Hegseth: "A few months ago I was at the White House when President Trump announced his liberation day for America's trade policy. It was a landmark day. Well, today is another liberation day. The liberation of America's warriors ... you kill people and break things for a living."
Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."
Hegseth: "Basic training is being restored to what it should be -- scary, tough, and disciplined. We're empowering drill sergeants to instill healthy fear in new recruits, ensuring that future warfighters are forged ... they can put hands on recruits."
New data show that ICE is pulling record numbers of people off the streets who have no criminal convictions of any kind. This is not just a change from the Biden admin. This is a radical tactical shift compared to Trump 1.0. These arrests are up over 1,000% from 2017.

Phang: If you were scrolling on social media and saw a dog locked up in the middle of the Everglades—in the sun, in the heat, in the humidity—the outrage would be wild, wouldn’t it?
But then—we’re okay with human beings being treated like that?
100 days. 💔
UPDATE: “The man who impersonated ICE to intimidate the employees of a Philly auto repair center — and steal about $1,000 — will face numerous felony and misdemeanor charges…”: www.phillyvoice.com/philly-robbe...
Fake ICE agents were inevitable. How can cities be proactive about this?
With this in mind, at 6:14 p.m., as the hearing continued, Mr. Reuveni, again listening on the public line, emailed attorneys with the DHS Office of General Counsel, ICE Office of the Principal Legal Advisor (OPLA), and the DOS Office of Legal Advisor informing them along with other DOJ attorneys that the "Judge is certifying a nationwide class as we speak. It is likely a class-wide tro is imminent." At 6:44 p.m., Mr. Reuveni sent a follow-up email: "The judge is presently issuing a class-wide TRO. Can folks confirm for us if at the moment any individuals subject to the AEA are being staged for removal, or are presently in the air as part of removal (but not yet having landed and disembarked)?" At 6:44 p.m., Mr. Reuveni texted his supervisor Mr. Flentje referencing Bove's March 14, 2025, comment that it might become necessary to tell a court "fuck you." Mr. Flentje acknowledged Bove's comment with a joke referencing the possibility that either he or Mr. Reuveni could be fired, impliedly for reporting up their chain of command concerns that a court order may have been violated. At 6:46 p.m., Mr. Reuveni emailed DHS the substance of Judge Boasberg's oral order concerning class certification and a TRO: "The class is 'all noncitizens in US custody subject to the AEA' a minute order with more specifics will issue. Please confirm receipt of this email and let us know ASAP on the questions below concerning removals not yet effectuated, including those involving folks in the air." At 6:48 p.m. Mr. Reuveni sent another email: "Sorry for all the emails. Last email: the judge specifically ordered us to not remove anyone in the class, and to return
To recap:
Emil Bove, whose confirmation hearing for a lifetime judicial appointment to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals is on Wednesday, planned to tell the courts “fuck you” if they stood in the way of 47’s deportation campaign.
What we learned yesterday.
The Times They Are a-Changin'

Even the drone couldn't get it all.
#NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest
@kamalaharris.com @governorwalz.mn.gov It is so damn clear that you won, why won't you take action? Have you looked at all the data and the New York lawsuit? Why turn us over to a dictator? Just look at Election Truth Alliance and SMARTElections. #electionfraud #2024election #recount #verifythevote
Happy Obama Appreciation Day.
Last night, Capitol Police arrested roughly 60 veterans and their family members outside the U.S. Capitol. The group had gathered to hold a peaceful sit-in on the Capitol steps, but police intentionally set up a barrier of bike racks to prevent them from demonstrating.
The White House isn’t gonna host a press conference to tell you fascism is here.
So let me help you: fascism is here. We’ve crossed the rubicon. We live in a fascist state.
Thrilled to announce the launch of the Removal Coalition!

Floridas’s child-welfare agency — in a reversal of a 30-year policy — is now willing to turn minors over to ICE.
This 17-year-old was taken from his foster home in handcuffs and shackles.

This video is for all US citizens who are currently overwhelmed by Trump's more than 200 executive orders.
THIS should be retweeted to the MAX.
I never saw a more helpful video.
(It's about two minutes long. It's worth a lot.)
The U.S. Constitution and longstanding federal law strictly limit the use of the military to police civilians. Under the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, active-duty military forces are prohibited from engaging in domestic law enforcement unless explicitly authorized by Congress or the Constitution.
Mr. Authoritarian President, why weren’t you as interested in upholding “very strong law and order” during the insurrection on the Nation’s Capital as you are now in LA? Was your inaction then a result of your having incited the insurrection? #WeMustImpeachTrump!
Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"
