ICE deported a Hayward family to Colombia, including a six year old deaf boy without his hearing.
@ericswalwell.bsky.social sent staff to Colombia with hearing aids for the boy, and they're working to find a way to bring the family back under humanitarian parole.

People, including children and the elderly, were held for weeks in Colorado ICE hold rooms, without beds, in clear violation of ICE regulations.
And it gets worseβ¦

The less empathy a person has, the more likely they are to inflict pain, suffering, and death upon others.
Learning to differentiate those who have empathy from people who feign empathy β may save your life.

blue suede shoes?
everything was hunky-dory until 1953. thatβs when shit truly went sideways, after Mossadegh broke the eleventh commandment β Thou Shalt Not Fuck With Big Oil β by nationalizing Iranβs oil industry. our CIA and Britainβs MI6 got themselves worked into a Big Mad over this, and engineered a coup that overthrew Mossadegh and turned Iran back into a monarchy, restoring Reza Pahlavi as the Shah. the thing about the Shah of Iran is that he was a repressive piece of shit who was hated by his people, and his fuckery led to the Iranian Revolution of 1979 β and thatβs how Iran went from being a repressive monarchy to being a repressive theocracy. meet the new boss, yadda yadda. thatβs why weβre in this mess right now β because we couldnβt leave well enough alone 73 years ago.
did you know Iran used to be a western-style democracy, with an elected prime minister? but then one day in 1953, the CIA ousted him in a coup, and restored the repressive and corrupt Shah to power β that's REALLY how this mess all got started. you can read all about it in my post: bit.ly/4lfWn7c
Deception Detection 101: If you can't answer the question, "No. I'm not sleeping with my subordinate" β then you ARE sleeping with your subordinate.
Reporting has confirmed aspects of the accuserβs comments to the FBI, but not her accusations against Trump.
This isnβt a coincidence β itβs a cover-up.
Massive protests have been seen at Epsteinβs other property, zorro ranch. The fact this administration thinks it can do obviously try to hide the co-conspirators will ultimately be their own undoing, we the people DEMAND justice!
At Donald's behest, the United States of America is committing crimes against humanity.
And the Republican Party is doing nothing to stop him.
Name the policy, Rep. Kiley always voted with Trump. He's still backing Mike Johnson as Speaker, caucusing with the GOP, conceding their unpopular agenda and still going along with all their policies and insanity.
Stephen Miller is a fascist promoting a dictatorship. He's an offputting creep, too β the GOP's Dr. Evil. Republican Sen. Thom Tillis says he's a βbig problemβ for Trump. But that's true only if Democrats take advantage and tie Miller to Republicans in the midterms.

I know thereβs a lot going on, but we canβt ignore this.
BREAKING: Judge Brann has ejected the new leaders of the NJ U.S. attorney's office, once again finding the Trump administration is illegally attempting to circumvent Senate confirmation.
He says this could result in dismissals of indictments.

The NYT found that doctors hired by Epstein, for himself, the girls & women he associated with, bent or broke ethical rules. Epstein rewarded some of these medical professionals with substantial fees, gifts, & donations.
Complicity = guilt. Consequences 4 all!
Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, thatβs treason.
Don Jr. and Eric Trump backing a drone company to target military sales is a total collapse of American ethics. In any functioning democracy, the Presidentβs family selling weapons to the military their father leads would be a federal crime.
Listen to Julie K. Brown. Redact only victims' names. Demand the full release of the Epstein files.
Wahls: The war in Iran is going to be devastating for farm states like Iowa. You mentioned diesel β that is what the vast majority of farm machines, like tractors or combines, run on. And the cost of oil not only has a huge impact on fuel costs, it also has a huge impact on other farm inputs
PSA for Tennessee media: you are either calling out Rep Oglesβ racism for what it is, or you are normalizing it. There is no third option.
My mentions have folks calling Talarico a "fascist" and assuring me that black Texans would never ever vote for anyone who uses Christian language.
For the good of democracy, I'm begging some of you to take a long break from social media. It's not helping you and you're definitely not helping us.
"Jews don't belong in American society."
Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America.
But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.
This is not trueβdriverβs licenses arenβt acceptable under the SAVE Act without additional proof of citizenship. The fact that they keep doing this sleight of hand should make clear that the SAVE Act is not something that βevery American getsβ
Early voting in Virginia has kicked into full gear as voters weigh a new map that could deliver four blue seats in Congress β and one former president is urging voters to say yes.
βVirginians can respond by making sure your voting power is not diminished by what Republicans are doing,β Obama said.
βThe U.S. has intercepted encrypted communications believed to have originated in Iran that may serve as "an operational trigger" for "sleeper assets" according to alert sent to law enforcement agencies.β
