ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

Federal agents visited the home of a man who had sent a scathing email to a top ICE official after two demonstrators were killed. Now, a free-speech watchdog is suing the Trump administration, arguing that the agents’ actions were intended to intimidate the man.

In addition to being illegal and immoral, this is also how you get increasingly radicalized and disruptive protests. If an entirely legitimate and peaceful protest gets punished anyway, no reason not to go further.

The Houston Chronicle, largest newspaper in Houston endorse James Talarico! 👏 Writing, “Texans deserve better than Ken Paxton’s moral rot’… Paxton’s documented deeds prove he’s a man of low character, lacking integrity. An extremely very poor candidate for an even more powerful political office.

It’s so bad that it feeds the poor, takes care of the sick, makes our streets safer, life less stressful +more affordable and costs the majority little and the Uber wealthy only their fair share in taxes that they have gotten away with not paying for decades!

Trump wants us to believe his investments are in a blind trust and the people investing miraculously just happen to invest in things he is about to take action on. His supporters may buy this shit but hopefully voters won't. What he is doing is illegal and un-Constitutional.

Putting this into a main text threaded post instead of only alt text and replies: Yes, it looks like Grant is surrendering to the proud, noble Lee. That’s the point. It’s a Redeemer/ Lost Cause / Dunning School painting from the 1920s. It’s Confederate agitprop. And now the White House is using it.

🚨 HUGE ongoing surge of ICE arrests, with ICE directing 80% of all officers to go out into the field and round people up, aiming to hit 2,000 arrests a day; which would be more than during the Minneapolis surge. This may be why the nun in Texas got briefly picked up. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...
