Horrific. As a nurse practitioner, I am glad the nurse said something at the end, but too little too late. Anyone presenting in this state should have had a medical examination. Looking at his unilateral paralysis (arm) upon entry to the jail it was obvious to me that it was a stroke.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

if I were physically in the United States and not a citizen I would probably go ahead and factory reset any phone that had CBP One on it

NBC News @nbcnews.com · Mar 12

Under the Biden administration, the CBP One app allowed migrants to apply to enter the U.S. legally as asylum-seekers.

Now relaunched as the CBP Home app, the mobile application has "a self-deportation reporting feature," the Department of Homeland Security announced Monday.

The Trump regime will arrest you in the middle of the night because you spoke your mind.

And federal agents in plain clothes who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it.

If you think I'm being hyperbolic, watch this clip.

This is further evidence of Hegseth potentially endangering the lives of American soldiers. The appropriate response from the US government would be to open a counterintelligence investigation and possibly a criminal one www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...
