The New York Times Reported: “At a Senate hearing yesterday, Kristi Noem, the Homeland Security secretary, repeatedly declined to apologize for suggesting that Renee Good and Alex Pretti were domestic terrorists”. Well, let’s be clear. Kristi is a domestic terrorist, as is Greg Bovino.

We need this type of justice in the USA again, blind to the socioeconomic status of criminals and determined to punish law breakers. I wish we would see Donald J. Trump in cuffs.

Yet another sad reminder that there is a two-tiered justice system in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else. If elites can be held accountable in other parts of the world, why can't they be held accountable in America?

Since October, federal courts have ruled more than 4,400 times that ICE is illegally jailing immigrants. Now the agency wants to spend $38B to turn warehouses across the country into detention camps. Remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies running these camps.

There was a time when the office of the President of the United States stood as a symbol of integrity. Leaders like President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama reminded the country what that standard looks like at its best.

“Please get the truth out about our son.” Read and share the statement from the parents of Alex Pretti, the VA ICU nurse who was shot and killed by border patrol.

So these out of control liars are what masquerade as law enforcement in ICE. It’s impossible to respect them. Where were they before they got this job? This is a very disturbed man, perhaps he belongs in handcuffs? He has no right to speak to people that way. None.

I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

VP Vance says Renee Nicole Good caused her own death (murder). No the murder who stuck his weapon in her face caused it. He was wrong we will get him, we will try him, hopefully we will jail him. Moreover, it is you and Mr. 34 convictions Trump who caused this. You’re a liar JD not the press, you.

Today is a day of horror and sadness. Yesterday we saw a young woman gunned down by lawless goons of the federal government. Domestic terrorists and nothing more, ICE. You shame America, you commit murder and say, “I don’t care”. We do, we will push back, what happens to the ICE goons? Fuck off ICE.

Colorado congresswoman Lauren Boebert’s Halloween; mocking immigrants and celebrating their abuse at the hands of ICE. These are vile people, traitors to our democracy and way of life. Kick them and Deranged Donald to the curb. Vote for democracy vote Democrat! Vote Trisha Calvarese!

Kat Abu says “What if we didn’t suck!” Love her! I feel fed up. America once the promise and envy of the world. Now an authoritarian country, right there with Venezuela&Belarus. President Donald Demented ignorers the law, the rubber stamp republicans sell us out. NO KINGS DAY tomorrow, PROTEST!

I’m fed up with Trump and ICE,…the cowards that hide behind masks. I saw these brutes, Natzi thugs physically tearing families apart in front of terrified children. One vile low life ICE agent threw a woman to the floor. I’m ashamed of my country today.

It’s only been 7 months and it seems like 7 years. Trump is more than selfish he is cruel. I believe he enjoys hurting people: families, children, perhaps women most of all. It’s not just his theft of billions of $$ but his gleeful destruction of millions of people’s lives. Vile creep, pathetic man.

Is it just me... but with each passing day, my disdain for anyone that voted for him grows exponentially. I didnt think I could hate them anymore especially after they tried to kill me and my coworkers on Jan 6th, man was I wrong.

I was going to say as a veteran I find this president to be the most repugnant person. I think I need to be more inclusive, as a human being I find this person to be repugnant. His unlawful behavior, his thugs and brown shirts hiding their faces. Well they are what they appear to be, terrorists.

When I hear someone say: “Don’t say gay,” I’m reminded exactly why my role matters — as an educator, a community leader, and an uncle. Because every young person deserves to know they are enough, that they are seen, and that who they are is not something to hide, but something to be proud of. 🌈

Senator Mike Lee, Utah. You are a disgrace. You shame the people you represent. Murder is not funny, do you think the children of those killed and injured appreciate you laughing at their parents death or injuries? You are a sick f..k Lee. A disgusting human being. Mike Lee must resign now!

I wonder are there Republican leaders anymore? Is anyone left that could take over from the maggots? Troops on the street of the U.S., where are you Joni Ernst, Lindsey Graham, Tom Cotton you know how wrong it is, are you leaders or just on your knees for Donnie John? Cowards one and all. Resit LA!

Donald Trump, unstable emotionally/mentally. When will it end, the ignorant small mind, the mean spirited self serving coward president. The sexual predator president. The GOP’s very own Jeffery Epstein wannabe. Donald J. Trump, the MAGA darling unfit to serve. Lock him up, deport his family.

It never ends. US Maines deployed on US streets. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson smiles his smug unpatriotic partisan smile. What makes a draft dodger president want a North Korean style military parade? Don’t get me wrong, everyone doesn’t need to serve, I had to be drafted in 69’. Crazy times.

Oh my God! Never say never, that’s Trumps motto even as Canadian PM Mark Carney tells him we’re not for sale.Trump is such a shameful embarrassment for the U.S. Why can’t Carney be our guy. Trump is a bumbling imbecile. Resist, fight insanity with sanity.

This is why I keep telling people to look at the bigger picture of what Harvard is doing. No organization worth 50 billion dollars is pure and faultless and they've made some huge mistakes, but we are fighting against fascism. This is the major threat that needs to be fought and only corps can do it

Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:

Vance try’s to force a Ukraine surrender. It’s a mockery of American values.

Rep. Jason Crow@crow.house.gov

This isn’t a deal, this is a surrender. Trump and Vance are doing Putin's bidding. Forcing an invaded country to accept a dictator's terms and threatening to walk out is hardly a negotiation. When the going gets tough, this administration folds—every single time.

So how does this work, Trump sends a man to a foreign prison even though there is a court order against doing it. The US Supreme Court says bring him home, Trump orchestrated a sham meeting in the White House the President of El Salvador says can’t release him. Republicans sit on there hands. God.

How is it this crybaby Donald Trump can spend millions of taxpayer dollars to golf and congress is incapable of stopping any of his actions. Declaring friends enemies and enemies friends. Crashing our markets and destroying our IRA’s and investments. What a looser. Stand up, Speakout, Resist!
