Well done Brett Kavanaugh!
We’ve cataloged all reports we could find of U.S. citizens being held against their will by immigration officers.
So far, we’ve counted more than 500 cases. And it’s still an undercount.

No Guard outside schools or ballot boxes!
The D.C. Board of Elections submitted an official request asking National Guard troops to steer clear of ballot drop boxes and other voting locations in the city.

Yesterday afternoon, ICE agents — who did not present a warrant, and who appear to have been disguised as construction workers — fired 7 shots into a car with a 5-year-old child, hitting Oscar Belgal in the neck.
Belgal was not presenting a safety risk to anyone at the time. It was ICE officers who created all the danger and lawlessness. It was ICE who carelessly and needlessly unleashed a hail of bullets that could easily have killed a 5-year old. Unfortunately, this is not the first time, or the tenth, or the hundredth, that ICE has endangered kids.
We just hit the streets to demand that Oscar Belgal be released from ICE custody immediately. He’s currently being held at MDC Brooklyn. There also must be an independent investigation, led by the NYS Attorney General, to ensure accountability for this shooting. I’m also calling for a thorough review of NYPD actions yesterday. It is the job of the NYPD to preserve safety and peace, not to facilitate ICE detentions and deportations.
No more of rogue federal agents terrorizing our neighbors. Get ICE the hell out of NYC. #AbolishICE #ICEOutNow
Guard should stay at least 1,000 miles from all ballot drop boxes
The D.C. Board of Elections says it’s asking the National Guard to avoid standing near D.C.’s ballot drop boxes, which opened today, in the wake of video footage showing them near a box in Foggy Bottom: washingtonsun.com/metro/nati…

A decent way to think about 2026: many of the places that have swung the most towards Republicans during the Trump era (Iowa, Ohio, Wisconsin, south TX, north country of NY) are the places we could see some of the biggest pro-Dem swings this year.

Mamdani: There is no explanation for these tactics. There is no explanation for federal officers firing this many rounds into a car that has a five year old in the car. Look at how many people live right here. This is a residential neighborhood. We are right here by a subway.
And the pretext of ICE is, in their words, to keep this country safe. How is it keeping everyone safe to have, as you just heard from the police commissioner, individuals wearing construction vests in masks with long guns? Residents have no idea if these are law enforcement agents, or if they are simply attacking someone on the street. And when it comes to ICE, it begs the question, what's the difference? There is no explanation for this.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens.
We are.
500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term.
Our tally is almost certainly an undercount.

This unconscionable move will hurt the most vulnerable children in America.
Because of federal rules, children covered by Medicaid won't be able to access vaccines that are no longer recommended by the federal government, even as children with private insurance will. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/r…

FOX: I understand thinking that some people have too much money. We are engine of the world for these things and people end up being billionaires as a result.
El-Sayed: The issue is not that some people have too much money. It’s that the engine that created their opportunity to make money is being underfunded…
FOX: You said you wanted to choke them out.
El-Sayed: I don't want to choke anyone out. I want to make sure everyone can breathe. Right now, you have an economy where people are getting choked out because they don’t have the basic means for a dignified life because we are more focused on allowing a billionaire to make another billion…

ICE is now separating children from their parents in the nation’s interior and deeming them “unaccompanied.”

Mamdani: Thirty years from now, when our city is dancing to a beat we cannot imagine, or taking in art more creative than anything we’ve ever seen, it will be in no small part because the children of this city had the support and the public goods they needed to succeed. The parks in which they could play, the public transit they could ride to visit new worlds, and the universal childcare they could rely upon to learn, to grow, to become themselves. And while we may have some more gray hair then, we will know that progress was made, that greatness was made possible because of a program like this one. Because government provided its people with the foundation to succeed. And because, and I say this specifically to all of the providers and the advocates, because you were willing to believe once again that something different could happen.

NEW: DHS agents tracked people observing ICE arrests, photographed them, ran their plates, pulled personal information, and added them to a Palantir database, according to newly unsealed court filings.

$20,000,000.00 from taxpayers.
That's how much Trump has spent so far on his propaganda tv ads.

About 6 inches of the water that flooded Sag Harbor last weekend was there because of us.
102 flood readings from South Carolina to Massachusetts. At 32 of them the water never would have reached flood stage without climate change.

☀️ A rural Idaho county banned wind and solar in 2024. Now it’s rethinking, because neighboring counties are pulling in six figures a year in tax revenue for their schools and roads. Local meetings matter, y’all. 🗳️
