The National Guard members and Marines have carried out exactly one temporary detainment. That’s it. It cost at least $134 million. https://theintercept.com/2025/06/16/la-ice-protests-military-cost/

".,..Agents picking up street vendors without warrants. American citizens being grilled. Home Depot lots swept. Car washes raided. The wide-scale arrests and detainments — often in the region’s largely Latino neighborhoods — contain hallmarks of racial profiling and other due process violations....“We are seeing ICE come into our communities to do indiscriminate mass arrests of immigrants or people who appear to them to be immigrant, largely based on racial profiling,” said Eva Bitran, a lawyer at ACLU of Southern California.

JUST NOW — NEW YORK MAYORAL CANDIDATE BRAD LANDER ARRESTED BY ICE: “You don’t have the authority to arrest US citizens asking to see a judicial warrant”

The suspect in the #shootings, #VanceBoelter, was arrested on Sunday night after a 2-day manhunt. LEOs said Boelter had a manifesto & a list of targets, which included several other #Democratic lawmakers & #PlannedParenthood centers.

Gov #TimWalz has called the shootings “an act of targeted #PoliticalViolence,” though the exact motive for the attack is not yet clear.
[it is]

As of Tues, Walz had reportedly still not heard from #Trump.

When every cabinet secretary is a thoroughly unqualified (but telegenic) hack, and most of the qualified federal employees have been fired by DOUCHE, You can bet the next few emergencies will be devastating for the USA.

@DemocracyMattersALot
Trump applied for 1900 migrants with special apps to work at his properties, MaraTaco, golf hotels, vinyards.

As one would expect...

The Tyrant Test

A leader who uses military force to suppress his political opposition ought to lose the right to govern.

@DemocracyMattersALot Abolish ICE and abolish Department of Homeland Security. They were both created in a knee jerk reaction to 9/11. They are not needed.
In their 2 decades of existence they have made more problems than they have solved.

When people talk about "survival of the fittest" or "the crime of empathy," I want clips like this to be pressed into the sides of those people's self-serving dumbfuck heads until they cave in.

"Dozens of communities have been devastated by windstorms, tornadoes, flooding & wildfires since Jan 20, killing nearly 100 Americans.

Trump🚨hasn't visited a single one.

He has, however, managed 40 days of golf."

We must amplify his lack of empathy for Americans' security, safety, health, wellbeing... He's a soulless, wicked traitor.

The #TrumpRegime has nearly destroyed the social safety net, economy, #SSA, #FEMA, #VA, #HHS incl the #CDC, #FDA...

One thing is not debatable: Netanyahu has said these things to us before.

#Louvre shuts down in a staff strike, sounding the alarm on #overtourism

https://apnews.com/article/louvre-museum-paris-closed-lines-delay-2bbf9be4f49de739fd14dd4d908e4d72

The Louvre, the world’s most-visited museum and a global symbol of art, beauty and endurance, has withstood war, terror, and pandemic — but on Monday, it was brought to a halt by its own staff, who say the institution is crumbling under the weight of mass tourism.

I'm sure the DOJ is going to get right on this...

NYT headline:

"Watchdog Finds Trump Administration Broke Law by Withholding Library Funds

It is the second time the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office has found the administration illegally impounded funds."

😲 #wtf? 😤

"… all veterans remain entitled to treatment. But individual workers are now free to decline to care for patients …

Language requiring healthcare professionals to care for veterans regardless of their politics and marital status has been explicitly eliminated.

… medical staff can also be barred from working at VA hospitals based on their marital status, political party affiliation or union activity,"
