A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.

This is beyond cruel.

Trump is windmilling around to instill fear and assert dominance. Capable, dedicated public servants like AG James protect us from lawless people like Trump. We need to stand with her.

FACTS on AG Letitia James:
📌 Trump’s attacking her for NO reason.
📌 Career prosecutor said no evidence for charges against AG James
📌 That prosecutor was FIRED
📌 Replaced w/ loyalist, zero prosecutorial experience

This is corruption. Plain and simple.

The same ICE agent who handcuffed Ald. Jessie Fuentes has been filmed in at least 3 other violent encounters, including the viral arrest of a woman in Waukegan in front of the mayor.

“He’s obviously a danger to individuals and particularly women," Fuentes said.

About a week ago, the New York Times’ “The Daily” podcast portrayed Russell Vought as a devout Christian, a true “small government” conservative who loves the free market, and a man with a great work ethic. A remarkable combination of credulousness and deliberate whitewashing.

✅
@codepink.bsky.social parrots CCP talking points. Its founder’s husband’s extensive ties to PRC entities w/ connections to 🇨🇳government & Party make the positions they advocate for suspicious. Are their claims motivated by genuine concern or by a desire to propagate narratives that help 🇨🇳/weaken 🇺🇸?

This is the man the BBC elevated & is refusing to investigate despite @carolecadwalla.bsky.social l & @bylinetimes.bsky.social

Do we have a precedent for a this ? A national broadcaster ignoring possible treason , isn’t that in itself sort of treasonous 🥴 ?

Seems @Nigel_Farage is trying damage limitation on the Reform Russian Bribes scandal.

He’s known Nathan Gill for 20 years, and claims he knew nothing.

No one believes you, Nigel.

Keep the story moving. Questions must be answered.

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry.

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

Federal immigration operations target San Diego neighborhoods, sparking community resistance

Federal immigration agents conducted operations in Logan Heights and Southeast San Diego on Friday, with community members capturing footage of the enforcement actions.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

You’re wrong, Jay. Flat out wrong.

Centuries. Police have been terrorizing Black communities for centuries, not decades.

But otherwise, you’re sadly on point.
