It was only eight days ago that 300 federal agents descended on a Chicago apartment complex at 3:00AM on a Tuesday morning, zip tying its residents (some of them CHILDREN) and denying them the opportunity call a lawyer.
Don't let the never-ending shit-news-cycle get in your way of remembering that.

It's been a very long time since I've done any serious painting. I'm having a great time creating these. Small abstracts. Acrylic on 140 lb paper. What do you think?

I feel like media is wholly ignoring this major story.
A reminder that under the previous Trump administration there were at least 5000 documented cases of ICE and Border Patrol sexually abusing migrant children.
5000 documented cases.
It’s no wonder MAGAs are blocking the Epstein list.

This whole thing is not about immigrants. It's about the vote. If he wanted to deport dangerous, criminal, immigrants, he'd have started with the prisons. Handing DHS and ICE $178B gives them the power to have agents at every polling place in the country. It's about the vote.

Associate Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson will end up being one of the heroes of this era if ever there are historians in the future who write about the fall of the United States
She will almost never be in the majority on a major ruling, but she will have been the conscience of America

When a government starts targeting former intelligence officials, law enforcement leaders, and anyone who once investigated or criticized those in power, it’s not just a red flag, it’s a page straight from the authoritarian playbook.

It makes sense that the Republicans all caved after visiting the WH. IT WASN'T about the merch. JD Vance is Finance Chair of the RNC. I wonder who controls how much $ candidates get for their campaigns. Cross the boss and funds disappear?

There is not one Republican can call themselves Christian. Every one of them has the blood of children, veterans, elderly, and disabled in need on their hands. I hope they never sleep again. I hope every time they close their eyes, they see the faces of the people they left to die today.

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war.
If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.
