whether that due process was: "She supposed to post about it, and that was the opportunity to be heard?"

Yes, Sauer replies.

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Call your reps.
So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE.

There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it.

Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance.

24 hours. Go.

4. Republicans doing nothing
5. Democrats still likely finding ICE

The United States government used armed thugs to kidnap a 5-year-old child off an American street, separate him from his dad, traffic him to another state, and sling him into a scary & unsafe concentration camp.

"This is not who we are!!!"

Yes, unfortunately, it now is.
Here’s the report from KARE. The boy is five-year-old Liam Ramos.

Orin is probably the preeminent fourth amendment scholar in the United States. He is also extremely professional. This is the way he says "I wish a bitch would try"
This DHS memorandum says that the DHS General Counsel's office has adopted a new position that the Fourth Amendment allows entry into the home to make an arrest just based on an administrative warrant.

I would like to see that argument.

ICE-Gestapo have now changed policy to allow their murderous agents to illegally enter homes without a judicial warrant.

I repeat once again, they aren’t law enforcement, they are a domestic fascist terrorist group that should’ve been abolished long ago.

Watch this brief video. Share it widely. And then say “Fuck ICE.”👇
This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.

Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.
