Good news: The wheels finally seem to be in motion for some sort of punishment to come out of Sunday’s postgame melee
Bad news: Miami seems to be positioning themselves for an appeal and aren’t exactly accepting responsibility.

She was recently postpartum, breastfeeding & put in an all-male facility. She was detained for 2.5 months.

I keep thinking about how Gov Abbott had plenty of funds to fly and bus migrants all across the country but couldn't come up with a million for a flood warning system.

Democracies do not use their military to try and intimidate their own citizens with “shows of presence”.
This is fascism.

Military documents confirm that the LA operation today was a “show of presence” intended to send a message to LA residents about the power of the federal government.
After staging with armed soldiers and Border Patrol agents on horse, they packed up and left after a short walk.

A square mile doesn’t justify a $134 million military occupation, troops sleeping in squalor, or ICE agents terrorizing our communities. Americans feel unsafe. This Saturday, on #NoKingsDay, let’s show up in numbers—and send a message: we will not be ruled by a mad king.

ICE-cosplay Barbie thought Sen. Padilla was being "disrespectful"? Seriously? Why don't you step out of your bunker and talk to us Californians. We'd be happy to demonstrate actual disrespect anytime. And it will be well deserved.

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.
If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

Justice Sotomayor, writing in today's deportation case. How many times must she write, "With fear for our democracy, I dissent," before Republicans get the point? Perhaps only when, as the poem goes, they come for them.
