After ICE's acting director said agents would continue hiding their faces during operations, @mayor.lacity.gov says on @facethenation.bsky.social:
"These masked men pull up in unmarked cars ... so for the average citizen, it looks like it is a violent kidnapping."

We'll be out there on July 17th! Will we see you there???
We’re facing the most brazen rollback of our rights and fundamental freedoms in generations. It’ll take sustained, united, peaceful pushback to salvage our liberties from the fascist MAGA agenda. Join us on Thursday to “make good trouble” in response to Trump’s attacks on our civil and human rights.
Good Trouble Lives On
On July 17, five years since the passing of Congressman John Lewis, communities across the country will take to the streets, courthouses, and community spaces to carry forward his fight for justice, v...

The ICE camps are concentration camps. They should be called concentration camps.
It is, of course, important to distinguish between concentration camps and death camps, but also, I am not sure we will know when or if we undergo the transition from concentration camps into death camps.

Less than a year ago @nytimes.com was sent hacked data about Trump's vetting of JD Vance, which they refused to publish.
But Mamdami's hacked college application gets an exception because of interest from random online Nazis and Chris Rufo, the NYTimes' de facto executive editor.

Arguably if NYT wanted to get ahead they could have written that story, about Nazis trying to start a race controversy with hacked data. But as it turns out, they wanted to be the Nazis.

As someone who lived in New Orleans during the thing you call Katrina, I’m here to say that the time to politicize governmental failure in a tragedy is when anyone is still paying attention.

Together, we have mobilized the largest protests in American history.
Nearly 70% of people opposed the Trump regime’s horrible bill.
Organizers have banded together to protect their communities from ICE.
Remember—they want us to feel isolated. We are not.
We are the many, and we hold the power.

Do not lose hope.
You are not alone.
Most of America rejects this.
The people do not want an authoritarian regime—we do not want oligarchy, we do not want Christian nationalism, we do not want techno-fascism.
And we’re more powerful than they’ll ever be. The people united will never be defeated.

The GOP passed a budget that will eviscerate health care in rural areas. They delayed much of the impact for after the midterms, hoping the public will think any discussion of the impending collapse is hyperbolic.
Local reporters have a chance to do service journalism that'll make a splash too.

Once again, this is a massive public jobs program for fascists.
This bill was never just about tax cuts and gutting social services. It's about investing our collective resources in violence and using state power to spread fear and destroy solidarity. We need to resist this with all we've got.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

Last night a bunch of Republicans in the House were saying how awful this bill was.
Only took a couple hours, some merch, and a few words from Donald Trump, and they’re lining up to rip away health care from 17 MILLION people.
I’m sadly not surprised — but I am still outraged.
