I wonder if all the Portland protesters could sing Baby Shark on repeat … that might just be enough to drive the ICE agents away.

I love that a shark has joined the resistance!

Next they’re going to tell us autism is caused by the demand to release the Epstein files.

Seeing pictures of an abandoned tamale cart in Pilsen where ICE took a tamale street vendor. Those photos of left behind carts are so haunting. Community members disappeared. Not just vendors but people who have long standing relationships with the community and people.

Took a break from the Supreme Court's ongoing horrorshow to focus on what really matters: how funny it is for a federal judge to decide, as a matter of law, that Drake lost the Kendrick Lamar beef

Federal Judge Declares Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Too Awesome to Be Defamatory

Apparently, Drake decided that losing in the court of public opinion was not humiliating enough.

One thing we've learned from the American judicial system: The first 34 felonies are on the house*.

This isn’t left vs. right. This is big vs. little. Only 2% of our elected officials from both the House and Senate come from the working class. That’s the problem.

This is Twilight Sparkle. She was born with a bump on her head made of soft tissue instead of bone. It's led to a buildup of fluid in her brain and seizures. While there's no cure, it can be managed with lifelong medication and bloodwork. You can help her below ❤️‍🩹

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.
