Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Adventures in framing:

Headline presenting this as a real-world question. Rather than as another sign of deepening vortex of narcissistic delusion and detachment from reality.

When Trump refused to send the National Guard on Jan 6, 2021 to stop rioters who stormed the Capitol, wounded 140 officers, and tried to block the transfer of power, he set his standard.

Anything LESS than those bloody insurrectionary riots won’t trigger Guard deployment. Right?

Exactly.

Thousands March in D.C. Against Trump’s Law Enforcement Takeover

By Juan Benn Jr. and Emma Uber

[P.S. These 2 young reporters wrote a good story. Benn is a Howard University intern. Uber was just hired on staff from her internship. Don't go postal on them!]

There is, as of right now, no coverage of this protest on the WaPo website or in their @washingtonpost.com feed.

So, if you (you reading this) want people to SEE this protest, you must share it.
People from all over are showing up for DC. This is not a moment. It’s a movement. We are united in our demands. We are all DC! #FreeDC

A couple more thoughts on this. There is exactly one crime defined in the U.S. Constitution: treason. The first definition is levying war against the United States. Trump is explicitly threatening that.

U.S. soldiers are not only permitted, they are *obliged* to refuse an order to commit treason.
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

The labor market is deteriorating!

For the first time in four years, the economy lost jobs.

Our economy is in the toilet right now and everything in the grocery store is higher priced than it was during the pandemic.

This is what losing looks like! Trump’s economy sucks!

Oh yeah, this will really help him win that Nobel Peace Prize. 🙄

Trump was a draft dodger and couldn't care less about our servicemembers, but he'll gladly puff his chest and warmonger because the consequences will never touch him.

The directive won't rename the Defense Department, which would require congressional approval, but it will make the Department of War its secondary title.

WHY are they doing this? How is this waste? Reducing health insurance availability, closing hospitals, removing health information from the web, stopping vaccine research, and ceasing the surveillance of pathogens that are found in our food supply.

You almost think they WANT us to get sick and die!
The CDC quietly scaled back a surveillance program for foodborne illnesses
As of July 1, a critical surveillance program is monitoring for only two pathogens instead of the usual eight.

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” will kick 15 million Americans off their health insurance.

But don’t worry: at least Amazon will pocket an estimated $16 billion extra this year.

More Trump Insanity. "In late June, the Houston Business Journal reported that the Smithsonian estimated the cost of moving Discovery to Texas would be between $300 and $400 million, far more than the $85 million cited by Cornyn and Cruz in Trump’s massive reconciliation and spending package."
