It’s entirely legal to record LE officers from your car. So they’re brazenly, illegally terrorizing this woman for exercising her constitutional rights. Yet we know that none of these officers be held accountable. We know this administration encourages this behavior. This is police state stuff.

The Trump regime's position seems to be that Republicans have the right to bear arms and everyone else has the right to get shot by them.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

ICE deportation to India, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. 45 tortuous hours in shackles. And this followed an Alexandria LA to Baltimore and back aborted attempt the day before. Horrible.

UPDATE: The ICE Deportation flight (OAE3747) landed in Laos then Vietnam after stops in Cambodia, Sri Lanka, and India. The journey has lasted roughly 45 hours, with people shackled throughout stops and layovers.

A U.S. citizen and student was violently detained by ICE near the school in Chicago They want community members too afraid to resist out of fear that they might be next. As ICE occupations worsen, communities have proven to be a lynchpin to resisting ICE. We must build up community solidarity.

Ah, yes, the corruption. Good thing our tax dollars are being spent so wisely by Republicans, those stalwarts of fiscal responsibility.

Last week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a $20 billion package to rescue the Argentinian economy. Too bad that it's basically a gift for one hedge fund manager with ties to Bessent himself.

Trump says Gaza will be governed 'under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee' which will be 'chaired by Donald J. Trump.' Trump has said he wants Gaza to be the "The Riviera of the Middle East."

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher. Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

So just to be clear: The US is propping up Argentina’s economy, and now Argentina can eliminate its export taxes, so it can sell tons of soybeans to China, so China isn’t forced to buy soybeans from the US, so the US can pay subsidies to keep our farmers solvent. www.reuters.com/world/china/...

Did Trump’s DOJ shut down this bribery investigation? Was it Attorney General Bondi or FBI Director Patel? The act was caught on camera. The administration must turn over the tapes to Congress. Every decision made by Homan must be scrutinized for possible corruption.

I call on media to REFUSE the framing pushed by right wing chaos agents like Cernovitch & Rufo on this act of what appears to be political violence. The Democratic former Speaker of the Minnesota House was assasinated along with/her husband. The killers was hunting Dems. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Trump's own VP warned the country in 2016 that Trump was a serial sexual assaulter and asked "What percentage of the American public has Donald Trump sexually assaulted?"

ATTN: If you’re one of the 1,000 FBI agents who reviewed the Epstein files, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

A huge tax break snuck into Trump & the GOP's big ugly bill would allow private jet owners to write off the full cost of their planes in the first year of purchase. Meanwhile, the law will cause millions to lose food assistance and healthcare. "Party of the working class."

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it. They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory. Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human. Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
