Abolish ICE
"Three US citizen children from two different families were deported with their mothers by ICE Friday morning. One of them is a 4-year-old with Stage 4 cancer who was deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors" www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
Three U.S. citizens, ages 2, 4 and 7, swiftly deported from Louisiana
The cases have renewed concerns that the Trump administration’s expedited deportations are violating the rights of both citizens and noncitizens.

If Biden, as president, had fallen asleep at the Pope’s funeral, it would have been the top story in America for days.

Trump falling asleep at the Pope’s funeral today won’t be, because our media is broken.

It’d be cool if the ppl who kicked & screamed about the phony Biden bribery story (where the FBI informant went to prison for lying) at least pretended to care about Trump blatantly selling access.

Is Hegseth more like my conservative catholic missionary grandfather with 7 kids OR Antonio Cromartie with 7+ kids?

We need to build a new opposition movement that is strong enough and durable enough to weather the attacks coming from Trump and the GOP in the years ahead.

I hope you watch, consider and share.

Yes, there are lots of negatives around the Pete Hegseth nomination -- the rampant alcoholism, the allegations of sexual assault, the hush money payment to an accuser, the total incompetence leading non-profits, and so on.

But ask yourself:

Does all that outweigh the total lack of positives?

Hegseth: Typical Trump. All bluster, very low substance… he’s an armchair tough guy. This is a guy who said that John McCain is not a war hero yet he sought his own five military deferments

Whatever a border czar is, they don't have arrest authority. Federal law enforcement officers do, pending judicial enforcement. Consultation with prosecutors is the norm for pre-planned arrests & here's the kicker: people being arrested must have actually committed a crime.

What’s the bottom line? Elon and Viv have no idea how government works, so who cares what the hell they say about it.
