Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.

This is one that stands out:

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.

A U.S. citizen dragged out of his home, barely clothed, into the cold.
A 5-year-old detained on his way home from preschool.

This is the reality of what ICE is doing with their $75 billion budget. Wouldn’t this be better spent on health care?

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.

This isn’t controversial.

A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.

Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma schools chief who wants bibles in the classroom and Christianity taught to kids, just got caught watching adult content.

On his work computer.

During a Board of Education meeting.

Read that again.

The opposite of universal basic income.
Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Today's history lesson.
Fun fact: Mike Lee is a direct descendant of John D. Lee, the only person executed for the massacre of 120+ men, women and children at Mountain Meadows in southern Utah

The victims were Missouri immigrants on their way to California

Sept. 11, 1857

It's like everyone seems to know this except the mainstream journalists.
Trump created the problem. The single reason Iran was so close to obtaining a nuclear weapon is that Trump destroyed the diplomatic agreement that put major, verifiable constraints on their nuclear program.

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

LAPD’s Chief says they still have no idea what the military’s mission in LA is.

There are no open deconfliction channels between the military and local law enforcement.

Having multiple groups with weapons operating in the same area with no way to communicate is fucking insane.

Just a reminder that these were scenes after the Dodgers won the World Series last fall, including buses burning, stores looted, fires, Mexican flags waving - all on scale dwarfing anything that has happened in LA now.

And no one called for the Marines being sent in

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

This seems like a great day to remind Bluesky that Stephen Miller lived four doors down from me freshman year

And our student council person asked him (and everyone) to sign a birthday card for our dorm’s janitor

And he threw a tantrum and wrote an op-ed about not socializing with “the help.”

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen.

Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy.

She’s lived here 48 years.
They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her.

She. Is. A. Citizen.
