We all just want to live in a polite society, where we respect and help one another. We are getting the opposite of that from this administration. They have made this country brutish, violent, and selfish. It shouldn't be that way in a civilized nation.

it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke

The fact that military officials can’t give the President of the United States an honest assessment of the war in Iran—and have to placate him by showing him videos of stuff blowing up—should be concerning to everyone.

To be clear, ICE agents are still being paid. TSA agents are not. A gut punch for these folks who have to work under this reality. 📌 Senate Dems tried 7 times to pass standalone funding bills specifically for TSA pay and operations during the partial DHS shutdown. Republicans blocked each attempt.

So I guess we are in this war until his bones are no more. This should be the reason his voters turn against him. It won’t, though.

BREAKING: Trump deploys a Marine Expeditionary Unit to Iran. About 2,500 Marines, armored infantry, artillery, and an amphibious assault ship are moving into a war already spiraling. If this isn’t pre-staging for boots on the ground, what is? And the way Jen Psaki is dragging Trump for filth 🔥

When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.

Read the letters referenced by Rep. James Walkinshaw here:

propublica.org“I Have Been Here Too Long”: Read Letters from the Children Detained at ICE’s Dilley FacilityHundreds of children are currently being held with their parents at an immigration detention center in Dilley, Texas. In letters and drawings, eight kids convey the pain of feeling trapped with no end...

That Ring “search party” ad was unsubtle enough that even my 10yo watched it and was like “are they gonna use this for ICE?”

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

This is me coming out as a Heated Rivalry stan. Sometimes you just need a distraction from the dumpster fire of American politics and all that comes with it.

just saw this on my fb feed... which seems... accurate? or my doomscroll for the past 2 months has really been heated rivarlyscroll. Feels like @karenho.bsky.social would agree.

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners. Decide. Who are you?

I shared this video the other day. Tonight @maddow had this lawyer on her show. People are being tortured at Trump's detention camps Including children deprived of medical care. PUTRID WATER BUGS IN FOOD Call your Senators & DEMAND they stop funding DHS! 202-224-3121 Do Not Fund ICE terrorism.

The Pretti family’s heartbreaking request to all of us: get the truth out about our son. Alex was an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA whose last act was to protect the woman next to him. We will not let this Administration spread lies.

Julie J reposted

I cannot explain how this moved me. Here is a person who honored our veterans every day. He understood the US Constitution. From all accounts, he lived a life of honor. He died trying to protect a person being lawlessly attacked by the the Ice Gestapo. Anyone with the DHS should be ashamed of this

Pam Bondi is holding Minnesota hostage with threats of more executions by ICE terrorists unless the state hands over voter rolls so Trump and Elon and Putin can cheat in all future elections.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin. This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

How do you watch this and not wonder if the U.S. President is a Russian asset?

Joe Walsh@walshfreedom.bsky.social

Yep. Trump works for Putin. And Putin is smiling. Because Trump is doing exactly what Putin wants him to do.

They're investigating the victim's wife, the victim's friends, the mayor and the governor too, but no, they're not even going to glance in the direction of the murderer.

BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good? BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

A woman in her car was shot 3 times in the face. I’m pretty sure the majority of Americans “who reviewed it” think it’s worthy of investigating.

Arlit Maria Martinez is a mother of 4. Her son, Kevin, died of cancer while she was in ICE custody. ICE refused her request to be at Kevin's side in his final moments. They must let her attend Kevin’s memorial. Arlit, I hope you hear how many patriots stand with you.

$1.5T for the military budget $170B for ICE and Border Patrol $1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet $470M to send National Guard into cities $230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation" $200M for Kristi Noem's jets $100M for Trump's golf outings But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

The NY Times concludes that the ICE agent who shot Renee Good was NOT hit by her car “the visual evidence shows no indication that..Jonathan Ross, had been run over..It also establishes-millisecond by millisecond-how Mr. Ross put himself in a dangerous position near her vehicle in the first place”

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

They’re escalating. Not sure what it’s going to take for folks to understand we are mirroring the past, the difference is it’s us—the US, and the targets are everyone that isn’t a white man. Trump’s Gestapo has now blocked of an entire neighborhood and is going door to door in St. Paul, MN. F ICE

Julie J reposted

I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks. IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against

AUCHINCLOSS: What you're saying is that if you get pulled over and the officer grabs your door and attempts to pry it open and is filming you, and your car moves forward away from the officer, your family would be okay if you then got shot in the face 3 times? DOOCY: No A: You're victim blaming
