There have been multiple reports of pets being left trapped and at risk of dying after ICE abducted their owners. A woman in Texas used https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY to help rescue her neighbor’s dog when she and other neighbors could not access his apartment after he was taken.
PAXIS: If ICE takes someone and leaves their pets locked inside, do not wait for the ICE detainee locator. It may take hours or days for someone to appear, and an animal without water, medication or ventilation may not have that long.
If a trusted person has a key and prior permission to enter, get the pets to safety immediately. Photograph their condition and take their food, medication, veterinary information and proof of ownership, if available.
If nobody can legally enter, call local animal control. Explain that the owner was detained and animals are trapped inside. Request an urgent welfare check and lawful emergency access. Call 911 if a pet faces imminent danger.
If the pets enter a shelter, request a temporary protective hold, not surrender or adoption. Provide the owner’s information, any available proof of detention and a family contact. Then arrange temporary care through relatives, friends or a trusted rescue.

Jake is now safe.
"When the Roman Empire was collapsing, they instituted a system called bread and circus. Whenever shit gets really bad, you hand out free bread and you have a free circus to distract people from what's really going on. The UFC fight was the circus. They haven't handed out the bread yet"
America asked Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal to risk his life beside our Special Forces.
He did.
We promised allies like him safety.
Trump and ICE gave him detention.
One day later, he was dead.
His wife says ICE would not even let him have his asthma inhaler.
That is not strength. That is betrayal.
It tells every ally who ever believed America’s word that our promises expire the moment Trump needs another target.
https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY cannot stop ICE’s cruelty. But it can help people prepare before the knock, the stop, the search, or the arrest.
Know your rights. Make a plan. Share it with anyone at risk. Keep it FREE: https://t.co/ZhHJH8FyNd
I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”
Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.
Jennifer Welch: “Boycott every fucking thing on CBS News. From the morning all the way through to the evening. These are the same people that fired Stephen Colbert because Trump got his feelings hurt by a comedian. These people are the biggest bunch of pussies that masquerade with these grandstanding letters like they’re such badasses. These people don’t care about the truth, they don’t care about journalism, they don’t care about the Constitution, they don’t care about a free press. It’s just absolutely devastating what these oligarchs have done to our country”
"I'm just contemplating the fact that one moron, one psychotic moron, one capricious idiot, has completely bollocksed up the global economy not only to the detriment of his own people, but the detriment of the planet. ... It's like how much more of this can the planet take?"
Who is Trump’s new DHS Secretary nominee? This ill tempered jarhead… Markwayne Mullin who tried to physically fight someone in the middle of a Senate hearing. (Fast forward to 1:05 mark)
Such a dumb timeline.
I’ve spent a significant amount of time in the Big Bend region.
The most striking thing about the border wall debate is the bi-partisan uproar against it.
Locals are befuddled by the lack of warning and law enforcement are adamant that it’s an unnecessary expense.
As Terrell County Sheriff @SheriffThad put it, the terrain itself is a God-given barrier.
Spend any time there at all and you’ll understand why. It’s an unforgiving, desolate, yet remarkably beautiful region.
The numbers don’t pencil out for a need and the wall is a solution in search of a problem.
Let’s not destroy one of the most beautiful parks unnecessarily. Let’s not destroy a local tourism economy. Let’s treat Big Bend like the sacred land it is.

I’m sharing this beautiful and powerful song from @springsteen, that he wrote in dedication to the people of Minneapolis and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Take a listen.
The art of resistance, the voice of artists, well known and every day people all over the world singing, writing, speaking up and out is so inspiring. We the people are alive, empowered, and making a difference with our voices.
My friends: use your voice in whatever way makes sense to you! Poetry, singing, writing, speaking, loving, cooking, painting. Show up in the way that you can. We are all creative beings with a voice. We the united people, of these United States, are rising above. We are showing that we care about our neighbors, our fellow human beings. Have no doubt the people are rising. It’s a beautful thing.
STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.
VANCE: No, George, I sai--
STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back
George Stephanopoulos is one of the few hard-nosed journalists left in the business, not taking bullshit from sociopathic liar JD Vance about Tom Homan's $50K bribe.
This is how it's done, media. https://t.co/OrwEjLBMBU
