i am generally a little eye rolly about “general strike” calls, because, like, this shit is a lot more complicated than just saying the words on social media, but what’s going on in minneapolis looks — at least from the outside — like a really impressive act of solidarity

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

This absolute bullshit headline.

The memo does not 'allow' them to do it, rather it instructs them to violate the constitution.

Wtaf is wrong with the press in this country.

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed.

Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.
NEW: DHS appropriations bill funding ICE passes 220-207

7 Democrats voted YES on the bill:
- Jared Golden
- Marie Gluesenkamp Perez
- Henry Cuellar
- Tom Suozzi
- Laura Gillen
- Don Davis
- Vicente Gonzalez

One Republican voted NO: Thomas Massie

Johnson: “Did your investigation uncover evidence sufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump knew that his claim the election was stolen was false?”

Smith: “Yes it did”

If any other president had said this despicable thing, it would result in immediate retractions and clarifications, days of media speculation about his mental state, lots of international criticism, and the resignations on principle of some staffers in the White House and broader administration.

DHS hiding their ICE-should-ignore-the-4th-Amendment memo.

DOD and Hegseth hiding the perfidy and firing on shipwrecked survivors war crimes in the Caribbean.

The regime knows it's doing blatantly illegal things the American people oppose, and evidently fears public backlash.

22 January 1886 | Jewish man, Albert Eskenazi, was born in Jerusalem (then in Ottoman Empire). During the war he lived in France.

He was deported to #Auschwitz from #Drancy on 14 September 1942. He was murdered in a gas chamber after the arrival selection.

My group was able to recover a spent canister from a green smoke grenade in Minneapolis. We now confirm with physical evidence that it was a green signaling grenade.

Please don't spread rumors about hexachloroethane or nerve agents.

Affected communities and people with health conditions deserve accurate information. It is good and necessary to correct one another about these things:

After the World Trade Center was attacked (just four miles from Trump Tower), more than 40,000 Canadians in uniform fought alongside their U.S. allies in Afghanistan.

More than 2,000 Canadians were wounded.

These 158 didn't make it home.

And now this guy is giving lectures on gratitude.

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.
Senator Gallego weighs in as well. Note that at the start of 2025 he was considered a *moderate* on immigration and co-sponsored the Laken Riley Act. Him and many other Dems have been increasingly horrified at what ICE is doing and shifted away from a "more enforcement" focus.

There's no magic words to protect us. No hero to step in and save us.

We the People had an easy, open-book test. The Villains literally published their Evil Plan.

And. We. Failed.

So now we're ass deep in consequences. Oops.
