This opinion comes on the same day that the DOJ dropped ALL CHARGES against a woman shot by a Border Patrol agent 5 times, who DHS accused of ramming a car and pulling a gun on CBP agents.

It strongly suggests they couldn't prove it in court and didn't want embarrassing evidence shown publicly.

Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe.

Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

also we now have a “whites only” refugee policy. they aren’t trying to hide the white supremacy anymore. it’s overt and mainstream.

Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.

The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

Interesting to see numerous reporters now running to Dem lawmakers to get them to talk more about Trump's lawlessness. It's almost like when Dems respond forcefully to Trump, the media wakes up and takes notice. Something to learn in this!

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 1d

Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families."

Treat Trump like an unhinged menace. He's weak and in deep political trouble. Don't let up.
