One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys.
Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman.
There is no justification for this. None.

There is too much gun violence. There are too many guns. There is too much violent rhetoric which includes that which celebrates guns more than lives. There is too much said in our body politic which minimizes other humans for a variety of reasons. None of this leads to good outcomes.

Vought has to go. Miller has to go. Collins seems ‘concerned’ again. The cruelty is the point.
MERKLEY: How do you feel about being responsible for hundreds of thousands of kids dying because of your sudden interruption in these key programs?
VOUGHT: I reject the assertion
MERKLEY: I find your response both ignorant & callous. Few Americans have had a more devastating & disastrous impact

Fuck the conservative court
Today, the Supreme Court once again ripped up healthcare rights. The MAGA justices just ruled that Medicaid patients can’t sue to enforce their right to choose their healthcare provider. This is a devastating decision.

Decision could embolden red states in US to block clinics that provide abortions from receiving Medicaid funds

Pull off the masks! Transparency is demanded.
Federal and local law enforcement wearing masks is just plain unamerican. It’s a cowards move, and shows the fact that the kinds of deportations happening and the methods are, shameful and unpopular.

Ted Cruz just said Mr. Abrego has been charged with Human Trafficking. Cruz proclaims "I read every word of that indictment!" Apparently not, because Abrego was not charged with human trafficking.
I hope this comes up in a motion to dismiss the charges.

Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is ousting all members of a key CDC vaccination advisory committee and replacing them with his own picks.
The move appears to contradict a pledge he made during his confirmation process.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Lest we forget the other dumpster fires lurking around the Big Feud between the Big Babies.
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.”
