This is targeted, tyrannical, and unacceptable and it's appalling for Congress to keep abdicating its responsibility and handing over power to a bunch of corrupt, bigoted autocratic thugs.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

A lot of the videos I am seeing of people directly confronting ICE in the streets are mostly of women. Are others noticing this too?

"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.

This is actually smart. Hire QUALIFIED people who are being fired and chased out of the Federal government.

I jumped a month or so after Elon took over when he announced he was unblocking accounts that had been shunted for harassment.

I had 150,000 followers when I jumped, but the return of the person who doxxed my home is not someone I will ever voluntarily share space with again.

Also Nazis.
Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.

They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

Incredible work here.
Today, in the Sunday print NYT, we published an investigative look at Harold Hamm, the 13th child of Oklahoma sharecroppers who started an oil company named Continental, which turned him into a billionaire, powerbroker and friend of Donald J. Trump. You may never have heard of Hamm. But you should

I preceded him in the speakers lineup and he was just way more generous to me than he needed to be in terms of his praise. It was the kind of thing you remember from someone of his stature.

I met Rob Reiner last year on a Democrats Abroad call and in addition to being an all-around hero, he is just so nice.

So there is already an ai-generated whitewashing campaign to bury the name of the Muslim man, Ahmed al Ahmed, who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach shooters, and replace his identity with a white guy name and that’s why even a thimble of our potable water powering this tech is too fucking much.

Rand Paul: "The president also said, 'Be careful Colombia, you could be next.' I mean, if we're gonna go and topple regime after regime in South America, there's no amount of money that could be printed to pay for that and I don't think lives should be lost without a vote by Congress."

A reminder that most Americans who are life-long citizens have nothing OTHER than a Real ID to prove their citizenship. This is CBP’s chief enforcer saying that ID doesn’t count.
Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

ICYMI, new piece/thread from me on the remarkable new turn in the Abrego Garcia case. Everyone should read the judge's latest ruling. It goes deep. It neatly captures the essential lawlessness and state terror of the Trump era:
Remarkable how brutal the ruling against Trump on Abrego Garcia truly is: It details flagrant and malicious abuses of power all throughout. Trump and Stephen Miller were testing their ability to spread lawless state terror. But the court held the line. 1/
