This is ICE harassing people in Elgin, Illinois on 12-06-2025.
The people didn’t roll over and take it.
It took 20 agents to take in one person. They’re afraid.

I'm going to need a lawyer to explain this part to me:

"The Mississippi Court of Appeals ruled in May that Marcus Taylor's sentence was illegal, but did not commute his sentence because Taylor had missed the deadline to apply for post-conviction relief."

ICE continues to assault, harass, & harm Americans. In Minneapolis, incompetent tax payer funded ICE hit a pedestrian & pepper sprayed civilians from their vehicles.

This happened after ICE decided to go up & down a street demanding to see people's IDs, caused chaos & injuries, & then left.

Again. If AI was as good as they claim, it would not be free, nor would it be shoe horned into everything for free.

Once right-wing oligarchs gain control of just about every national and local media company, social media platform, and big AI, as they are systematically doing with little notice from the general public, it will be game, set and match for the Republic.

ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.

If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

Shocking twist, there is actually some debate about whether the testosterone dose was too high. Overall the kid seems to be doing better with it than without it.
