Trump could not be more explicit about his intention to rig elections this year and in 2028

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

Don Lemon speaks outside of the courtroom after release: "I have spent my entire life covering the news. I will not stop now ... I will not be silenced."

[Ben Crump @AttorneyCrump]

Independent journalist Georgia Fort was, like Don Lemon, arrested for doing her job: documenting a protest of public concern. When members of the press are taken into custody simply for filming and reporting, it sends a chilling message to every journalist in America. The First Amendment does NOT belong to the powerful; it exists to protect truth, accountability, and the public’s right to know. We must speak out when press freedom is under attack!

Oh, be careful, Merriam-Webster, lest we suffer vertigo from the dizzying heights of our lexical ground.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨NOW: A video is going viral showing an ICE agent ripping a phone away from an elderly U.S. citizen, keeping it, and throwing her to the ground when she attempts to retrieve it.

No mercy. Identify and prosecute each one of these guys to the FULLEST extent of state law.

Everyone in this photo was pardoned by trump except the unconscious cop who Republicans blame for the attack.

Forrest Gump ran toward danger in Vietnam. Your boss ran to his podiatrist crying bone spurs.

Petty insults at the expense of people with disabilities won't change the fact that you're risking troops' lives to boost Chevron's stock price.

It's my job to hold you accountable.

[Jorge Washington @theredhombre]

You cannot argue with MAGA. They demand evidence, then call your sources biased. You provide primary sources, they claim they're doctored. You show them video, they say it's out of context. You give them context, they say you're cherry-picking. This isn't debate. This is a systematic refusal to allow reality to intrude on mythology. You're not arguing facts. You're arguing whether facts exist.

🚨ICE agents are threatening to assault and illegally arrest U.S. citizens in Portland, Maine.

In the video, a man is legally observing ICE activity in his own neighborhood.

Agents walk up to his car window and ask, “Are you following us?”

The man replies, “Yeah.”

An agent immediately escalates and says, “What you are doing is called impeding federal law enforcement. It’s an 18 U.S.C. §111 charge. This is your first and only warning. If you continue to impede and follow us, you will be arrested.”

The man then correctly responds, “Yeah, but I’m not impeding you.”

Another agent jumps in and says,“You just openly admitted you were following us, so…”

And again, the man correctly explains, “I am following you. I’m not impeding you. I’m observing you.”

Which is a constitutionally protected right.

The agent responds anyway, “It is impeding.”

The man replies, “No, it’s actually not.”

At that point, the agents become visibly angry that he knows the law and threaten him again, saying, “This is your one warning. If you keep doing it, we will pull you back out and arrest you.”

Just to be very clear…

Following and observing law enforcement, without interference, is not a crime.
Threatening arrest anyway is an abuse of power.
Threatening to “pull him out” of his vehicle is a threat of unlawful force.

These agents are not enforcing the law, they’re misstating it, weaponizing it, and hoping intimidation will do the rest.

They don’t understand the laws they claim to enforce. They just parrot a few buzzwords and statute numbers, and expect the public to fold.

And when that doesn’t work, they threaten violence.

Because the biggest threat to an ICE agent is someone who knows their rights.

CNN’s new reporting suggests Pretti was attacked by federal agents, entered into a database, and then *possibly* targeted by his eventual killers.

Mayor Mamdani is personally checking on the outer boroughs during the storm. Here he is stopping in Bed-Stuy to help NYCHA residents whose car got stuck.
