Since the start of Trump’s second term, federal agents have detained at least 70 American children. In one instance, a 15-year-old with disabilities was handcuffed outside a school in Los Angeles when agents mistook him for an alleged gang member.

More Than 500 U.S. Citizens Have Been Detained, Including Handcuffed or Held at Gunpoint, in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown — ProPublica

The government doesn’t track how often immigration officers detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did. We’ve found more than 500 Americans who were held against their will during this Trump administrati...

I think they need a blue City Connect jersey, though. There’s too much white. I really expect more out of the Paxton campaign.

They do have a bit of a “so bad they’re actually good” quality about them. Like an old school Astros jersey or just about any ‘70s MLB jersey. Except those White Sox ones. Those will always be hideous.

Also just noticed the blue pants and tutu which is definitely not a good look with the white jerseys. Maybe they’re meant to evoke the horror of these White Sox abominations, though.

Why are there 3 different white home jerseys, though? Talarico’s is perhaps a little staid but I don’t care for the horizontal striping on back left or the pinstripe/sleeve striping combo on back right at all. Anyone know if Paul Lukas of Uni Watch fame is on here?

I wonder if anyone will actually ask JD Vance how he squares his presumed support for Hegseth’s recently announced lynching party with the Catholic Church’s opposition to capital punishment.

David S. Pumpkins 🎃 @davehageman.bsky.social · 17h

It’ll be interesting to see what the Catholics in the Trump regime have to say about this and Hegseth’s lynching party when both are clearly contrary to Catholic doctrine. I’m sure some energizing reporter will ask JD Vance about it.

ICE is a lawless and reckless operation—detaining more than 500 U.S. citizens. They're violating Americans' constitutional rights and then gaslighting the public about what we can see with our own eyes. These are textbook authoritarian tactics. projects.propublica.org/american-cit...

This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her. Small changes won't fix this. FLIP THE TABLE NOW

Every car looks like every other car. Car makers should make quirky, relatively inexpensive, relatively bare bones EVs and make money on selling upgrades (100s of different paint colors and designs, tail fins, interior upgrades, whatever the fuck so people have a unique ride). Also ban car dealers.

Well, I think gas-powered cars should be banned, too, so that takes care of the oil problem.

David S. Pumpkins 🎃 @davehageman.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

This is why anything bigger than a Subaru Outback should be banned. Can’t buy and drive a Ford Leviathan Dreadnought XXL if they’re illegal.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

What a lie. Some of these people are being imprisoned indefinitely in squalid condition in African prisons. Others report being beaten and arbitrarily deported in violation of international law back to their home countries, where they face persecution or torture.

The indefinite nature of their confinement has taken a severe toll. In October 2025, a Cuban man who was on the July flight went on a hunger strike for a month-until he started showing signs of organ failure —to protest the conditions of his detention, including his ongoing confinement and lack of access to legal counsel.
Terrified of being imprisoned in Eswatini forever, another man repeatedly told his attorney that the prison there never lets people go. One man told his attorney that he feels like a caged animal with no end in sight. The prison does not have air conditioning, making the hot, humid summer months especially uncomfortable for the men.
Food is insufficient, medication is scarce, and requests often go unmet or are belatedly met.
