Mark Peterson’s black-and-white images of ICE agents evoke film noir and the urban-crime photography of the 1930s and ’40s. “If someone is doing everything right, and then they still get detained, it’s a crime scene,” he said.

Texas forbids law that keeps guns away from unhinged people
Despite recent massacres in the state, GOP leaders ban a proven tool to help stop them.

I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. My gas mask paid for itself within the first minute the ice agents came out of the building. They escalated to this immediately, like it was a war zone- flash bombs, various gasses…

This statement is nothing but a bunch of wimpy-ass BS. Before anything else we need to stop Isra el's genocide against the Palestinians. Israel is a racist, terrorist, organization and we need to stop supporting them in any way!

The American people are also tired of impotent Congressmen making weak statements and then acting like it is business as usual. We are here after years of Republican malfeasance and the inability or unwillingness of the Democratic party to do anything about it.

Senator: first, please use alt-txt with your statements.
Senator, he didn’t take steps to drag us into war: he has actually dragged us into war.
This is not a hypothetical. It has happened.
The question, then, is what will you & your republican friends do to drag us out & hold him accountable?

Impeach him! And, if you can't do that because the GOP refuses to touch this President, at the very least, Dems need to shut down the Senate and do not pass ANYTHING unless the GOP agrees to Impeach Trump!

Federal regulators are proposing to repeal Obama- and Biden-era regulations that forced power plants to cut harmful pollutants, including mercury, lead and arsenic, as well as greenhouse gases. “Let’s celebrate coal again,” said one Republican at the press conference.
