“Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…”
Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

The public reaction to the MLK files has been intense—but brief. In the age of viral distraction, the Trump administration understands that headlines, not substance, shape public memory. But Bernice King’s comment—has proven stickier than most, generating hashtag #NowDoTheEpsteinFiles.
Trump Just Unsealed MLK’s FBI Files—But Why Now?
MLK’s files are out. Epstein’s still aren’t. Why now? ? The answer may have more to do with Trump and Epstein than King.

The orange felon actually said that he told our enemy Iran that it was okay to strike the US military base in Qatar at 1 o’clock.
How is this not treasonous? Congress is completely dead.

It’s time to open the books. An investigation needs to be opened into just how much has been spent on the deportations, the detainments, the unknown Stasi. The hotels, per diems. I want to know how much of taxpayer money has been spent to date. How they’re being paid, how much they’re being paid.

Someone needs to ask Donald Trump if the ceasefire is in the room with us right now because beyond his pathetic, wishcasting posts on Truth Social there appears to be no evidence of it actually being a thing

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.

Here is the dirty secret no one is speaking out loud: Trump does not believe that bombing the hell out of Iran is going to send Iran back to the negotiation table, nor has anyone in his inner circle suggested to him that outcome.
He fully knows he has entered America into a war.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced Tuesday that she signed an executive order seeking greater transparency from federal immigration officials. She said the city will submit regular Freedom of Information Act requests to find out who ICE is detaining and on what grounds.

I notice people calling what we’re seeing these last couple of days “riots.” I was here during the 1992 Los Angeles riots. That’s not what this is.
Local police can handle this, but ICE needs to back off—especially with these amateur hires who don’t know what the f*ck they’re doing.

The average Republican in Congress is a millionaire, funded by billionaires.
25% of American households have a net worth less than $27k.
Just in case you were surprised that their budget attacks the working class to give more handouts to rich people like them.
