What's the problem with this analysis? Jews in NYC overwhelmingly picked Mamdani-endorsed candidates. Things are close to the opposite of what WSJ claims. However, if you substitute "AIPAC" in the headline for "Jews," then it is accurate.

Jaw-dropping admission by DOJ to court. DOJ admits to having repeatedly made "material mistaken" representations to judge - ICE never had authority (under 2025 Guidance) to conduct arrests at immigration courthouses! DOJ admits court "relied on...prior misrepresentations." DOJ blames ICE (page 2)

Creating a Chinese-style Police State: "NPR found five other people in Illinois, Oregon and Minnesota who...said they were arrested, seemingly without provocation, while protesting ICE and then had officers take or try to take what appeared to be a sample of their DNA." www.npr.org/2026/03/18/n...

npr.orgICE officers are taking DNA samples from protesters they've arrestedPeople arrested while protesting ICE say federal agents took samples of their DNA. It's legal, but experts say the practice raises questions about what the government is doing with that genetic data.

Killing people and destroying things “just for fun” is psychopathic behavior and even saying it is something only a psychopath would do and every U.S. news organization should be shouting that from the rooftops. Editors: Rise to the challenge of truth-telling or make room for someone who will.

Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end. She says, ‘If it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone.’ Tourism around the world is booming—but not to the US, where tourists fear being violently assaulted by Trump's thugs.

Now maybe the city and everyone involved can rethink putting the Rocky statue at the top of the PMA steps. Philly should not be elevating the statue of white man who supports an administration that tore down exhibits about the history of slavery in this city. www.inquirer.com/arts/philade...

inquirer.comMuseum reverses course, and it’s the ‘Philadelphia Museum of Art’ once againThe name change announced in October has been changed back, but some elements of the rebrand will remain.

I know most people here already know this, but CBS News is no longer a source of reliable information under the command of Bari Weiss, who will likely be fired at some point. Unfortunately this won’t happen until there is nothing at all left of the brand. It’s over for them. And that is sad.

Here’s the truth: ✅Trump lost the 2020 election. ✅Renée Good was shot in the face while turning her car to leave. ✅Alex Pretti was beaten by six ICE officers, then fatally shot. ✅The GOP is preparing to steal the midterms. The administration is denying it all. But we can't.

my expectation of democratic senators is that they find 1/10th of the bravery of your average 70 year old lutheran lady following ICE around mpls in her subaru crosstrek

Dems should introduce legislation now defunding ICE and CBP operations in Minnesota, so they have to leave the state. One sentence bill. Demand an immediate vote. Maybe refuse to vote for cloture on any funding bills (or other bills) until a vote. Make the GOP Congress break w/ Trump or own it all.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.

No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.
