NEW REPORT from ProPublica finds that Fox News manufactured riots fit for air, using old footage or footage that was not of Portland, for months leading up to September.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

Trump’s ICE goons dragged a childcare worker out of a bilingual daycare and preschool in front of children and parents.

This is who Trump claims is the “worst of the worst” — a woman who has dedicated her life to educating and caring for children.

The cruelty is the point.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC

I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.

I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

Illinois law requires all registered vehicles to display front and back license plates, without exception. But to evade accountability, masked federal immigration agents are driving around in unmarked cars without plates.

The vile sexual predator Donald Trump and his enablers, like [alleged] alcoholic and [alleged] rapist Pete Hegseth, used our nation's Air Force to distract from Jeffrey Epstein's accusers. This underscores how threatened they are by the truth.

A dramatic, extremely worrying moment; over 61,000 people held in ICE detention. That is the highest number ever on record in United States history; roughly 6,000 higher than the previous record set under Trump six years ago, and over 21,000 higher than when Trump took office just seven months ago.
ICE just released updated detention statistics.

As of August 24, ICE is holding 61,226 people at authorized facilities around the United States and its Territories.
