My last day of work at the World Trade Center was Sept 10, 2001. I worked late, so I was going to go in late the next day. I never made it in (the planes hit in the morning). I was at 5 WTC, a 9 story building between the towers, all my coworkers evacuated
What I remember most were the missing person posters, especially plastered all over Grand Central Terminal
Now we experience it again with #ICE under #Trump
Powered by the same stupid hate and fear that powered 9/11

#LA #Dodgers denied #ICE agents access to #DodgerStadium parking lot
The #LosAngeles Dodgers on Thurs said they had denied ICE agents access to the parking lot at Dodger Stadium earlier in the day.
"This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium & requested permission to access the parking lots," the team said in a social media post.
"They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight's game will be played as scheduled."

It's so very offending how #Trump thinks he can "solve" the illegal war by Russia against Ukraine without even talking to Ukraine
Russia needs to fuck off out of Ukraine and return all the land, repay for the war damage and at least pay some heavy fines before even talking about peace if you ask me
Why do we have so many fascist toddler like dictators on this planet..

"Adam Boyd, a 33-year-old attorney who resigned from ICE’s legal department last month, told me he left because the mission was no longer about protecting the homeland from threats. 'It became a contest of how many deportations could be reported to Stephen Miller by December,' Boyd said. ...
'I had to make a moral decision,' he told me."

When George Mason University president Gregory Washington received notice that the Trump administration had opened an investigation into complaints of antisemitism, he was “perplexed.”
But there are signs it may be part of a coordinated campaign to oust him.

#Trump expressed his disdain for #WindPower during a meeting with his Cabinet recently, calling it an expensive form of #energy that “smart” countries
don’t use.
His comments contained false & misleading information about the use of wind power in the #UnitedStates & around the world, & came on the heels of an #ExecutiveOrder he signed Monday that would end subsidies around “#green” energy.

#JDVance is traveling to #LosAngeles Friday to meet w/ #Marines & visit federal command centers.
Vance’s office did not release a reason for his visit. But #LA has been the epicenter of #protests against the #Trump admin’s #MassDeportation ops.
Trump deployed #NationalGuard troops to LA this month in response to the protests. #California sued for a #TRO to stop the deployment, but a federal appeals court ruled in Trump’s favor Thurs night while litigation continues.

Trump's conflicting messages sow confusion [& disbelief] over the #IranWar
#Trump says the #US is winning the #war with #Iran even as thousands of additional American #troops deploy to the #MiddleEast.
He has pilloried other countries for not helping the US, only to say later he does not need their assistance. He has 2X delayed deadlines for Iran to reopen the #StraitOfHormuz.

CORRECTION POST ON CANADIAN LGBTQ HOTLINE FAKE
However, the number listed, 1-877-330-6366, does not connect to a Canadian government service. It connects to Trans Lifeline, a nonprofit, peer-led support line that has served both American and Canadian transgender people since 2014. No new Canadian hotline has been created for LGBTQ+ Americans.

HAPPENING NOW: Judge Charles Breyer is presiding over a hearing in #Newsom v. #Trump -- the first hearing in the district court following the Ninth Circuit's order allowing Trump to mobilize the national guard in #California.
Judge Breyer starts by saying that the parties and the court need to decide how to move forward. (This was supposed to be a preliminary injunction hearing, but Ninth Circuit construed his initial TRO as a preliminary injunction and stayed it.)

The IRS Is Building a Vast System to Share Millions of Taxpayers’ Data With ICE
—
ProPublica has obtained the blueprint for the Trump administration’s unprecedented plan to turn over IRS records to Homeland Security in order to speed up the agency’s mass deportation efforts.

To recap:
Via Kyle Cheney:
Judge BREYER.. #Newsom and DOJ to brief him on whether he still has authority to weigh #Trump's military deployment in #LosAngeles following the 9th Circuit's stay of his original order.
He seems to think there are aspects of the case still in his domain — like Posse Comitatus.

The California judge granted 2 TROs in response to a lawsuit filed last week by immigrant advocacy groups. A fuller hearing is expected in the coming weeks, but the initial rulings represent a sharp rebuke of the tactics that federal agents have employed in & around #LA….

"I have been on Truth Social to cover Trump since the first day it became active, and have read every post. The people on that platform are hardcore MAGA cultists who are typically intensely loyal. But his dismissive post on Epstein drew a tidal wave of angry responses like I have never seen before. So far, Trump has received over 45,000 replies, over 90% negative."
