A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR.

When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.

Supercut of comments from Republicans today alone about the No Kings rallies taking place this weekend. This has to be some of the worst, and most anti-American, coordinated messaging of all time.

The important thing is that we can rebuild something fully new and better, which is why facing the severity of this moment can be a source of hope rather than paralysis.

This entire argument by Louisiana and the conservatives questions are premised on an erasure of Congress’ enforcement power under the 14th & 15th Amendments.

Literally swinging for the fences to wipe out the premise for the legitimacy of Congress’ power to enact civil rights statutes.

Trump is saying the quiet part out loud: he sent a $20B taxpayer-financed bailout to help his far-right buddy Milei cling to power.

Meanwhile our government is shut down, public servants aren't getting paid & we're barreling toward a Trump-made health care crisis. Sounds like Argentina First to me.

Due process. Academic freedom. An independent judiciary. A free press. A professional civil service. A protected environment. These aren't partisan talking points; they are the pillars of a healthy nation. And every single one of them is under direct assault by the Trump administration.

Remember the Trump administration's unsuccessful Labor Day effort to expel children to Guatemala?

The lawyers filed an amended complaint today, expanding the scope of the litigation — reflecting the long-term goals of the administration to do the same thing with kids from many countries.
INTRODUCTION 1. This is a complaint on behalf of hundreds of children at risk of unlawful removal from the United States. 2. Plaintiffs are unaccompanied minors in Office of Refugee Resettlement (“ORR”) custody whom Defendants have sought or are seeking to remove from the United States in clear violation of the unambiguous protections that Congress has provided them as vulnerable children. Defendants have unlawfully claimed the power to expel these children, in violation of the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 (“TVPRA”), the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”), and the Constitution. Plaintiffs seek to represent a class of unaccompanied children who are or will be placed in ORR custody and who do not have a final order of removal or grant of voluntary departure by an immigration judge
