The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today.

This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

If the precedent gets set that the president can remove nonprofit status from anyone he disagrees with, then any Democratic president in the future that allows the ADF and heritage and megachurches to be considered nonprofits is explicitly endorsing them.

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

When everything gets overwhelming, I make a point to seek out the natural world.

The trees and mountains stand witness to the fact that every despot and petty tyrant is nothing to the grandness of it all.

It truly is healing to me.

Keep it up Canada!

One would think that any US Senator whose state borders Canada wouldn’t hesitate to join the Dems on this. What say you Sen Susan Collins, Kevin Cramer, Ron Johnson, Tom Sheehy, Dan Sullivan, Lisa Murkowski, John Hoeven, Steve Daines? Are you willing to tank your states relationships with Canada?

For years, ICE agents worked on Rikers Island in New York City and led the expulsion of thousands of undocumented immigrants, including many who were never convicted or had only minor violations. After sanctuary laws barred the agency in 2014, Mayor Eric Adams is now restoring its access.

Sanders: We look to these law firms who have hundreds of well-paid lawyers to defend the
constitution, to defend the rule of law. They were more interested in getting millions of dollars from their lobbying.. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Martha Stewart went to prison for doing far less than what Chump did too the stock market this week.

And there's no doubt a long list of his inner circle who profited as well.
