It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

there it is. you had to suspect one of the reasons the Trump admin didn't want to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home was they didn't want him telling people what they put him through and what it's like at CECOT

reposting with alt text and linking to the filing
storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

screenshot of the 120th and 121st paragraphs in

120. Upon arrival at CECOT, the detainees were greeted by a prison official who stated, “Welcome to CECOT. Whoever enters here doesn’t leave.” Plaintiff Abrego Garcia was then forced to strip, issued prison clothing, and subjected to physical abuse including being kicked in the legs with boots and struck on his head and arms to make him change clothes faster. His head was shaved with a zero razor, and he was frog-marched to cell 15, being struck with wooden batons along the way. By the following day, Plaintiff Abrego Garcia had visible bruises and lumps all over his body.

121. In Cell 15, Plaintiff Abrego Garcia and 20 other Salvadorans were forced to kneel from approximately 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM, with guards striking anyone who fell from exhaustion. During this time, Plaintiff Abrego Garcia was denied bathroom access and soiled himself. The
detainees were confined to metal bunks with no mattresses in an overcrowded cell with no windows, bright lights that remained on 24 hours a day, and minimal access to sanitation.

Every Dem must stay focused on this Wall Street Journal snippet as 2026 approaches:

“GOP legislative reforms will have no chance if Democrats take the House in 2026. If they also take the Senate, forget about confirming another Supreme Court nominee. The Trump Presidency will be dead in the water.”

"July 1st."

I've had complicated feelings about this comic this year. We've seen so much quiet quitting of rainbow capitalism--a canary in the coal mine. I started wondering if I was naive to not think of when I drew this as "the good times."

A pride comic about the midnight turn of rainbow capitalism on July 1st and then various queer friends and family happy and loving each other featuring the text, "Brands turn back into pumpkins, colors go on clearance, but you're still here. I'm glad you're still here.

I know I'm not the first person or even the millionth person to point this out; it's not even the first time *I* have said it, but this is what actual First Amendment violations look like and the fact that none of the supposed free speech warriors are saying anything about it tells us everything.

So to recap: Trump violated the War Powers Resolution, failed in his mission, lied and said he succeeded, made up a cease-fire between two countries in his head, then got mad and cursed when he found out it didn't exist.

Current NYT headline indicating that the vaunted bunker-buster bombs did not, in fact, bust the bunkers.

Let's review:

1. Iran was not building a nuclear weapon

2. US intel said that if the US bombed Iran, it might push Iran to build a nuke

4. Trump bombed Iran anyway

5. Trump claimed the bombs "obliterated" Iran's nuclear facilities

6. Iran's program was set back only a few months, US intel says

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.
