MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

This is un-f*cking believable. What an absolute disgrace. I have never been so ashamed of my government.
Vance: I think it's disrespectful for you to come to the Oval Office to try to litigate this in front of the American media...You should be thanking the president...

Zelenskyy: Have you ever been to Ukraine?...

Vance: I know what happens is you bring people, you bring them on a propaganda tour...

The cruelty is the point.
My heart breaks.
Trump’s Homeland Security Secretary just rescinded the Temporary Protective Status (TPS) extension for Haiti, putting 500,000 Haitians in the U.S. at risk of being sent back to conflict and crisis. It’s cruel, destabilizing, and dangerous. And no—it doesn’t lower costs for the American people.
Trump Cuts Protections for Haitians, Putting Them on Track for Deportation
The decision is the latest in President Trump’s sweeping crackdown on immigrants, including people whom the Biden administration had authorized to remain in the country.

Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds.

Are there no Republican congresspeople who can find their courage & stand up to Musk? The guy has no security clearance, no defined authority,deep ties to China, regular conversations with Putin & is dismantling programs established by Congress. We could crowd source their personal security details.
