And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy.
The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

Stop. We're not rioting here in Los Angeles. Trump isn't removing criminals. He's scooping up our friends and neighbors and denying them due process. We're protecting them with our bodies and making it difficult for ICE to commit these crimes. There is a difference.

If you've been hearing people tell you to call your senators & you keep putting it off - today is the day to do it anyway. Trumps agenda cannot pass.
They snuck in a castration of the courts ability to hold members of the executive branch in contempt. This is the LAST check on power that we have!

Great read! If there’s no data to confirm or refute what they’re telling you, you’re only choice is to believe what they say.
NEW: In agency after agency, the U.S. government is losing its capacity to measure how American society is functioning, making it much harder to gauge the nature and scale of the problems we are facing and the effectiveness of policies.

New in PN: How to steal a state supreme court seat with one weird trick
"Republicans succeeded in changing the rules not midgame but literally after they lost. Nothing will stop them from doing this again and again, making a mockery of elections and injecting confusion into results."

The tariffs are catastrophic. But so too are the abuses of power, so is the corruption, so are the police state tactics, so is the destruction of our health care infrastructure, so are the ways our national security is being endangered, so are the attacks on our core freedoms.

This is absolutely heartbreaking!!! Abortion is healthcare!!!!!
I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action.
She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound.
This is what bans do.

The reality here is very simple: Trump thinks there is no limit on his power, that he can spend money how he likes, jail who he likes, rule by fiat, criminalize criticism of himself. He is breaking the law and ignoring the Constitution. And we can either acknowledge that or keep pretending he isn’t.
