After Marcelo Gomes da Silva was arrested by ICE on his way to volleyball practice in Milford, he made a promise to the men he shared a cell with: He’d be a voice for immigrants unfairly detained.

He's one of Boston Globe Magazine’s Bostonians of the Year.

We are not just going to sit around and put up with this. We are going to omit his entire second presidency and undo it all. As soon as we're able to get all this corruption out of the government and start over. It's bullshit. We have so much technology, so many resources. We can do better.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.

If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

Senator Ruben Gallego has introduced Senate legislation to outlaw surveillance pricing.

Surveillance pricing is yet another way for corporations to pull one over on you.

As people made their way into a naturalization ceremony, ICE officials stopped 38 of the 100 applicants and told them they wouldn't be leaving with U.S. citizenship. The immigrants — who passed every step in the naturalization process — needed only to take the oath of allegiance to become citizens.
Dozens denied oath of allegiance at Indianapolis naturalization ceremony
Dozens of people arrived at Indianapolis Union Station thinking they'd become U.S. citizens only to learn their participation was "canceled."

Calling the press “fake news” is harmful. Calling them “seditious, perhaps even treasonous” for publishing reporting is something else entirely. Treason is a capital crime. Suggesting journalists should face it for exercising their First Amendment rights and doing their jobs is dangerous.

Oligarchy (noun):

A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

🧵Just remember—Reagan appointed a crooked dirtbag named William S. Sessions to run the FBI.

By the time Clinton got into office, allegations of misconduct were piling up, so Sessions was fired.

He then became the personal attorney of the boss-of-all-bosses of the Russian mob, Semion Mogelevich.

ICYMI: I loved this conversation with Pastor David Black. He reinforced my belief that we will survive this dark moment if we act together to fight back.

Watch this episode and prepare to be inspired.
Pastor David Black was brutally shot by ICE w/pepper balls hitting him in the head & body. But he still returns w/other faith leaders to protest & to even pray for federal agents.

He talks about witnessing a “revival of faith” & how “democracy is not a spectator sport.”

When you realize the goal has been to re-establish a society with *absolute* white male supremacy at the expense of EVERYTHING and EVERYONE ELSE (economy, education, healthcare, voting, prices, etc.) - and put billionaires in charge - you understand the goal of #Project2025 and why we're here now.

Suozzi: Prices are up. Why? Because of the tariffs. Prices are going up in health insurance because of the cancellation of the premium tax credits. Prices are going up in energy because there’s new demand for energy at the same time they cut supply.

Anyway. This has fucked me up like nothing I can remember since reading the testimony of war crimes victims as a part of a human rights case 25 years ago.

Human beings are human beings.

And monsters are among us, taking lives for sport and amusement, and broadcasting their murders for pleasure.

The three Democratic appointees, in an opinion by Justice Kagan, dissent.

I'll post the ruling shortly.
