Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: “Somali Americans are Americans. They make Minneapolis a better place and we’re proud to have these Americans in our city.
So, you wanna use the term “garbage”, that’s exactly what Trump is doing right now to the Constitution of the United States.”

Well done Mayor!!!

A day after it was reported Pete Hegseth ordered the murder of two men clinging to the wreckage of a boat that was already bombed by US forces

Trump threatened to blow up commercial airline flights into and out of Venezuela. This is what terrorists do

So this must mean that Kash Patel is going to tell Trump he has to revoke his pardons for the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers and reinstate their convictions for sedition in connection with January 6, right
Patel on J6 arrest: "When you attack American citizens, when you attack our institutions of legislation, when you attack our nation's Capitol, you attack the very being of our way of life."

Koh: I think what we are seeing is what the founding fathers feared the most, which is the collapse of our checks and balances. The Supreme court is supposed to be a co-equal branch of government. It's basically a mouthpiece for Donald Trump at this point.

The Supreme Court paved the way for a felon to return to the presidency — where, behind the shield of office, that felon has ordered a string of murders.
The boat was split in half. 9 men were dead. 2 more clung to a floating piece of wreckage and tried desperately to flip it over for 41 minutes straight. There was no possible way they were going anywhere.

Then they were killed in cold blood by the U.S. military.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

The embodiment of evil
Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.
