REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

We are in a serious govt shutdown, but instead of negotiating, Trump posted several pics of his WH bathroom remodel today and now this. He is currently headed to Palm Beach for another golf weekend.

ICE is hog tying protesters in Portland and removing them on Dollies.
This is dangerous and could cause serious injury.
The Department of Homeland Security thinks it’s a joke.
They’ve shared this video with the tagline “Refuse to Walk? We’ll give you a ride”.
Stay strong Portland.

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.
Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

Remember in 2024 when South Korea’s president declared martial law in order to cling to power and 1 million people protested?
Then both parties immediately impeached AND removed him from office, leading to him being arrested earlier this year for inciting an insurrection?
Okay good. Me, too…

I’d say that @stephencolbert.bsky.social is (with the lone exception of @maddow.msnbc.com) the most brilliant, humane person I’ve encountered in broadcasting. His mind works faster than anyone else’s at a level of sophistication that is unmatchable. Genuinely a generational talent.

We’re heading into an era of climate uncertainties with more extreme extremes. We have unemployed meteorologists all over this nation. They should be employed in state Govs, county Govs, city Govs, corporations, sports/venues, and so on.
We need mass Meteorology hiring!

Whenever law enforcement agents are given a quota of a specific number of people to arrest or detain, especially with the WH policy director screaming at their superiors to hit those target numbers, bad things are going to happen. Quotas always result in civil rights violations.

The thing about cancer is, Trump is making it easy for polluters to dump cancer-causing chemicals into our air and water, while defunding and firing people who work on cancer cures, while also ending millions of people’s ability to afford cancer treatment.

They are charging a sitting congresswoman with a crime for performing her lawfully required oversight of ICE.
This is an incredibly undemocratic step that should make people painfully aware of where we are at.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!
