A #California #farmworker died on Friday from injuries sustained a day earlier when #US #immigration agents raided a cannabis operation & arrested hundreds of workers, according to a farmworker advocacy group.

Dozens of #ImmigrantRights activists faced off w/ #federal agents in rural Southern California on Thursday. It was the latest escalation of #Trump's campaign for #MassDeportations of immigrants in the US.

UFW says a farm worker has died of injuries sustained as a result of yesterday’s immigration enforcement action in Ventura County, California.

They will try to tell you, “Resistance is futile.” It is never so.
The use of AI by lawyers in court is not itself illegal. But Wang found that the lawyers violated a federal rule that requires lawyers to certify that claims they make in court are "well grounded" in the law. Turns out, fake cases don't meet that bar. https://www.npr.org/2025/07/10/nx-s1-5463512/ai-courts-lawyers-mypillow-fines
Holy cow, as an American, I wasn't aware of the Horizon IT scandal. ~1,000 postal workers were wrongfully prosecuted for theft and other crimes, imprisoned, and forced to repay tens of thousands of pounds. 13 of them committed suicide! But it was an IT error! AI will make this worse.

Bass: I just signed an executive directive that puts all city departments and leadership on notice to protect Angelenos—essentially from the federal government.

We’re also filing a FOIA request because we want to know: Who are these masked men, and why are they masked in the first place?

Need more of this!

Last time I went for an oil change there were three lads struggling to push a car up a tow truck ramp. They'd just fallen back as I pulled up, and were struggling to try again.

They got the car up in the end because there wasn't anyone around telling them they were doing it wrong or explaining gravity to them or saying that there was no way they'd ever get it up so why bother, instead there was just a random bloke who made it four guys instead of three and the car went up and a little while later that bloke got his wallet out to pay for the oil change and got told to put it away and everybody had a generally nice day.

That's one way that real life is different from the internet

Senator Murkowski just saved the Big Beautiful Bill

She switched her vote to yes giving republicans the 50 - 50 split which allows JD Vance to tiebreak

She immediately told reporters she hopes congress will vote it down.

Up to 18.5 MILLION Americans could lose Medicaid coverage because of this

Republicans are cowards

@flexghost I hate these cowards so much
@flexghost Is that her, or a still from "They Live"?
@flexghost She's no different from the rest of her despicable party, she's been trying to destroy ANWR for years. This is why our rejection of conservatives must be absolute.
@flexghost She is and has ALWAYS been a Traitor!!! Fuck her!
@flexghost Then it is J Divan's decision in her eyes and she's not to blame. Even Susan Collins voted against.

@flexghost Insane, corrupt and unfit to serve. She claims she “hopes Congress will vote it down” which is psychotic thing to say after voting in favor of it.

#resist #nokings

@flexghost Murkowski has been a pain for Democracy from the very beginning.

I wonder if she’s thinking hardly about the BS she always ends up supporting. For those that don’t know, Sen. Murkowski has always claimed to have had a difficult time supporting these republican bills… before she ALWAYS ends up supporting then…!

@rlstone4dems @flexghost it's a convenient way to stay in the news.

@flexghost She votes for it and then hopes Congress VOTES IT DOWN??

That's beyond sick. It's not even on the same planet with sick. 🤮🤮🤮

@flexghost Self serving, egotistical cowards if you please.

@flexghost I begin to think she does this on purpose to draw all the fire.

There are 51 people responsible for this vote, but we're going to light up the network with hate more for this one than any other.

All those others must take some comfort in that. If I were Senator Anonymous (R-RU), I'd be buying Murkowski dinner every night of the week for taking this heat.

@mxyzptlk @flexghost People get talked into going against their better judgment. I've seen it happen and it's happened to me. Hell, just spent the last 10 years doing that over and over.

They relentlessly hounded her I'm sure. Probably plenty of threats too. They know what's coming same as us and being the very last one...

I bet they told her they'd kill her. She was pretty much the last of her kind if she was real.

Doesn't make your point any less valid though. It plays well.

@flexghost fuck her!!!!!!!!!!!

@flexghost

Yeah, let's put out the fire with gasoline and hope it doesn't burn 🤢 🤮

@flexghost They only get brave the day they retire

@flexghost

C-word

Sorry, not sorry

@flexghost We need to take all of the current government and put them through High School civics and maybe just a general job orientation.
@flexghost Murkowski said a couple months ago that "We are all afraid" of trump's retaliation. Has fear driven her to this?
She could've been a hero, but instead she made a terrible choice.
To hell with every Senator who voted for this abomination. There will be a reckoning.
@Barbramon1 @flexghost Courage is not a Conservative American value. They don't consider "coward" to even be an insult.
@Barbramon1 @flexghost I do think he's threatening them and their families, yes, but that just makes her a bigger coward. And plenty still haven't had to be threatened at all.
@freequaybuoy @flexghost
They are complying in advance.🤬
@Barbramon1 @flexghost makes you wonder: why so vulnerable? What’s he got on you? Why don’t you have the cajones to vote how your constituents want?
@catsnfats @flexghost Deep red Alaska enjoys a lot of benefits bestowed upon it by Democratic federal legislation. Alaska has the 2nd largest SNAP benefit payout and 2nd largest percentage of people on Medicaid. Cuts would be devastating.
Its huge oil, gas, and mining industries benefit greatly from deregulation provisions of the bill. There was massive pressure on Murkowski from those sectors to pass it.
I think she was torn between competing interests but sided with wealthy donors.
@Barbramon1 @flexghost ahhhh, that makes sense. Thank you for explaining!

@flexghost

That alt-text though. Hilarious. Kudos!

@flexghost she looks like she's more concerned with the phantom Morticia and Gomez specters being wholesome and unchristian in her hallucination.
@flexghost Loving the alt text. I’m sure it was #gravy induced.
@flexghost She exhibits all the worst “qualities “ of members of the #gravy Old Party.
@flexghost at least she is consistent. Too bad she chooses to be the worst person as possible at every chance
@flexghost are votes under duress legally binding? She said no for 24 hours straight and they kept hounding her until they got a yes, which she immediately said she regretted.
@flexghost but...if you did not switch your f***** vote...it would not ha e gotten there....
@flexghost political parties The afterbirth of democracy

@flexghost

This woman is dumb as a stump!!!

@flexghost Imagine if any of us did our jobs this way.

@flexghost

she's just your typical RW asshole coward...

She immediately told reporters she hopes congress will vote it down.

SHE IS FUCKING CONGRESS AND SHOULD HAVE AND COULD HAVE.

@flexghost these are the cunts that destroyed Democracy, ....these greedy fucking cowards here 😡
@Lazarou everyone knew this was coming. We still have midwits clapping for this.
@flexghost
Why would she vote for it if she immediately wants Congress to vote it down?
@flexghost wtf is going on with her? It’s all an act.

@flexghost

Worthless. Spineless. Bought and Paid For.

Alaska Senator's Unbelievable Interview about the Big Budget Bill

YouTube
@flexghost "I hope someone else will do the right thing!" says every Republican always.
@flexghost
The term "conservative" is pure sarcasm.
They conserve nothing.
They even destroy the National fucking Parks
@flexghost Let her know what you think
https://www.murkowski.senate.gov to send her an email.
Form requires an Alaskan address but you can just pick one off Google maps and hit send.
Fucking coward.
