Just spent a half hour scrolling on X. How does one actually clear the BS from your brain after this? It’s just … incredible? … how much misinformation lives there. Kudos to those good folks still posting there; I assume they do not check the comments on their posts for health reasons.

I feel terrible for Mr Othmane, while all too aware he is one of many illegally held Americans, green card holders, applicants for asylum, legally arrived refugees, and others victimized - key word: victimized - by this regime and its illegal activities. Media needs to use the right words.
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS!
Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store.
He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.

Enough is enough. If the Congress will not act, they must go. If the courts will not act, they must be reformed. There is still NOT ENOUGH outrage about what is happening to our neighbors.

The Congress or the Courts could have stopped this.
Remember that when We the People do so directly.
We known ICE is lawless and unredeemable. If there are U.S. Marines involved, they should recognize this as operating under illegal orders.

USAID didn’t fail. It fed 127,000 kids—then was erased mid-crisis. No speech. No tribute. Just silence. They didn’t end a program. They liquidated a covenant. The last American promise not built on conquest—but care.

If a bill is so bad that you have to exempt entire states from its consequences to win the votes you need—just don't pass the bill!
Why do people in Washington state deserve Medicaid & SNAP cuts, but others don't?
This is plain wrong, and it's just no way to legislate.

Wrong wrong wrong. This is the only way history can remember this time.
Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported.
The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us.
Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending?
Not justice, it’s a betrayal.

Exactly true.
Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

How a real President honors our heroes on Memorial Day. Thank you President Obama.
On Memorial Day, we remember the sacrifices that our men and women in uniform and their families have made to preserve our freedom. May we always strive to honor the strength and resolve they’ve shown our country.

There may well be people who believe this is natural and spontaneous. For whatever reason, I’m thinking “maybe not”.
This is how it works. You tell the kids what to do and they do it. Coming to American soon if we don’t insist on democracy every chance we get.

What is happening in this country? The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly considering a reality show where immigrants compete in challenges for a shot at U.S. citizenship. Officials claim, “This isn’t The Hunger Games for immigrants.”

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that *you* are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back?
The answer is due process.
