Went to school with someone famous, worked for famous people and world leaders, then almost died because of my job.

Think critically and skeptically.

To everyone in positions of power and authority;

We don't expect less because the job isn't easy.

We expect more precisely because the job is hard.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Bezos spent $40 million on this, of which $28 million was a direct gift to the Trunp family, plus another $35 million marketing blitz for a propaganda clunker absolutely nobody could have believed would recoup even a small fraction of that cost. It is a flat bribe, right out in public.
Amazon’s MGM studios spent tens of millions, but the documentary is projected to make just $1M in its first week.

As the country reeled from the murder of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday, Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club threw a party.

Guests were greeted by women in showgirl outfits and sipped champagne by the pool watching entertainers floating in giant bubbles.

Periodic reminder that ICE still isn’t going after “hardened criminals”

We would all support that.

What do we gain from yanking this father away from his wife and child? What do we gain from deporting people who have been here for 20 years and never been in legal trouble?
Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Last year, Republicans gave ICE $75 BILLION – more than most militaries across the globe – while refusing to fund your health care.

I fought it then and I’m fighting it now. I’m voting NO on DHS funding.

The only Dem senator now supporting ICE funding is married to a woman who came to the US "illegally" as an undocumented immigrant when she was seven years old.

What happened to that guy? And how does Gisele feel about all this?
I have looked up EVERY Democrat Senator's statements on DHS funding: only ONE Senate Dem is a YES vote.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

I want to go back to Marimar Martinez' request to lift protective order in her case. She was shot by CBP in October. As w/Good & Pretti, they lied to cover up shooting.

As a threshold issue, Bovino was just 1-degree of separation from all 3 shootings.

Anyone remember this?

During an "Antifa roundtable" at the WH in October, Kristi Noem stated that feds in Portland arrested the "girlfriend of one of the founders of Antifa".

Whatever happened with that INSANE LIE/fictional person? They are such incredible fucking clowns.

If you’re Dems, please coalesce around Stephen Miller not having a job anymore.
Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:

DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools

Yup. He denigrated my grandfather, and my classmates and friends. Proud Canadians. Not suckers and losers, like his supporters.
Just a reminder that it was only 4 days ago that Trump caused an international furor by denigrating the service of allied combat veterans. Think of all the chaos and mayhem since then in just 4 days. The sheer volume of it is meant to exhaust us and numb us. We mustn’t let it.

A "State of the County" speech should be about budgets and policy.

Lane County, Oregon's featured sermons, calls to surrender to Jesus, and prayers from the podium.
