ICE tried to enter LA elementary schools—

Seeking five children from the 1st through 6th grades 😳

They were turned away by school administrators.

When it comes to things like immigration, health care, and education, Christian nationalist pastor Rob McCoy suddenly insists that Christ's words are irrelevant because "Jesus' teachings were to the individual," not the government. https://www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwatch/his-kingdom-not-earth-rob-mccoy-inadvertently-destroys-christian-nationalism

TikTok needs to be sold because it's owned by the Chinese government? Then the US government needs to be sold too, because it's owned by the Russian government.

So, #Trump will now again pressure #Ukraine to hurry up and be massacred so he can get back to collecting all that sweet, sweet #russian blood money.

"After talking with #Putin's representative, #Vitkoff told Trump that the fastest way to an agreement is to give #Russia control over the #Luhansk, #Donetsk, #Zaporizhia and #Kherson regions, — Reuters"

@AlliFlowers There's no floor. Get rid of one and there's a new level of hell below them.

"Where is he?" The judge asks about #AbregoGarcia. And Drew Ensign of the #DOJ doesn't have that information?

I am not a lawyer but am asking those who are: what constitutes contempt of court?

We are all one administrative error away from being in this situation. We are all Abrego Garcia, Khalil Mahmoud, Rumeysa Ozturk, and the others whose names we don't know.

Terrible decision

US judge will not curb #immigration enforcement in places of #worship

A federal judge on Friday refused to limit the #Trump admin’s immigration enforcement activities in places of worship, ruling against a group of 27 #religious organizations that had sued the admin over its decision to drop a previous policy against enforcement in sensitive locations.

Remember, your value doesn't decrease based on someone else's inability to see your worth.

@GreenFire

I hope people remember these are not just tRump Tariffs but rather Republican Tariffs.

The Republican House & Senate can vote to stop tRump anytime they want.

Leaving prices the same and adding "tariff surcharges" like they're Ticketmaster checkout charges is a good idea in order to help educate our ill-informed electorate imo.

Judge: What to do w/the govt saying we can't do this before Tues?

Plaintiff's counsel says govt has't provided factual basis for why they can't provide info/comply w/order before that

Judge: What I'm contemplating is very quick briefing order and order of compliance. Govt, she says, just so we're clear: There are no business hours in this court. And if we need to I'm going to require daily status updates on what if anything the govt is doing or not doing.

UPDATE:

Via Josh Kovensky:

Judge Xinis gives DOJ until 11:30 AM to file the declaration.

"The Defendants’ suggestion that they need time to meaningfully review a four-page Order that
reaffirms this basic principle blinks at reality."

IOW: Judge Xinis gives the government until *11:30 a.m.* to give status report on Abrego Garcia. Hearing remains at 1 p.m.

@AlliFlowers @GottaLaff MAGAs *should* love that-- they didn't want us to be the "world's police" anymore, right?

Would love to see the mental gymnastics routine they'd have to go through to "parse" that one for public consumption if Greenland/Denmark did that.

@GottaLaff @McWabbit @AlliFlowers
If you’re going that far, make voting compulsory for everyone over 18.
Fine people who don’t.

@AlliFlowers @GottaLaff I’d say time for the US military to do a Turkish style coup and issue new elections without GOP shenanigans and automatic voter registration for all.

Social Security under #DOGE and #Musk Reclassifies Alive Immigrants - brought in under Biden - as Dead to end SS IDs, thus terminating their banking and credit to Push Them to ‘Self Deport’ and Leave USA.
