Every single day ICE agents are threatening people and terrorizing communities.

We’ve seen ICE pepper spray babies, disappear US citizens, slam distraught mothers and fathers to the ground—now they’re terrorizing St. Paul.

ICE is out of control and should be abolished.
Federal agents from ICE, DEA and the FBI raided a St. Paul paper distributor Tuesday morning. Hundreds of community members responded in protest, clashing with officers. At least two people were detained by authorities, according to a witness.

The crime is not what we were doing protesting in the 10th floor elevator lobby of 26 Federal Plaza.

The crime is what ICE agents are doing on the other side of the door.

I think it should be a bigger deal that before Trump made him a life-tenured appeals court judge, Emil Bove was at DOJ taking the position that the White House should do war crimes
Report: Trump’s Most Corrupt, Least Qualified Judge Was Also an Enthusiastic Proponent of Extrajudicial Killings
Yet another reason for Senate Democrats to impeach Emil Bove the moment they take back the upper chamber.

GOP Rep. Salazar won't criticize Trump calling a woman reporter "piggy" -- "President Trump is a very different type of politician. But I always say I look at his policies and not his personality. Nobody is perfect."

NEW: Court blocks Texas's mid-decade redistricting, finding it likely unconstitutional, with DOJ largely to blame.

"DOJ Asked Texas to Engage in Unlawful Racial Gerrymandering," Judge Jeffrey Brown, a Trump appointee, wrote for the 2-1 majority. Texas is appealing to the Supreme Court.

I’m pretty sure I saw Daughtry live after a Rays game while I was unknowingly coming down with swine flu. (I didn’t know it was swine flu at the time. Just was heavily fatigued)

I no longer regret it
Chris Daughtry has spoken out against the MAGA movement in light of an AI video that showed him paying tribute to Charlie Kirk.

"I certainly don’t stand with MAGA, Charlie Kirk, Turning Point or any other movement rooted in bigotry or intolerance or exclusivity."

Zohran won for a lot of reasons but I think a really huge one is he actually likes NYC. Conservatives and liberals both act like I live in a war zone instead of the coolest place on the planet. But Zohran told the truth: that living in a city, but especially this city, just fuckin rocks.

Oh man.

To make this all about me as I’m apt to do..

There’s a weird metaphor that the coach of my favorite team is a Spurs fan and the new mayor of my new home is an arsenal fan. Just a derby for my heart
Coach Dom is a lifelong Spurs fan and Pochettino is one of his idols. So pretty cool moment for him.

I was 14 when I lost my aunt to an opioid overdose. When we cleaned out her bedroom at my grandmothers, she had so many pill bottles with varying amounts, they covered my grandmothers dining table that sat 8 people.

Fuck Purdue Pharma.
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) — Judge formally approves Purdue Pharma opioid settlement, with Sacklers paying up to $7B and some funds going to victims.

An audibly hoarse President Trump told reporters at the White House on Monday that he was "feeling great," but that he strained his voice while yelling at people over trade. He refused to say which country inspired his ire.

And it’s certainly not going to one of the worst Trump enablers in the house.
Apropos of nothing, New York has not elected a Republican governor since George Pataki in 2002; it hasn’t elected a Republican senator since Al D’Amato in 1992; and it has not gone for a Republican presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan in 1984.

Man. I love Jamie Raskin, but this ain’t it.

In the interview with MTG apologizing for the bad politics she also says that Trump and MAGA aren’t anti immigration enough.

Social media is cooking brains. Please watch or read entire things and not just a clip
Raskin: We are a big tent. We must be a huge, vast tent. I say this is a party that’s got room for Marjorie Taylor Greene if she wants to come over.

To reiterate. Gavin Newsom is corporate Dem wet dream wrapped in a blowhard shell.

While voters do want someone to fight back against Republicans, we also need someone with a policy platform that helps us out.
