I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC
I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.
I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

When a great movie or mini-series is made based on what we are living through, they’d better include the Great Sandwich Assault
“Lairmore said he ‘could feel it through his ballistic vest’ and it ‘exploded all over’ him after the Subway stack hit him. He said he ‘could smell the onions and mustard’ on his uniform, and even had an onion string hanging by his police radio later that night.”
This court case is pure gold.

Border Patrol agent testifies sandwich thrown at him "exploded all over," left mustard stains
Sean Dunn has been charged with a misdemeanor felony count for throwing a sandwich at a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agent during President Trump's federal takeover of D.C.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.
Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.
And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

Get back to work is such a funny thing for a congressman to say but i bet there are a lot of conservatives looking up from a few hours playing candy crush or hay fever and nodding their heads solemnly bsky.app/profile/atru...
Mike Johnson: "We said, 'don't sit on your couch and play video games'- by the way, also not a talking point. There was an AEI study, I think one of the organizations that polled this, and most of these young men who are not working are sitting around literally playing video games. Get back to work"

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

Trump’s increasingly bizarre behavior can no longer be attributed to a calculated “strategy.”

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

Why aren't Democratic leaders holding daily press conferences to list out every single authoritarian action he's taking each day? Please. Start now. Stop waiting for what the polls say. Stop looking to consultants for what language to use. Speak plainly about fascism now. START NOW!

If Trump is going back to the well with the stolen election lies and mail-in ballot nonsense maybe now is a good time to remind everyone there was a whole series of hearings and witness interviews with his own people about this?
