"Here legally, engaged in a sanctioned process to determine their eligibility for asylum, they have committed no crime. They are arrested anyway, and the lives they’ve risked to come to the United States are thrown into chaos."
Breaking News 1m ago A close adviser to Mayor Eric Adams was suspended from his campaign after trying to give a journalist cash inside a potato chip bag.
They say phones only make us miserable but I just got this news alert and laughed for a solid minute so who is to say
“We got a beating for breakfast. We got a beating for lunch. We got a beating for dinner.”
The horror stories are already emerging from the Venezuelan deportees' time in El Salvador's notorious CECOT prison. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
ICE detained a veteran and U.S. citizen for three days.
They didn’t let him contact his family or a lawyer. They didn’t let him change or shower. They didn’t give him a reason for his detention.
Under this regime, no one is safe. apnews.com/article/us-a...
When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.
Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

some dumb shit head writing bullshit
Women are lagging behind on going bankrupt on DraftKings, drinking themselves to death, and fist-fighting anyone who looks at them funny on the subway but they can catch up.
Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, but also a reminder: freedom delayed is freedom denied. #Juneteenth #BlackHistory #FreedomDay #NeverForget
Insurers’ denial rates are a critical measure of how reliably they pay for customers’ care. But they remain mostly secret to the public.
Federal and state regulators have done little to change that.

28-year-old Pedro Luis Salazar-Cuervo, who has no known criminal record, was accused by Texas police of being in a Venezuelan gang because they found a photo of him posing with another man with tattoos, his lawyers say.
From ProPublica partner @texastribune.org:
Hard to argue with that.
A hatchling condor on a white towel. it has downy feathers and it's head skin is kinda wrinkly
With everything LA has gone through in the last few months (and couple of years), let's celebrate the hatching of:
TEN CALIFORNIA CONDORS!!!!!!!!!
Congrats to the team at the Los Angeles Zoo!!!
I asked ICE where the “413% increase in assaults” justification for its officers using masks came from. They didn’t answer. So I dug into it, and what I found … did not boost their argument.

Today, we honor Juneteenth; a celebration of freedom, resilience, and the ongoing journey toward justice.
Let us remember the power of hope, the strength of community, and the importance of continuing the work for true equality.
Los Angeles faith leaders have led a group of peaceful protesters to the steps of the federal immigration courthouse to lay down flowers for those detained and arrested.
🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️
We're living at a moment when ICE is threatening not only to arrest and deport immigrants but arrest and prosecute everyday people and leaders for educating others about their constitutional rights.
Helping to defend our immigrant communities is one clear action that we can all take right now. ⤵️
When people said “abolish ICE,” this is why.
The politicians from both parties who called that “radical,” blindly funded them and called it “immigration reform,” because they were getting campaign donations from the corporations getting ICE contracts.
And now we’re here.
If you're a Democratic elected official who is insisting that law enforcement attacking civilians in L.A. is a "distraction" and we shouldn't take the bait, I'm going to briefly assume you're saying that in good faith and ask you this in response:
What is your plan for ICE kidnapping people?
Them: “LA is a full on insurrection”
Us at the protest:
Stormtrooper-ass looking cops standing in front of a giant donut.
Give the photographer the Pulitzer Prize
I think we’ve found the source of the violence
Tweet from the Department of Homeland Security: "Our law enforcement officers are just doing their jobs. Violence and intimidation against federal law enforcement will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The United States is a nation of laws, and lawbreakers will be brought to justice."
They're literally going with the "just doing their jobs" defense.
The MAGAs are out in full force today because their narrative is crumbling. Incredible work so proud of all of you. It’s impossible for this administration to control the narrative when everyone has a camera and access to social media.
There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process.
This is kidnapping and human trafficking.
not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns
los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates
