This is what a real newspaper looks like. Read and learn
Top two articles are about ICE abducting a 5 year old and a 2 year old.

Below that, news about a historically large protest and general strike.

Then articles detailing how ICE lies about their actions and how the White House makes/publishes fake images about the anti-ICE protests.

I had hoped decency would win in 2024. How wrong I was - hate, misogyny, and racism were the winners. I am ashamed and embarrassed by what our country has become.

All liars and scumbags
They used the damn kid as BAIT
ICE spokesperson Marcos Charles: "My officers stayed with the child. They cared for him. Took him to get something to eat from a drive-thru restaurant and spent hours ensuring he was taken care of. Again, my officers did that, not his father ... his family refused to open the door and take him back"

Where are democrat leaders? They expect that protesters in Minneapolis and elswhere remain peaceful and don't "take the bait". But that is not going to stop this madness.
There should be busloads of House and Senate headed to front lines

Bessent pushes Albertan independence from Canada: "Albertans are very independent people. There's a rumor they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not. People are talking. People want sovereignty. They want what the US has got."

Done with this guy
If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power
To quote one source:
“They’re terrified of being labeled anti–law enforcement. They want this to go away so they can talk about the cost of living more. Problem is, it’s not going away.”

Do it Europe. Dont come
www.politico.com/news/magazin... #ProudBlue. European countries boycotting the World Cup games may be a reality if Trump keeps escalating tensions and threats against Europe. Without Europe the Cup games in the US will be a bust. Trump will feel the pain. Should Europe boycott US World Cup games?

She called out Hitler and the Nazis from the very beginning from inside Germany and got kicked out because Hitler considered her a personal threat early on

She became even more famous as a journalist then actually heckled a Nazi rally in New York like a true hero

I really wish senate dems understood what's coming: ICE will be at every voting booth this November under the guise of "voter protection" in order to intimidate black & brown voters into staying home. They shouldn't vote for one more cent going to fund DHS & ICE. You can't reform this.

It’s hard to accurately describe what is happening in Minneapolis without sounding crazy.

Unmarked rental vans all over the city, with people in military gear and no id jumping out of them to take captive anyone who looks nonwhite or who makes political speech they disagree with.

If you vote for one fucking dollar more for this you will get what you deserve; vilified, primaried, voted out

AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming and everyone is pretending this is normal.
