We have a President that announces military action on fucking social media and ends it with "Thank you for your attention to this matter". Seriously, fuck all the way off. This is serious stuff that requires an announcement from the Oval Office - oh yeah, and maybe Congressional approval too.

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.
Breaking News: Brad Lander, the New York City comptroller who is running for mayor, was detained by ICE agents at an immigration court as he tried to escort a migrant out of the courthouse to prevent his arrest. nyti.ms/4jWkANE

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

Yeah if I thought there was even a 5% chance of being renditioned to Gitmo or El Salvador for the crime of leaving my passport at the hotel, I would simply not travel. This is going to kill tourism.
DHS confirmed that ICE and CBP agents will be on site “for security” at the start of the FIFA Club World Cup at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. ICE also reminded non-U.S. citizens to carry proof of legal status while attending the event.

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
At some point we're going to have to stop asking "when is (insert name) going to step up and say he's gone to far" and realize that maybe they are ok with the president's actions. We must realize that no one is going to swoop in and "save" us, it has to be us... we the people.
Good morning

Me, lookin at the sky with my hands on my hips:
"Look, if you're gonna rain, then RAIN already. I mowed AND skipped watering my flowers in anticipation for this, so chop chop let's go."

Absolutely *love* that I planted a tree in my backyard specifically so that my dog would have a shady place to lay and instead he spends 90% of his time laying juuuust beyond its shadow. 🥴😆

So this might be controversial coming the day after May the Fourth but Star Wars The Phantom Menace is NOT a terrible film and I will happily duel anyone to the death over this opinion.

On the anniversary of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s passing, we reflect on the legacy of a leader who met crisis with courage & clarity.
As he reminded us: "The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith."

America did some Good Trouble today. Keep it up, folks!! 👏👏👏
To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.
—With love,
Your American allies.

I know us millennials have the running joke of "Oh, we are tired of living through crazy historical events" but I tell you what, watching the Cory Booker filibuster is exactly the kind of history I want to witness more of.
