I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

We hadn’t won World War II by May 8th. I know because my family and I were still in an internment camp in Tule Lake, California.

Interesting that if you shop at Whole Foods, a lot of money is spent making it feel like a place that respects workers and embraces progressive values, but it is not.
Costco just feels like a warehouse but they treat their workers pretty well and has rejected anti-DEI BS

Being seen as a loser is what Trump fears this most. The “loser” label undermines his status as an authoritarian figure, making it impossible to uphold his image as a “strict father” conservative.

In case you were wondering, “why Greenland?”.
Why are tech billionaires plotting to build a new city on Greenland? The answer is weirder and scarier than you think.
And — for some strange reason — the mainstream press just won't talk about it.

Happy to see Trump’s fundamentally worthless social media company has lost 57% of its stock market value since he became president. He’s beating his co-president Musk, whose Tesla stock has only lost 45% of its value the last three months.
