This could just be another relatively routine night in the police state or it could be a kind of turning point. Not sure it will be good if it's the latter, but if it is it was always going to be the great people of Los Angeles.

Stephen Miller is fulfilling his high school wet dream of terrorizing all the Brown people in Los Angeles. My daughter's friends who went to SaMo High with him said he used to seethe while the morning announcements were repeated in Spanish. Hell, they did that when I went there. (Mesozoic age.)

This should be a wake-up call to other states: your National Guard can be federalized and used against your own people. Massachusetts must reestablish the Massachusetts State Defense Force—disbanded by Charlie Baker—to ensure we retain control over our own security forces. @massgovernor.bsky.social

In the past, UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS were deported to their HOME COUNTRIES without excessive VIOLENCE. ✌️ This administration is sending MILITARIZED ICE units into communities with EXCESSIVE FORCE and threatening to send them to CONCENTRATION CAMPS elsewhere. 👨‍✈️ ☠️ 🚔 This is INCITEMENT to VIOLENCE 🧨

Christian Nationalists pretend that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, but the Constitution never mentions Jesus or Christianity. Not even once. Instead, it bans government promotion of *any* religion. Don't be fooled by their lying propaganda.

🧵 Pete Buttigieg said it best: “Budgets are moral documents.” So what does it say when Trump meets with House Republicans to push a budget that guts Medicaid and explodes the debt? If your rep promised to protect Medicaid or cut spending—now’s the time to remind them. Loudly. See thread for actions.

Remember that the ICE agents claimed they were looking for a totally different person before they smashed this guy’s car windows? And how he had asylum already? Well, looks like that might not have even been a ruse. ICE didn’t even file a notice to appear in court, they clearly had nothing on him.
At a hearing this week, the case against Méndez was thrown out after Department of Homeland Security (DHS) attorneys failed to present a charging document.
"The judge said, I'm going to deem this a failure to prosecute and the case is closed, dismissed," Méndez's attorney, Ondine Galvez Sniffin, told
NBC 10. "That's it."
Sniffin said the DHS attorney did not say a single word.
"He could have said, Your honor, we'll be filing [charges] within the hour.' Could have asked for a second call. Could have said they reserve the right to appeal," she said. "Absolute silence.
Nothing."

US Attorney Habba & ©
@USAttyHabba

The Mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka, committed trespass and ignored multiple warnings from Homeland Security Investigations to remove himself from the ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey this afternoon. He has willingly chosen to disregard the law. That will not stand in this state. He has been taken into custody. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.
