I don't know about you guys, but I'm waiting for JUST ONE arrest from all of the Epstein files that have just been released. Names... the disgusting things that they showed.. what are we doing here? Something needs to be investigated or something!

Los hospitales privados no son hospitales.

Las universidades privadas no son universidades.

Son sitios para ganar dinero, como un gimnasio, una pizzería o una casa de apuestas.

On the Tibetan plateau, China has installed a 16-17 GW mega solar plant that is turning an alpine desert into a “micro-oasis”: more moisture, more grass, and soils with more carbon under 64 km² of panels

If they are truly "only after dangerous criminals" ICE should not be able to lay a hand on ANYONE unless they have a warrant for that person. Random abductions of US citizens should be punishable. ICE should be held accountable for bodily injury, damage to property and loss of life.

ICE OUT NOW!

Brilliant. Spot on.
Epstein is the most garish and harrowing manifestation of this but oligarchy makes life miserable in a thousand other ways. A core point of democracy is that no one should have so much power that they can make themselves everybody's problem. We should have a political party that believes that
The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

There’s no justification for shooting someone ten times in the back.

The debate about what Alex Pretti did or didn’t do is irrelevant.

The agents committed murder.

It wasn’t a “bad shoot”. It was a killing

I get it. We don't want to discourage people from voting.

But do you really think they're going to leave just because we vote them out?

"Those elections were fraudulent, we're not swearing those people in."

We are going to have to be in Washington D.C. by the millions to take back power.

Maybe it wasn't a good idea to elect the dumbest, greediest, vindictive person in the world as President.

Don't worry, Democratic "leaders" have already pre-emptively caved on ICE so they won't be seen as obstructionists by their colleagues across the aisle. So visionary. Many backbones. Much representation. Very governancemanship.

Within half an hour of when Deputy AG Blanche told reporters that DOJ "complied with the statute...we did not protect President Trump," DOJ deleted multiple documents from the database with damning information about Trump. Among those deleted were first-person accounts of Trump raping kids.

If Americans were really serious about fighting back against corporate America, they would boycott the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, a good number of people in this country aren’t willing to make that small sacrifice and it’s sad and infuriating.

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.
This just in: "Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards," Lemon's attorney Abbe Lowell says.

Odd. I don't hear about mass shootings in the USA these days. Are all the gun wackos now hired by ICE so they don't need to satisfy themselves with mass shootings elsewhere anymore?

the federal government is arresting journalists not only without a warrant but after being explicitly denied a warrant

i wonder what our freedom of speech warriors like Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss have to say about this

This is a Kavanaugh stop.

This is what ICE does to American citizens.

ICE cannot legally arrest American citizens or cosplay law enforcement.

Watch what they did to his property.
