The recent ICE raid which emptied an entire apartment building was apparently at the request of Wells Fargo, which is trying to foreclose on the building.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

The very first statute authorizing domestic use of the military during domestic emergencies, enacted in 1792 by a Congress full of the same folks who wrote and ratified the Constitution, expressly provided for judicial review in certain circumstances *before* the President could even send troops.

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.

I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

I reiterate: every single person, regardless of the year they were born, has to make a conscious effort not to shit on the following generations the moment they realize they themselves are approaching middle age or older. It’s not just boomers and X that are susceptible.

Intimate account of journalist @plasticjesusart.bsky.social being shot by LA Sheriff's Dept.

His leg had "a lump of muscle" hanging out.

Surgeons tried to remove his clothes, but encountered so much pepper spray on him that medical staff had to evacuate room.

"Less lethal" munitions? Barely.

Jeffries should have taken those Trump 2028 hats off Trump’s desk and told him and Vance to get serious. This is behavior that should be challenged and not normalized, especially when the topic of discussion is a government shutdown.

Ronald Reagan–appointed U.S. District Judge William Young:

“ICE goes masked for a single reason — to terrorize Americans into quiescence… To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed, masked secret police.”

This is simultaneously not an especially radical theological belief and, politically speaking (especially in the U.S. context), quite a thing for Pope Leo to say. www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/266859/...

"Someone who says I'm against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life," the pope explained.
"Someone who says I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro life."
