Who are these thugs? How old is this child? 13? 14? War on women and children. Big tough guys. So manly. 🤬
This is a goddamn nightmare.
ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement.
"I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish.
Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature.

Yeah- separating them from their parents, forcing them to eat spoiled food, keeping them from medical care...maybe trafficking them?? I'd hire this guy as a babysitter, wouldn't you?

I am so angry at this administration. I have a grandchild this she. Wtf is wrong with these people? No hearts or souls. Monsters. Damn them. Congress could end all of this peacefully. They won’t.
They kidnapped a five year old child
Here’s the report from KARE. The boy is five-year-old Liam Ramos.

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

MSM is not reporting anything other than what the WH said. Probably all is well with the dear leader, but it really is time for some sleep...perhaps my H will wake me at 5am with a bottle of champagne? But probably the nightmare will continue. Sigh. I do hope he gets booed during his speech, tough.

A picture is worth a thousand words. My stomach dropped just like this graph when I saw it. Devastating.
This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

If this is true -and who wouldn’t believe this anymore- there will be hell to pay at the end of this Terror.
Two men in ICE detention say they saw guards kill a fellow detainee. Now the Trump administration is trying to deport the witnesses.
This looks a lot like a cover-up. We need an independent investigation NOW. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

This is, in my opinion, not only the correct moral/ethical/legal position but also the correct political framing. Everyone can see the agency is out of control; everyone can see that it is constantly violating human rights. "Scrap it and start over" is the moderate position.

I find it necessary these days to affirm the obvious because the descent into fascism is mostly a continuous, not discrete, process so here it goes:
these are internal checkpoints by secret police for what is routine freedom of movement.

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.
