I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles
Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

The Senate version makes the cuts even worse, if that's possible. Insane.
The Senate is working on a spending bill will rip health coverage away from 16 million middle- & low-income Americans by slashing hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars from our health care. Tell Congress protect our health care! https://action.momsrising.org/sign/2025_Protect_ACA/?source=blog
Quick signature: Protect the ACA and Medicaid!
The Republican spending bill currently being considered by Congress will make massive cuts to the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid!

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing.

ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him.

SEIU California | SEIU California President David Huerta Injured, Detained at ICE Raid in Los Angeles
We are proud of President Huerta’s righteous participation as a community observer, in keeping with his long history of advocating for immigrant workers and with the highest values of our movement…

Absolutely disgusting
🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles.

Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

When the worst person you know gets bitten by a snake, you don’t try to befriend the snake. You observe said biting from a considerable distance and enjoy the schadenfreude.

The Trump administration has defied another federal court order by deporting at least two immigrants to war-torn South Sudan. Their lawyers were notified via email on Mon. evening and by Tues. morning, the men were already on a plane with 10 other deportees. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Delaying Mexican tariffs but not Canadian puts the lie to the idea that the tariffs have anything to do with fentanyl flows (since there are effectively no fentanyl flows across the northern border and there plenty across the southern border.) It was all an empty pretext anyway. This just proves it.

The biggest story in the country right now is how many lawsuits DOJ is losing trying to defend Musk and Trump. I've never seen so many courts, so clearly outraged at the federal government. The latest one, blocks cuts at HHS and FDA.

We’re in for weeks of this on end. One of Musk’s tween haxx0rz stumbles into a complicated system they don’t understand, thinks they’ve discovered something earthshattering the veteran dunces never noticed, relays to Musk who also doesn’t understand, and broadcasts it to millions of followers.

Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.

So Trump, JD Vance, and Pete Hegseth respond to the DC tragedy by making it about race and diversity with zero evidence or anything to back up their wild, irresponsible, divisive assertions. This is both awful leadership and them all overtly indulging their most amoral, garbage instincts.

They wanted you to believe they had an airtight plan. Resistance was futile. They were ready. The first week shows they’re same idiots with the more hubris and incompetence. Stop being afraid and get louder. Don’t believe their bullshit. We aren’t afraid of Ketamine Leon or Temu Nosferatu.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
