Hi, BlueSkyers, from a psychologist, mom, & dog-mom, very worried about Earth’s countless species being extinguished by climate ignorers. Salvation: 0 private $ in political campaigns, ranked choice voting, expand SCOTUS, & abolish EC. Follow me for urgent news reposts and witty replies.

Republicans will say he’s just joking. Media will say it’s just Trump. But if it was any other President, we’d taking him seriously, and we should here too.

so honest ICE employees do not know where to go that it's safe to report violations in DHS & ICE. Contact the Democratic CoChair of the House Homeland Security Committee, not the Republican chair.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

1. Federal agents from ICE and other agencies are wrongly detaining U.S. citizens, sometimes detaining them for days, on suspicion that they are undocumented immigrants.

The raids are done without search warrants or other procedures designed to protect civil liberties.

How federal agents are terrorizing American citizens

Last week, hundreds of heavily armed federal agents descended on an apartment complex in Chicago, arriving in Black Hawk helicopters and moving trucks.

BREAKING:

The Supreme Court just rejected Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal of her criminal conviction for recruiting and grooming teenage girls for sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein.

The decision means that her conviction and 20-year criminal sentence remain in place.

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement.

Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

Everyone should listen to Chris Murphy's extraordinary warning about Trump on our pod. First, he says the logic must be that the more lawless he gets, the stiffer the resistance.

"If I give in and consent to these kinds of tactics then it just normalizes it all." 1/

President Donald Trump pressured Texas Republicans this summer to draw a new map creating five more GOP seats in Congress — at the expense of Texas minority voters, who will no longer be able to elect the candidates of their choice and will see their political strength greatly diminished.

What set her off is likely a demagogue inflaming the public with his constant lies and anti immigrant rhetoric. Did she want the jobs??? It’s been tested. No American is asking for these jobs or willing to do these jobs in the fields, bussing tables, washing dishes, digging trenches, housekeeping.

Greg gets confirmation that Miller runs the country:

I asked Bannon if he thinks Miller’s tweet means federal law enforcement should and will now criminally investigate groups who describe ICE as “authoritarian.”

“Yes,” Bannon replied. “Stephen Miller is correct—more importantly he’s in charge.”

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 12d

News --> Steve Bannon tells me he fully expects Trump to use the Texas ICE office shooting as the hook to unleash law enforcement on liberal immigration groups by connecting political violence to anti-ICE rhetoric.

This is going to get ugly. 1/

Trump’s Eruption of Rage at Texas ICE Shooting Hints at a Darker Story

To Trumpworld, the Dallas shooting appears to provide the perfect pretext to start silencing wholly lawful advocacy groups—for inciting “violence and terrorism.”
