I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC
I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.
I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

While 42 million Americans scramble to find their next meal, Trump squandered many taxpayer dollars on his decadent Mar-a-Lago 'Great Gatsby' party. Since Don likely never read the book, he'll be clueless about how this story ends. Until it does.

At the risk of sounding petty, calls for Democratic unity going forward are all well and good, but let’s not forget that the reason Cuomo ran against Mamdani in the first place was a last-ditch effort by the New York Democratic Party to ratfuck their duly elected nominee.

Someone doesn't understand exit polling. The news outlets POLLED people leaving the polls. And the numbers were SO DEVASTATING, they were confident in their projections. And it was a stomp.
A number news outlets called it at *exactly* 8 pm—the moment the polls closed—with *0%* of the vote in.
We're pissed.
Worth noting that only a few years ago CA voted overwhelmingly for an independent elections commission to eliminate partisan gerrymandering.
Californians. Are. Fucking. Pissed.

I saw they called with with less than 2% of votes in and was like “wait, how?”.
Now I get it. Makes sense.
