BREAKING: DHS waives dozens of laws to rush border wall construction through Big Bend State Park.
They want to rob this iconic western landscape from all of us, locking away our fishing holes & campsites behind concrete and steel. It's a grotesque act of political vandalism.

They are not letting up. Keep all pressure on.
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Shorebirds are my life here in the SF Bay Area. I live .5 miles from the Bay and go almost everyday with my dogs.

🚨ICE was teargassing a PRE-SCHOOL! 🚨
We should not have to live like this in the USA! One baby quit breathing after tear gas was thrown into the family’s car. You can stop this assault on the people and our rights!

Its a series of events
you gave Trump money to give to Israel to kill innocent people.
and now the Trump administration uses the same tactics that worked for Netanyahu in the US.
and he's coming for everything we own

How you know the baguette REALLY sucks.
I saw these two parakeets grab some bread on the ground today and fly up into the tree so I sat and watched them eating while I was hitting the shutter button on my camera. #parakeets #birds #barcelona #photography

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.

My friends and fellow folks living in the US, if this is not the time for a general strike, I don’t know when it is.
we need to shut everything down until we deal with this. the faa doesn’t matter if feds can do whatever they want. the fcc doesn’t matter, darpa doesn’t matter. all that shit takes a backseat to reestablishing the rule of law in america. it has to, if we want it to exist in 3 years

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

I don't know, Heritage Foundation-tied publication, maybe white liberal women are mad because a federal immigration official shot and killed one of them. And then called her a "bitch"? You know, on camera? www.dailysignal.com/2026/01/27/w...
