Imagine escaping the literal Nazis, making it to America, living three quarters of a century there making your life, and then this:
79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.
He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

Ahead of UN vote, Netanyahu vows to oppose attempts to establish a Palestinian state.
If any Palestinian says they oppose a Jewish state they’re called antisemitic & genocidal.
Nuclear armed & ICC charged war criminal Netanyahu loudly declares he will block a Palestinian state & he’s celebrated.😐

The U.S. bishops defended migrant families. Tom Homan snapped. Nan Hayworth called Pope Leo a “tool of our enemies.” Tim Burchett accused the church of getting rich off of sex trafficking.
Matt Walsh, Lara Logan, and the rest joined in. This is what MAGA anti-Catholicism looks like.

“Pope Leo Is a Tool of Our Enemies”: Homan Leads MAGA Attacks as Hayworth, Others Pile On
It’s the latest MAGA attack on Pope Leo’s pro-immigrant stance. Disgraced border chief Tom Homan — caught taking a $50,000 bribe in a Cava takeout bag — led the charge against Leo and the bishops.

CORRECTION: They dissolved *some* of the Washington Post journalist's body in acid.
The *rest* they barbecued on a grill until it was incinerated.
I know because I wrote a chapter on it in Proof of Conspiracy (Macmillan).
Trump thereafter bragged about "saving MBS's ass."
These are all monsters.

I’ve got an idea…
If those 8 Republicans want to sue the DOJ for legally monitoring their phones...claiming “there was no justification”...then prove it.
Authorize the release of everything the DOJ obtained.
Let’s see how “clean” they really are.

Note: The pastor being thrown to the ground and arrested here while protesting outside an ICE facility here — who police single out — appears to be Rev. Michael Woolf, a Baptist pastor (he’s ordained by both American Baptist Churches USA and Alliance of Baptists).
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.
