Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents.
Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center.
Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.
Last night’s lavish White House dinner showed us the global oligarchy coming together in plain sight.
By cozying up to MBS, Trump has signaled to the world that the United States is now on the side of authoritarianism, not democracy.
The alleged shooter in Michigan. Weird that Vance and Patel haven’t tweeted out this info. 🤷🏽♂️👇🏽

donald trump and the white nationalists that run his government want you to think that slavery was just fine www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
Chlamydia in koalas can cause blindness, infertility and even death.
The argument against regulation is always the same: “It stifles growth and jobs.”
But just as tax cuts for corporations have not trickled down, regulatory cuts have not benefited most people.
Big companies enjoy bigger profits. Working people bear the costs.
Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.
I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.
Epstein's sweetheart deal? Cut by a Republican administration.
The guy who cut it? Trump put him in his first Cabinet.
Epstein's mysterious death? During Trump's first term.
Trump promised to release the files. Now he's not.
This is a Republican scandal. What is Trump hiding?
Norfolk Southern & Union Pacific announced a merger yesterday.
If approved, the combined railway giant would control 40% of rail freight in the US.
In 75% of US industries, fewer companies control more of the business than 20 years ago.
The monopolization of America continues.
72% of people swept up in Trump’s immigration raids have no criminal record.
That includes at least 250 people detained in deplorable conditions in his “Alligator Alcatraz” in Florida.
This was never about targeting criminals. It was always about terrorizing immigrants.
The Supreme Court is out of control. To allow the president, without any explanation, to unilaterally dismantle agencies created by an Act of Congress is to endow the president with sovereignty. There is no justification, because they haven’t given one. Our country is in big trouble.
There are ways to mitigate and adapt to extreme events, like stopping the burning of fossil fuels and building early warning systems (or not firing people who make forecasts and coordinate with local officials), but prayer is not one of them.
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.
Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"
Social Security - "That's socialism!"
Debt free education - "That's socialism!"
Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"
$1 trillion+ in tax cuts for the wealthy...
"That's just how it is."
The 35 richest Republican members of Congress have a net worth of $2.5 billion.
They stand to gain from the GOP budget's tax cuts that disproportionately help the rich.
Meanwhile, they're cutting Medicaid and food assistance for millions of their constituents.
As US government authorities can no longer be relied upon to provide reliable medical information, the American Medical Association and 78 other medical societies have written an open letter to the American public underscoring the importance of vaccines.

Jeff Bezos is worth $230 billion and is reportedly spending $20 million on a three-day wedding in Venice while sailing around on his $500 million yacht. If he can afford to do that, he can afford a wealth tax and to pay Amazon workers a living wage. Hello?
"National Science Foundation Surprise: Employees Being Relocated to Accommodate Secretary of HUD’s Palatial New Office"
Here's the official union statement on the HUD takeover.
Small correction that's not included in the screenshot: "Correction: currently 1,833 NSF employees work in the NSF headquarters building."
The Democratic establishment has been put on notice tonight.
Attacking Iran fits with Trump’s desire to divert attention from his failures at home: his losses in the courts, his unpopular budget bill, millions of people protesting against his authoritarianism.
When he feels humiliated, he gets reckless.
Understand what's going on.
ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds.
He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings.
He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights.
This is political intimidation.
All of this is being manufactured by Trump. The show of force is the point.
It distracts from his recent failures and inability to govern.
Like any bully, Trump wants to display his power — especially over those whom he doesn't consider "his" people.
Bully the bullies.
Instead of using this money to fund, say, the National Weather Service right before hurricane season, they're using it to send Marines to Los Angeles.
THIS is waste and abuse.
We feed you.
They hunt us.
I’m confident we can bully him back by playing the chorus of The 7th Element by Vitas whenever he speakkks
A recent study found that for every $1 invested in the National Weather Service, it produces $73 in value to Americans.
Not only is the NWS a life-saving government resource, it's actually quite efficient.
Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow:
George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.
