“Abolish ICE” is the most minimal, milquetoast conceivable ask for doing away with those scoundrels, at this point.

America's Voice@americasvoice.bsky.social

"ICE agents were caught on video pulling one teen from the car and punching him repeatedly in the face while he lay on the ground. The other teen, Luis Ochoa, said he informed the ICE agents he was a citizen but was told, 'I don’t give a damn.… Your parents can’t help you now.'"

Abolish ICE

David J. Bier@davidjbier.bsky.social

The videos can't capture the scope of what's happening. ICE is out of control. ICE accosted a man on his way to a medical appointment, handcuffed him, and forced him back to his house. Agents conducted a warrantless invasion of his home, where his 3 minor US citizen kids lived

Putting it in writing the SEC should know that this is a joke, my brain is far too smooth to crash the DOW through telepathic brain power. Not a crime to imagine line go down tho 😏

25th amendment ASAP, he fears a dem lead house and senate because he'll be kicked TF out!

People have become jaded to it, but a President who threatens to outlaw media in a free society should be immediately removed from office. Trump's words are completely antithetical to the core American commitments of free speech and free press.

How Trumpism is like Stalinism. A thread. 🧵🧵🧵 Many people make valid comparisons of Trumpism to Nazism. But I think MAGA authoritarianism bears more similarities to Joseph Stalin's Soviet Union – ruthless, paranoid, dishonest and determined to climb into every aspect of the lives of his people.

One of today's political prisoners. Cartoonist & zine maker Daniel Rolando Sanchez Estrada wasn't even at the ICE protest. He was accused of "moving" a box of anti-Trump zines THE NEXT DAY. A rightwing judge sentenced him to 30 years! Just for possessing zines. The darkness is descending.

Ryan Estrada@ryanestrada.com

A cartoonist named Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada was tried as a terrorist and sentenced to 30 years in prison for having anti-Trump comics in his car. Prosecutors connected him to a 2025 anti-ICE protest he didn't even attend because he was in the same book club as others who were.

"unpaid labor" is a hell of a way to describe slavery

Capital B@capitalb.bsky.social

A new Louisiana law could subject unhoused people to fines, jail time, or even unpaid labor if they are found sleeping outdoors. The National Homelessness Law Center says it is “one of the cruelest anti-homeless bills in the country.” https://bit.ly/4ed9gNN

SCOOP: So remember Dialog, Peter Thiel's private society that doesn't have a public website and no public list of members? I (along with a number of other journalists) have just been tipped off that embedded in the code of their closed off website there IS what seems to be a list of some members.

Where is the press? “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there’s highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children, of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. So I encourage the press to go look at these allegations.” Rep. Ted Lieu

This is truly one of the worst things the court has done — both in terms of legitimacy and in terms of the law — since I have been covering the court.

BREAKING: In an unsigned, per curiam opinion on the shadow docket, the SCOTUS conservatives allow Alabama to use a congressional map held repeatedly by a lower court to have been enacted with discriminatory intent.
