BREAKING: A beer was thrown at President Trump during a press conference this afternoon in Washington. Trump was unharmed. Since the beer was a draft,... he was able to dodge it.
She was a US citizen. ICE told her, “No one is going to help you. You're all criminals.”
Thrown to the pavement, arrested, bruised and hospitalized. She was just driving to work - in case you thought your choices could keep you safe.
U.S. citizen Dayanne Figueroa was simply doing what you probably do every weekday: driving to work. She’s a 31-year-old paralegal who was born and raised in the United States. When her lane cleared, she honked and moved forward. That’s when an unmarked SUV swerved into her car and ICE agents surrounded her, guns drawn.
They threw her to the pavement and handcuffed her. She was placed in a van between two terrified men. And when she begged the masked agents to identify themselves, telling them that she was a U.S. citizen, they simply said:
“No one is going to help you. You’re all criminals.”
She was held for four hours. Vulnerable after recently undergoing kidney surgery, she was hospitalized for the bruising and urinary tract infection after her detention. That was just the beginning of her misery.
DHS decided to smear her publicly. Spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin called her an “agitator” “arrested for assault on a federal agent” - even though she wasn’t attempting to interact with federal agents at all. She was just trying to get to work.
How many U.S. citizens and legal residents like Dayanne have been swept up, detained, assaulted and traumatized in this crackdown? We may never know, but we know enough to understand that this is wrong - and that Secretary Noem’s claim that no U.S. citizens were detained is an outright lie.
Dayanne says, “I love my country very much. And I also love my culture and my community. And I have to protect both.”
She shouldn’t have to choose. She shouldn’t have been brutalized. And she sure as hell shouldn’t have been slandered by her own government for telling the truth about it.

Rob Reiner spent decades defending democracy and fighting for equality - even when it wasn’t easy or popular. At a moment when silence is safer, his willingness to speak out is a reminder that protecting democracy requires courage.
RETWEET to honor Reiner's legacy of justice ♥️
I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.
Funniest moment yet: this man-child lifting a fake Peace Prize medal over his own head with the triumphant swagger of a kindergartner who just scored a 50-ticket plastic prize at Chuck E. Cheese.
@LongTimeHistory@1zzyzyx1 Trump ALSO claims he would date his own daughter if he could.
Donald Trump is deeply, deeply disturbed in his brain.
It needs to be studied.
There’s no filter, no couth, no common sense.
NO man like that s/b president.

BREAKING: Newly released emails show Jeffrey Epstein thought Trump was one of the worst people he knew, with “not one decent cell in his body.”
He went on to describe Trump with one word:
“Dangerous.”
As Orban goes...others will follow. The secret of authoritarians is that they are weak and getting weaker. They work together because they are individually more vulnerable.
