Concerts and apathy

A 1-year-old baby appeared in immigration court without legal representation this week in Arizona and received an instruction: File an asylum application before the next hearing or face deportation.

Read that again…

Talarico: Well, Ken Paxton is anti-puppy, and I wish I was joking when I said that. But reports just came out revealing that, as attorney general, Ken Paxton protected a research lab that was notorious for torturing and killing hundreds of puppies. 

Ken Paxton never misses an opportunity to do the wrong thing. And he won’t fight for the little guy, even when the little guy is literally a puppy.

ICE has abducted another five-year-old. His name is Liam. This week he missed his first week of Kindergarden because he is detained at the infamous Dilley Detention Center in Texas. Reporting by the great @LidiaTerrazas.

ICE hit him with a car. Months later they false arrested him and shot him. His arm is now purple and will likely need to be amputated. They're "treating" it with Vitamin D and BenGay

Drug companies Moderna and Merck have just announced a vaccine that could stop cancer from spreading, funded with an mRNA NIH research grant.

HHS Secretary RFK Jr. chose to end 22 similar mRNA research projects worth $500M in 2025.

In promo clips, you can see people losing control of their limbs, falling to the ground, and crying out in pain after a light touch from the GLOVE.

In 2022, the company called it a “weapon." Since then, though, it’s downgraded the language to “a Conductive Distraction and De-escalation device." https://t.co/ygtezZprHk

Emails revealed in court:

As Trump publicly condemned Colorado for incarcerating convicted felon and election denier Tina Peters, the White House organized an urgent "brainstorm call" with five federal agencies — with the goal of exploring ways to curtail federal support to Colorado.

The next day, federal agencies announced they were canceling hundreds of millions of dollars in federal grants for Colorado projects.

Never forget that RFK Jr. testified in his divorce proceedings that he couldn’t afford alimony because he was so brain damaged he couldn’t hold a job.

Anyway, now he’s the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

For weeks, U.S. immigration officials alerted their colleagues about dangerous overcrowding at 26 Federal Plaza, where detainees were held in small rooms with no beds, showers or full-time medical staff.

In the first four days of June 2025, the number of detainees in Hold Room 1, one of four holding rooms on the building's 10th floor, jumped from approximately eight to more than 80. The room is a square cell roughly 30 feet on each side, with hard floors, concrete benches and three metal toilets.

The spaces reeked of unwashed bodies. People slept sitting up because there wasn’t enough space to lie down. And because of a shortage of medical staff, people with serious health conditions, including tuberculosis, an ovarian cyst and kidney failure, lacked proper care, texts and emails among ICE officials show.

DHS declined to answer a detailed list of questions about its treatment of detainees at 26 Federal Plaza and temporary holding rooms around the country, citing the ongoing litigation.

There are no laws governing the amount of space immigrant detainees must be provided within ICE field offices.

Trump's Acting AG Todd Blanche plans to outlaw abortion nationwide:

We're working to get solutions so that the Dobbs decision becomes permanent in every single state. We're putting policies in place so that states can't do things like mail abortion drugs. We will have victory, and it will be permanent.

U.S. prosecutors say that RT employees secretly funneled nearly $10 million into a Tennessee media company. Several American influencers said they did not know the money came from Russia, yet their content aligned with Kremlin efforts to deepen U.S. divisions and weaken support for Ukraine.

The Trump Administration has some serious explaining to do because there’s a ton of money missing and ZERO explanation for where it went.   

It has collected an estimated $13 billion from Venezuelan oil sales.  

Take a wild guess on how much of that is currently accounted for.   

The answer is $300 million. That’s roughly 2.3 PERCENT.  

And even that information came from the Venezuelan government, not the Trump Administration.  

So where is the rest of the money?

ICE kidnaps 18 year old kid—wearing all black clothes & no badge or ID.

"Please help me!" he cries in Spanish.
"I am begging you! Is anyone there!"

"Help me! Mom please help!"
"Mom I really need you right now!"

"He's hurting me! Why are you taking me!"
"I didn’t do anything!"

Eventually it takes 4 agents to throw him into an unmarked car—and speed away to unknown location.

This is the second case in a week of a son being taken away in front of his mother—on the exact same block.

ICE must be targeting this neighborhood in Glendale, California.

Ricardo Miranda doesn't have an active account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.

A Polish-born woman in Des Plaines who “had done everything right” has been in ICE custody for the past year. Green Card for 20 years, sought citizenship. “And it didn’t matter.”
