Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Masked men — presumably loathsome secret police from ICE or CBP — beat this guy bloody before disappearing him. Father of three U.S. Marines.
“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines”

Illinois follows the law — we expect the federal government to follow the law, too.

We won't participate in abuses of power.
We won't violate court orders.
We won't ignore the Constitution.
We won't defy the Supreme Court.
We won't take away people’s right to peacefully protest.

This is heartbreaking and has to stop. These people are not criminals…
These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to.

This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented.

So ICE took her into custody.

The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil.

Maybe that is his real face
“Everyone has to make everything in the United States, or else!” he yells… as his family signs deal after deal for golf courses in other countries… and he accepts hundreds of millions in crypto bribes from unidentified foreign actors…

Found this interesting: After all those stories of people fleeing NYC during the pandemic, NYC had the largest population increase from July 1, 2023 to 2024. It gained 87,184 new people — more than twice as many as the No. 2 city, Houston.

Marco Rubio has sold his soul
An enraged Secretary of State Marco Rubio testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday. Rubio doggedly defended the Trump regime’s revocation of student visas.

Dismissing free speech entirely, the regime continues to target people for merely expressing opinions — or,…
