For 66 days the Netanyahu government has blocked ALL food and aid from going into Gaza. Now we're told it plans to seize and reoccupy huge parts of Gaza, as it pushes for Trump's plan to force 2 million Palestinians to leave.

That would be ethnic cleansing by another name. We can’t stand for it.

Trump and Musk are about to give refugee status to 60 white South Africans — who do not need it — while Trump locks up and deports refugees here who face genuine dangers in other countries.

This is the sick global apartheid policy being adopted by this lawless administration.
Trump shut out refugees but is making White South Africans an exception
About 60 Afrikaners are set to be routed through Virginia next week, documents show, in a notable exception to President Donald Trump’s suspension of refugee admissions.

"Abolish ICE" and "defund the police" are both reasonable and correct on the merits but were absolutely neutered by centrists smearing them as radical activist overreach.
"ICE is a rogue federal agency operating with impunity-destabilizing families, terrorizing neighborhoods, and eroding the very principles of justice it claims to defend. What happened yesterday ... is not an accident-it is the deliberate outcome of a system sliding deeper into authoritarianism."
Providence City Councilor Justin Roias: “Yesterday, ICE tased & detained a Providence resident with a pregnant U.S. citizen wife & a green card interview that same day.”

I haven’t read the article, but do MAGA people really have a monopoly on being buff now? Is it normal to call a buff body a “MAGA body”. Do these people look good enough for such an honor

Trump ready to ‘move on’ from Ukraine peace talks if no progress, Rubio says

When you see innocent people being sent to a hell hole concentration camp in El Salvador, you are horrified.

But the thing that most people in the USA still don't want to reckon with, is that *more than half* of the white people in the USA see the same exact images, *and like it*.

They love it.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

🚨A U.S. born citizen was arrested in Florida for entering the state as an “unauthorized alien.” His mother and a community advocate showed his birth certificate during a hearing in Leon County. The judge said she had no authority to release him.

The Supreme Court ordered this administration to facilitate Kilmar’s release.

Marylanders and people all across the nation are calling on the President to bring him home.

I've been in El Salvador all day fighting for the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

The Trump Administration can lie all they want, but the Court said they failed to show he was part of MS-13. This is about bringing home a man they ADMIT should never have been abducted. I won't rest until then.

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family.

I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

So some people are plainclothes ICE agents interrogating small children, other people are random sociopaths impersonating ICE agents but everyone is supposed to know the difference, surely this won’t get even worse
