Omg— 32 people and 3 toilets people per cage, mosquitos in the hot facility, worms in the food… drinking water from spigots off the toilets!

And that was the “sanitized” tour?!?!

One of the Democratic lawmakers said they had given four days notice before visiting the facility. They were only let into the front part of it and could hear caged men screaming things like, “Please tell my mother I’m here,” and, “¡Libertad!” (“Freedom!”)

One shouted that he was an American citizen.

Trump’s executive order will carve up the U.S. into a nation with varying citizenship laws”— an “administrative nightmare” for an already understaffed and overworked government agency.

And the unclear #SocialSecurity system will be an “opening for fraud.”

The Supreme Court order (unsigned)—

“based its decision on the legality of Trump's executive order itself, and didn't rule on whether the reorganization plans broke the law.”

In February, #Trump warned BRICS nations would face "100% tariffs" if they tried to undermine the role of the U.S. dollar in global trade.

(#MyThoughts — weird— seems Trump’s actions are doing that all by themselves)

This 64-year-old grandma with no criminal record who has been in the #USA most of her life and has always complied with #immigration rules sure is scary with all that gardening she does. Thank the gods that #ICE is out there collecting people like her!

Also, profile much?

One of trump’s personal lawyers threatened to sue the NYT for libel since it reported about the leaked intelligence that concluded the damage from the US bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities was nowhere near as devastating as trump said it was.

Now the #trump admin claims the bombing “severely damaged” the Iranian nuclear program.

It is unclear whether the US knows the location of Iran’s enriched uranium. The IAEA stated it was moved before the bombing.

I find this mannequin of him floating on the side of a cardboard Amazon box while clutching a wad of cash much more interesting.

What’s up with the passive voice, NYT?

How about:

I was watching Handmaid’s Tale (S5, E6), and when Gilead’s masked goons caught Elisabeth Moss’s character, I thought— ‘ICE.’

Trump said he has a plan if the Iran regime falls* —

So I saw this last night.

What a troubling image (coupled with the text above it).

Image caption:

“Billboards in Tel Aviv on Tuesday called on President Trump to help Israel in the war with Iran.”

On bombing Iran, Trump said:

“I may do it, I may not do it…

I mean, nobody knows what I’m gonna do.”

ICE is targeting homeless shelters and emergency rooms in LA.

(How very classy of them.)

DHS denies this (but we all saw them lie several times live on TV today, so…)

The news commentators have pointed out how government authorities have not provided any clear place to protest (aka exercise their 1st Amendment Constitutional right) nearby (the instructions of where to stand were unclear and undefined).
