Maher Tarabishi was detained in October during a scheduled check-in at an ICE facility. He was the primary caretaker of his son, who died last week. The family is seeking Maher's release so he can attend his son's funeral. ICE reportedly denied the request. Unimaginable cruelty.

An apology is insufficient. Everyone email foxfeedback@foxnews.com and tell them Kilmeade must be fired immediately. #GoodTrouble

“I apologize for that extremely callous remark” Fox’s Brian Kilmeade apologizes for saying “just kill them” with “involuntary lethal injection” re: mentally ill homeless people

What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority? ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles /

Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. has called off nearly $500 million in grants and contracts aimed at advancing mRNA vaccine development. This technology, first deployed during the Covid19 pandemic, allows vaccines to be produced rapidly and adapted as viruses evolve. His brain worms are getting worse!

16 years ago today Congress raised the minimum wage to $7.25. And as corporate profits have skyrocketed, executive pay has exploded, & the cost of living has soared—the min wage is still $7.25. Here are 6 truths everyone should know about our corrupt wage system. www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-crimin...

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

The fact that the President of the United States posts a fake video of a kneeling Barack Obama being handcuffed and we’re supposed to pretend it’s perfectly normal, everyday stuff shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Reports that a Canadian citizen who has resided in the US since age 10 was abducted at a green card interview. Her husband is begging ICE to let him fly her back to Canada and they refuse to release her.

The official White House rapid response account is just blatant lying. No taxes on Social Security is not in the bill.

I just used Five Calls to make another call to my senators asking them to vote *No on the reconciliation bill and telling them why they should vote no. I was disappointed in the total number of calls that was recorded at the end. Please everyone make your call. It is easy and so important!!💙🇺🇸

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Ruiz: Why did the report include citations that don’t exist? RFK JR: All of the foundational assertions in that report are accurate Ruiz: How can they be accurate if they did not exist?

Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported. The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us. Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending? Not justice, it’s a betrayal.

“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing. Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle. Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop. (1 of 2)

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

So it’s just going to be every cops everywhere now that uses excessive force upon people and violates their constitutional rights. This is Charleston, SC and they did this for all of 10 people just exercising their first amendment.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

With the $45 million being spent on the president's parade here’s what that money could do for veterans instead: House 3k veterans for an entire year in transitional housing Provide full PTSD treatment for 3.75k veterans for a year Deliver job training to 9k veterans through 12-week programs

FBI agents “incentivized” to zip tie little kids, help to deport babies in the middle of cancer treatment, & ripping mothers away from her kids. It’s absolutely abhorrent and inhumane. Fvkk the FBI, ICE, or any other agency playing games with people’s lives. #ProudBlue #OneV1

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

Boyle: "Out from CBO, just tonight, are the distributional effects of this bill. And what does it show? The bottom 10 percent of Americans will actually be poorer as a result of this bill with the biggest benefit going to the top 1 percent."
