Mayor Adams to Top Commissioners: Don’t Criticize Trump, Don’t Interfere with Immigration Enforcement
After weeks of confusing messaging on ICE raids, the mayor ordered his staff to stifle criticism of the feds and that he alone will make sure NYC doesn’t lose funding.

ok, seriously, if democrats win control of the house next year, hakeem jeffries can NOT be leader. this shit is disqualifying. he needs to be ousted from leadership, at the very least, and primaried. if chi ossé isn't the answer we need to get behind someone who is to primary this asshole. enough.
jfc, i hate this mfer. the fact that he's my actual congressional rep makes it even worse.
Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

This is constantly happening. A paramilitary force is violently enforcing second-class status for nonwhite people the United States with the support of police forces across the country. Sure, ICE must be abolished, but so must every institution that supports such brutality. & this cannot be reformed
Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

Oh wow. Imagine if Germany & the Allies *hadn’t even been at war.*
After World War II, 3 German U-boat crewmen were sentenced to death for machine-gunning Allied sailors who were clinging to life rafts after their boat was sunk.
It's long been known in the military that this is a war crime. Pete Hegseth must be fired and prosecuted.
