DHS claims the car being chased rammed the ICE vehicle. The video shows the opposite.
📌 A father and son, a US citizen, are chased. The teen is beaten and seriously injured. The father is deported.
DHS lied. The video tells the truth. Excellent reporting by Antonia Hylton.

Honestly. There is no easy fix to <waves in GenX> alla this. But a starting place could be to address the CRIME of Citizens United. Corporations are NOT people. Money is NOT speech. And the place we're in right now? Owes a LOT to those two things being perverted by Citizens United.

This new whistleblower report is on par with the Zelensky call - not just because it’s violative of law - but because they also tried to keep people from seeing it. I’ve been doing this for a long time and this is absolutely explosive news. Impeachable and criminal. Swift accountability must follow.

Republicans only care about “following the rules” when they can weaponize them. But the second it cuts both ways, they go mute.
Pam Bondi and the DOJ have failed to comply with the subpoena and discharge petition — and y’all have nothing but excuses for them.

I am so unbelievably tired of people from outside the US asking why Americans don’t do something about all the shit that’s going on.
We are trying. Many of us are protesting, contacting our representatives, donating to nonprofits/candidates, and sharing resources.
I don’t know what else to do.

We all have a right to be angry at GOP voters -- that almost goes without saying. But I still maintain a special reserve of vitriol for people who can't be bothered to vote at all. They, by themselves, could have prevented this. They, by themselves, can stop this whenever they want to.
