I’m not sure we’ve properly addressed how profoundly disturbing it is that America can largely shrug at the stashing of human beings in giant warehouses.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.

What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?

I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

It’s time to tap into your internal lesbian anger! Even if you’re straight. Now is the time to fight for your 1st Amendment rights! Let’s go!

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

Congressman Shri Thanedar

@RepShriThanedar
A baby was hospitalized after being tear gassed by ICE.

The family was not illegal, and not even protesting—just driving home from their son's basketball game.

This can't be reformed. Time to abolish ICE.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

My choice for the 30-day books-by-women challenge:

It is not fiction, but worth a read with everything that is happening right now.

McLAUGHLIN: Racial animus has no place in DHS and of course is not use

CNN: *plays clip of ICE agents asking Minneapolis woman where she was born*


McLAUGHLIN: I haven't seen this clip before. She might've been assaulting law enforcement prior to this.

86% of Americans polled don't want to invade Greenland which is almost as many people who demand to see the Epstein files

I’ve watched a 4tb M.2 drive I was waiting to buy go from $260 to $420 to $570 in under 3 months

Price increase is because AI data centers eating up all the hardware

Why does everything keep getting worse like it’s some compulsive need for humans, to enshitify everything?

DOJ is out of control. The crime of impeding federal agents requires physical force. Speaking out against the way ICE is being deployed is not a crime.

Reform UK announced a Scottish Leader who’s never been elected by anyone for anything and a new MP who won’t call a by-election.

That’s Reform UK democracy.

Gov. Walz to MS NOW:

"Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system … is a dangerous, authoritarian tactic.

"The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her."

Quick question, is anyone else worried that we’re living under a Nazi government?
