This is a video of ICE walking shackled and handcuffed CHILDREN out of the loading dock at DTLA at approximately 8:45pm on July 10th
This has gutted me. How can this be allowed to happen in our country?

Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino marches through Minneapolis surrounded by federal agents, shouting at American citizens.
This isn’t about deporting “the worst of the worst.” It’s about deliberately sowing fear and chaos in cities that oppose the Trump regime

Thank you for posting the 2016 story where I asked for an investigation of the Trump modeling agency and possible breaking of immigration law. Sadly, nothing happened. But in my heart, I believe the truth will eventually come out on all these troubling issues surrounding the abuse of human dignity.

Was Trump using #TrumpModeling w Epstein?
WHY IS HE SO TERRIFIED OF BECOMING PUBLIC?
IT MUST BE REALLY BAD!

i have been reading Tom Ricks’ “Fighting the Good War” which is a military analysis of the civil rights movement, and one thing that comes abundantly across is that movement leaders and ordinary people made it a practice to refuse to fall into despair and cynicism.

It’s easy to watch the news and feel overwhelmed or even helpless at everything going on. I need you to fight that feeling.
I’m an optimist. You have to be when you strap yourself to a rocket for a living. But there’s real reason to be hopeful this year and l’ll tell you why.

Yes. It’s called a race war that also purges the race traitors. There’s a reason it looks exactly like a Neo-Nazi street brawl.
We need to make this more explicit: The violence and civil collapse we're now seeing in Minnesota is by design. It's exactly what Trump and Stephen Miller want. MAGA is *all about* deliberately unleashing ethnic hatreds and violent antagonisms among Americans.

Tar and feathers and early retirement for any Democrat who wants to see the army waging war against US citizens get better training.
Democrats officially going all in on the mealy mouthed “ICE needs training” narrative.
No. ABOLISH ICE.
No. ABOLISH ICE.
WARNER: It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump's the 47th president. Tell me that's a rational approach
KERNEN: I'm not taking that bait
WARNER: Joe! You can't pick your facts

We’ve gone from “it is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital” to “the lesbians were mean to him”
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

The bloodlust we are seeing from MAGA world over the murder of Renee Good must be a wake up call for anyone who still didn't grasp how dangerous MAGA is as a movement. If you ever wondered how Germans became Nazis you are seeing it play out in real time.

My reaction to today’s Venezuela news: It’s bad enough to be a patriotic American and watch this lawless band of pedo-protecting thugs wag the dog and wreak their havoc. But if I were Taiwanese, I would be existentially terrified.

What the KENNEDY Center used to be…
Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

Sorry... why would there need to be an emergency indoor inauguration on January 20, 2029 with bulletproof glass and protections against civilian monitoring tech?
Oh, that's right. Martial law is coming. I keep forgetting.

Trump on the ballroom: "It's bigger than I told you. It's, you know -- after realizing we're gonna do the inauguration in that building, it's got all bulletproof glass, it's got all drone, they call it drone-free roof. It's dronessss -- won't touch it. It's a big beautiful safe building."
