Wear a balaclava, a flak vest, carry a gun, say you're an ICE agent and you can do whatever the fuck you want? Is that how it works in the USA now? That's no longer a real country and should be getting completely shunned by the civilsed world.

So what seems clear from the intel, is that we probably should have reloaded the B2s, and gone for a second round. Instead the impulsive toddler was desperate to have a strong ending to the movie and declare a cease fire. This is a show to him, entertainment, and he’s the “star”

I don’t think this ICE will stop with immigrants. They’re going to keep going after more and more people. They may create new agencies with new names, but this is the blueprint for what the future they have in store for handling people they consider problematic.

Thousands of people lined up at the Minnesota Capitol to pay tribute to slain lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. Between the caskets was an urn containing the ashes of the family’s golden retriever, Gilbert.

washingtonpost.comBeloved dog joined Minnesota lawmaker, husband as they lay in stateWhen Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were fatally shot this month, their golden retriever was grievously wounded and had to be euthanized.

If you’re not outraged at this point then there’s something seriously wrong with you. This is some evil 💩 .

I’m choked up seeing this—it’s shameful. Iranian refugees got snatched by “immigration agents” dressed like bounty hunters in West LA’s Sawtelle neighborhood. We’re really about to send them back to a country we just bombed? A regime known for jailing, torturing, and killing its own people?

Newsom: The gloves are off. Let’s go. We’re gonna call out the bullshit. And the propaganda. And the weaponization of lies and disinformation on networks like Fox…

After ICE agents entered two Diocesan churches, San Bernardino’s Bishop Rojas adamantly speaks out: “Cease these tactics immediately, in favor of an approach that respects human rights.”

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

Q: 20 years ago you were skeptical of a GOP admin that attacked a Middle East country on the idea of questionable intelligence on WMD. How is this different? TRUMP: That was somewhat pre-nuclear. It was the nuclear age but nothing like it is today *proceeds to lie about opposition to Iraq*

Any corporate executive who signs off on a bribe to Trump should be prepared to explain their crimes in front of Congress and to the public when Democrats retake power

Swalwell: You were promised lower prices on day one. How many of you are feeling those lower prices? You were promised an end to all wars on day one. How many of you have seen an end to those wars? Donald Trump is 0 for 150. He made those promises on day one—and now we’re on day 150.

What's happening to libraries in Florida should frighten everyone. Spurred on by Moms For Liberty, the AG is threatening librarians with felonies for stocking LGBTQ+ books and overruling established processes for removing "harmful" material. It's a full on censorship campaign by the government.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

America has spent 40 years letting the right convince us that mass detention and deportation are perfectly humane but taxing the richest is a war crime.
