An arsonist hit a Mississippi synagogue Saturday. Seven Torahs were damaged or destroyed in the fire.
One Torah, from the Holocaust, was in a glass case and wasn't touched.
The same synagogue was bombed by the KKK in 1967.

Mass deportation IS mass violence. Some of y'all need to reckon with the fact that your MAGA relatives coming over for Easter voted for and are cheering for your death.
The Trump crime family needs a secret police force to carry out their mass deportation goals. This authoritarian agenda requires violence, and they’re deliberately recruiting sadists who enjoy hurting people. And this is still the beginning. It’s headed to a dark place.
This is exactly right.
They haven't settled for dim brutes who blindly follow orders regardless of the law. That's what they want. That's what they got. There's no reforming or improving it now.
Democrats need to investigate, defund, and ultimately disband the president's brownshirt brigade.

I've been waiting for this video. Watch Vance and Rubio. One mirrors Trump and the other tries not to grimace through it.
Trump is clearly not well.
At a meeting with oil industry CEO’s Trump suddenly interrupts his introductory remarks, gets up and looks out the window and starts talking about his ballroom. Trump then realizes his mistake and says “unusual time to look”, and sits back down to continue.

A lot of Trump's success is from people that believe authoritarianism is OK as long as 1) people they don't like get hurt and 2) the dictator will somehow only do what they want. Real "He's an asshole but he's my asshole" logic. Trump voters know who he is and they don't care.
This. What pushed me over the edge was arguing with my friends sister who thinks Trump doing mass deportations is a good thing. MIND YOU HER WHOLE FAMILY CAME HERE WITHOUT FUCKING PAPERS!
Only reason literally *anyone* who is not a white male was *ever* able to walk around America & the greater white world without looking over their shoulders is because of Black Americans
Since then it's largely been betrayal by everyone else & now civil rights are being eroded

For the last few months, I kept a document where every time I saw reports of fed immigration agents shooting or pointing their gun at someone, I made a note. The list grew and grew. It now includes 4 deaths. Here is what I noticed keeping that list.

Jan 6th was an attack on multiracial democracy but it was also a White Lives Matter riot. Many of the rioters were mad about the Black Lives Matter movement and felt police/govt were too lenient. They went to the Capitol to remind everyone that white (men's) violence is the only legitimate kind.

I think one of the reasons Trump is doing this is because he wants his "We got 'em" moment a la Obama and Bin Laden.

Addendum to a previous post from someone I trust. It wasn't a random station. But the idea that he's calling his billionaire buddies to brag/inform/make things up about national security issues in a public or private forum is still jaw-dropping.
Though far from the most important detail, Trump didn't spill the details of an alleged strike on some random podcast, as others have said—he was talking to billionaire John Catsimatidis, owner of the radio station, who's extremely well-connected in NY politics. Trump personally called him to chat.
Trump says US bombed alleged drug facility in Venezuela. No one knows if it’s true.
It could be a lie from social media, or a conflation of other stories. Either way, Americans need to know.
