ICE agents shot another driver -- on Tues.
He had just asked to call his wife.
They shot him six times. One bullet his jaw.
Now he can't speak and has been mostly unconscious.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin is one of the former military/intel lawmakers who infuriated Trump last year by making a video urging U.S. service members to refuse illegal orders.
Today, as Trump vows genocide in Iran, Slotkin says that video was made for "moments like these." www.huffpost.com/entry/elissa...
When Trump is at The Hague, his lawyers will claim he’s not competent to stand trial, and tonight’s speech will be exhibit A for the prosecution and the defense.
He sounds 106 years old.
Sauer just had to say that slaves had an "intent to remain" in the US.
Motherfucker WHAT??
Israel's crimes in Lebanon are barely registering here, and won't meet resistance from our own regime of war criminals. European leaders need to step up fast. www.huffpost.com/entry/israel...
Today is Trans Day of Visibility. Trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people have always been here — from the hijra of India to the Diné nádleehi to the leaders who built the modern LGBTQIA+ movement here in New York. Your existence is not up for debate. Your lives are not a political issue. We're fighting for a city where every trans New Yorker can live openly, safely, and with joy.
What Trump has been doing to Cuba is unconscionable. He's singlehandedly forced the island into a humanitarian crisis over recent weeks.
An American president can’t be given carte blanche to threaten hostile takeovers of other nations and sow mass chaos around the world. (1/2)
NBC: Under intl law, hitting civilian infrastructure is prohibited. Why is POTUS threatening war crimes?
LEAVITT: POTUS has made it quite clear to the Iranian regime their best move is to make a deal or else
N: Which objectives would destroying a desalination plant help?
LEAVITT: Haley, go ahead
NYTimes has spent years breathlessly repeating claims that objecting to the treatment of Palestinians is antisemitic, but when right-wingers say they're “J-pilled,” NYTimes calls this "slang for skepticism of Israeli influence."
Where's the "J" in "Israel"? Might that "J" mean something else?
Imagine apologizing for using the word 'apartheid' a week before Israel implements a death penalty designed to only apply to Palestinians.

The caption reads Etienne Laurent / AFP / Getty LAPD officers arrest a protester dressed as Lady Liberty in chains, following clashes near the Metropolitan Detention Center during the "No Kings" national day of protest in Los Angeles on March 28, 2026.
Her grin knowing how this arrest looks

Stop calling ICE Nazis what?
Thank you for making No Kings 3 the biggest day of mass protest that America has ever seen. #NoKings
🚨 THIS JUST IN: With over 100 protests still to come, we can already estimate that at least 8 million people participated in No Kings protests today.
That makes No Kings 3 the largest single day of protest in American history. #NoKings

People off to the side holding signs NO KINGS and ITS OK TO LEAVE THE CULT
Thousands in Harrisburg, PA; so many groups are tabling, a student led group is selling brownies to fundraise for the unhoused. People from the stage are shouting out groups and telling people how to get more involved with them. This is the point.
The Philly #NoKings march has no end.
Washington, DC #NoKings
Main event begins soon: freedcproject.org/event-list/n...
The Villages have fallen to the No Kings forces

Screenshot of a Andrew Leyden tweet: Thousands are gathering on the site of Donald Trump’s proposed new arch in Arlington ahead of a march into DC as part of the #nokings protest.
Arlington, VA! #NoKings
Look who I ran into on my early morning overpass No Kings Protest. That Science Guy Bill Nye, pocket constitution in hand, along with other constitution, democracy supporting patriots. No Kings!
I love Trump's choice to put his signature on paper money as inflation skyrockets toward near-post-COVID levels because of his own idiotic policies.
"Why is this dollar getting me less than it used to? Oh, it says right here." Next he should watermark his face on all receipt paper.

SCHLAPP: Who wants to see impeachment hearings?
