Tweet by Melanie D’Arrigo pointing out that Republicans control every branch of government while quoting a GOP post blaming Democrats for long TSA lines.
The GOP could end the DHS shutdown immediately by agreeing that ICE should act like any other law enforcement agency.
It is true that there is a lot of popular sentiment about this, but it is insane and made up.
I think this story is a really good example for people to look at when it comes to understanding bias at NYT. It's not that the reporter, Dana Rubinstein, says anything outright false. But the framing, word choices, etc., add up to an unprofessional and biased account.
goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024

VICTORY: ICE released Antonio Yesayahu Gámez-Cuéllar, high school senior & award-winning mariachi trumpeter.
With Garcia & Garcia Attorneys at Law, our legal team filed a parole request on Antonio’s behalf.
We're thrilled that he is free, thanks to the courageous activism of friends & community.
Mark Lee Dickson holds up two teddy bears, one pink and one gray, at an Austin City Council meeting in 2019. The bears themselves are holding fuzzy picture frames that contain ultrasound images and the pink bear's frame says "it's a girl." Dickson is, as always, wearing a backwards baseball hat.
I was serious about the bears: Sometimes he'd convince "abortion-minded" women to come "to a 4D ultrasound facility where he asked the technician to record the sound of the fetal heart tones and implant it into two teddy bears: one for the woman; one for him"

Allow @amylittlefield.bsky.social to introduce you to self-admitted virgin pastor who ended abortion in Texas and is working to ban it nationwide. Mark Lee Dickson has a collection of teddy bears that play audio from women's ultrasounds and doesn't appear in public without a backwards baseball hat
“In a statement on Saturday, Ms. De La Cruz said the family’s detention ‘breaks my heart.’”
But she voted for the bill that made ICE the highest-funded “law enforcement” agency in our nation.

The College Republicans of America just appointed a groyper as their political director. Kai Schwemmer was in Fuentes' inner circle in 2021, & since then has strategically downplayed his support to avoid controversy. CRA claims over 300 campus chapters across the country
Tweet from TN Rep. Andy Ogles saying that "Muslims don't belong in American society"
The absolute most disgusting, eliminationist Islamophobia from multiple members of the House Republican caucus continues to spew forth without acknowledgment or censure
(1/2) In case you missed it, it's very much worth noting that days ago, Virginia passed a bill banning schools from teaching that Jan 6 was peaceful, or that the 2020 election was stolen.
The bill passed mostly on party-line votes, and Gov. Spanberger is expected to sign it.
The old footage of Trump at a dignified transfer ceremony didn't just air on Fox News -- it aired on local Fox affiliates that are regulated by the FCC. attn: Brendan Carr. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/sho...
Third Way and other "moderate" Democratic groups and elites constantly bash progressive politicians and ideas. But moderate Democratic VOTERS really like raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations, Medicare-for-all, and Bernie Sanders. newrepublic.com/article/2074...
So how about it, Mr. Chairman? Why not launch a probe to find out whether Fox’s editing issue was “inadvertent,” as they claim — or, as certainly seems possible given the network’s record, “an intentional effort to mislead the American people”?

Racial profiling is the most important immigration policy in the last year. We went from having effectively no problem with this at all in January 2025 to over 2,000 people per week being arrested for no reason (and that number excludes all the US citizens targeted)
All of a sudden, the Islamic Republic of Iran nuclear issue has disappeared.
And to be clear, no other tweet from the State Department regarding this speech mentions the nuclear issue.
To see how all of this works, consider one of the LLCs that sits furthest from the top. Trump Ruffin Commercial LLC is owned by Trump Ruffin Tower I LLC which is owned by Trump Ruffin LLC which is owned in part by Trump Las Vegas Managing Member LLC which is owned in part by DJT Holdings LLC which is owned in part by DJT Holdings Managing Member LLC which is owned by The Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust.
In the newsletter this week, I mapped out the nearly 400 LLCs in which the president reports an ownership stake.

This repeats yet another pattern from the Iraq War. When the Iraqis did not behave as the Americans wanted — without the deference and gratitude that a foreign military occupier felt it was due — they became targets.
Another tragic example of how Trump’s indiscriminate immigration raids are targeting the most vulnerable among us, including the family of a deaf child seeking asylum.
The cruelty is astounding.
Will do all I can to try to reverse this. www.latimes.com/california/s...
I’ve had to tell so many parents that their sons & daughters were dead, had been murdered. Their screams, their silences, their faces, their collapses, cling to me like cobwebs I can’t ever shake.
Our leaders, so callous with death as games or memes or brags, know nothing of grief, only of greed.
23 year old Ruben Ray Martinez’s last words? “I’m sorry sir”.
ICE shot him 3 times and killed him.
Renee Good’s last words? “It’s ok I’m not mad”.
Alex Pretti’s last words? “Are you ok?”
These are the people DHS calls domestic terrorists. Threats. Aggressors.
Abolish ICE
"Martinez was not protesting - he was driving by the scene of a road accident where ICE officers were helping to direct traffic."
"... he was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger." Attorneys for Martinez's mother
She should be remembered as a vicious fascist who had no qualms about terrorizing, killing, and defaming people while running an agency that should not exist.
This.
President Obama is speaking at the Rev Jesse Jackson's Memorial, and it is pure oratorial brilliance. Articulacy, humanity, caring emotion, perspective, life lessons, truth, and wit with modulation, technique, vocabulary, and love.
Trump has none of these things. Not even one.
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
"Most people with drug convictions would never get their ICE detainer removed just because the conviction was pardoned."
