Let's face it: ICE is *not* a law enforcement agency. It is a ragtag collection of angry, arrested development vigilantes and malcontents that has gone "Lord of the Flies" on us.

For America's 250th, I read Frederick Douglass’ speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” on the House floor—for the first time in history. His speech endures as a mirror & mandate for us all—to confront our inequities while fighting for an America as good as its promise.
In case anyone is under the impression that things are getting back to normal here in the U.S., yesterday 🧊 grabbed a fruit seller off the street in broad daylight in my community. This was only one of several kidnappings in the area yesterday. Don’t let the circus distract you from the ongoing harm
The story is still evolving but this is the 1 year old killed. In my area, police aren’t supposed to shoot at cars. They are to get tag info & go later. To de-escalate. That’s ICE written policy also. They appear to be unaware.
They thought she stole DIAPERS. Pampers are among the most shoplifted items ever. What does that say about the thieves? The local fence won’t give cash for those stolen goods. They don’t feed any addiction but cleanliness.
Warnock: Right before they passed that ugly bill that cut $1 trillion out of medicaid, the Speaker of the House joined with other legislators and said a prayer, and then they went and voted for that bill. I just want to know what was in that prayer.
Cut the mold off the cheese and ate it anyways. My kids looked at me horrified, and obviously I didn’t raise them in enough poverty to understand this is completely normal.
One-third of Americans already carry medical debt. Instead of lowering costs, Trump officials are floating a plan for people to borrow money from their insurers to pay medical bills. Families need affordable health care, not more debt. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/b...

They removed CD/DVD drives from PCs. -Made physical media harder to buy and use. -Removed expandable storage from phones. -Pushed us into streaming subscriptions. -Made always-online normal. -Made unlimited internet necessary. -Slowly raised the price of everything. Ownership quietly became renting.
The work crew is really groovin’ as Trump’s name is ripped off the Kennedy Center. 😂 “Young man, pick yourself off the ground” … peak YMCA celebration vibes. 🎶 America is healing one scaffold dance at a time! 🕺 #YMCA #KennedyCenter
ABBY PHILLIP: “What about the law, Scott?” SCOTT JENNINGS: “What about it? Who cares?” 🤔 Refreshing honesty from the smuggest man in the world. The law does not matter to them.
In retrospect, we should've known the left would end up only caring about the marginalized when they can gentrify their struggles for their benefit when they decided the hero of Parkland wasn't the Black youth who ran towards danger, but the white rich kids who ran to the cameras.
It is almost too on the nose for the aging president to stage gladiatorial bouts and commission victory arches as his armies overextend their power in a futile effort to subdue the Persians. His mind cannot process winning as anything deeper than looking good. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Donald Trump’s Superficiality Is Bone-Deep
For the shallowest man ever to occupy the presidency, surface appeal is a guiding principle.

AOC: This is what I want people to understand: this is our money. When you pay your taxes, that money is being stolen to pay for a vanity project like a ballroom or whatever it is that this guy wants to do, instead of what it should be used for…
Well said. I don't care if he's a card-carrying Cherokee, he can still be a racist.
Tribal membership is a complicated matter, culturally & politically And it's a family debate that outsiders shouldn't get involved in And, it's irrelevant What's relevant is: claiming that tribal membership gives him a Get Out of Jail Free card on the sins he's committing right now Is bullshit
Fact #1: Markwayne Mullin is a registered member of the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma Fact #2: That doesn't mean he's not engaged in actively perpetuating human rights abuses and violating the Constitution as a member of this Regime and head of ICE, because Fact #3: Not all skin-folk are kinfolk 😑
Mullin: Are you calling me a racist? Green: Reclaiming my time. Ask him to shut up! Shut up! Mullin: No one will call me a racist. I’m Cherokee.
DC is under occupation! Troops from multiple agencies won't leave. We have nasty ICE activity like a lot of places, a constant National Guard presence, even agencies like the US Marshalls have come to get a piece. So as you think of this city, think of a dangerously militarized place fighting that.
The President of The United States is a pathetically horrible excuse for a human being
I like this image for the accuracy of its message. Don't pretend it's anything else.
The United States before and after the orange felon seized power. I’ll never forgive anyone who voted for destruction, corruption and chaos.
how did we go from “reduce your carbon footprint” to building data centers everywhere
