If CBP, Customs and Border Protection, is only supposed to operate within 100 miles of the U.S. border, what are they doing leading operations in Charlotte, North Carolina?

I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.

Saw a giant American flag on the front of a house today like a banner. Could be a white nationalist dick bag, a left over from veterans day, or an immigrant family that is just really fucking happy to be here. I don’t even know what it represents anymore.

ICE is not acting as a law enforcement agency. To do that, you must follow the law. It’s been clear for a long time…they’re not.

Progressive activists in Covington, LA successfully test drove our newly acquired military field kitchen and will be ready to feed hundreds next Saturday and every Saturday thereafter until there is no longer a need.

We love our rig.

This machine feeds kids.

The president of the most powerful nation on Earth is so terrified of the tales that an imprisoned sex trafficker can tell that he plies her with a comfort puppy and custom meals and is holding out the prospect of a pardon.
