I actually think it's funny they used "Operation Charlotte's Web."

Demanding that Democrats win you over like a judge on a reality talent show instead of voting to stop a malignant narcissist who's a Putin compromat and child rapist that experts were warning everybody would do everything he's doing now if elected is Karen grade entitlement with extra Murc's Law.
Counterargument: the United States is regressing into a white supremacist theocracy because establishment Dems are about as good at winning friends and influencing people as...well...a spiked doormat
Owning the Shitlibs is a community sport for far leftists, real world consequences like the United States regressing into a white supremacist theocracy beholden to Putin be damned because we don't feel any of the pain ourselves.

The bigger story following the designation of four antifascist groups as SDGT’s, with the intent of FTO designation, is that a far-right grifting nazi-sympathizer living in London, who is directly responsible for people being murdered and assaulted, has influence over federal government policy now.

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants.

We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua.

Federal govt keep denying bond hearings to immigrants even though the feds keep losing habeas petitions. Their goal is to make people desperate enough that they’ll sign up for voluntary deportation, inflict pain so people leave, even if they have deep ties and good records in USA
A federal judge ruled Wednesday that the U.S. government’s mandatory detention of Diana Patricia Santillana Galeano, the day care teacher arrested at a Chicago preschool, is illegal and she must be given a bond hearing.
Judge rules mandatory detention of Chicago day care teacher by ICE is illegal
According to the ruling, Diana Santillana will be given a bond hearing in front of an immigration judge, who could order her released while her civil deportation case proceeds.

It’s funny that Harvard has been a consistent target for reactionary campaigns, and not one has been dedicated to ousting Larry Summers, an openly political figure who was friends with Jeffrey Epstein; meanwhile, it’s a fine-toothed comb for *checks notes* Black women.

Another revelation from all of these emails is that many of the richest and most powerful people in the country absolutely cannot write. Helps explain their sweaty embrace of LLMs.

Thomas Massie to CNN on the Epstein files: "This vote is gonna be on your record for longer than Trump is gonna be president. And what are you gonna do in 2028 and 2030 when you're in a debate … and they say, 'How can we trust you? You covered up for a pedophile back in 2025.'"

ICE / CBP abducted at least 5 (likely more) people in a multi-hour rampage across Berwyn, Cicero, Little Village, & Pilsen. They deployed & threatened chemical weapons numerous times, at one point reportedly tear gassing a newborn. The terror ICE / CBP unleashed today is unacceptable & needs to end.

Her husband was at Broadview one month and she was never able to talk to him. Not until he was already in Mexico. He had been in Chicago for 20 years. Her husband shared that the numbers of people there were astounding. It just makes me think how many people that are not counted/just disappeared.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Same guy who said “do something b**** before shooting.” That shouldn’t have been left out of this story.

The immigration agents' tear gas grenades clinked and then exploded against the concrete, shrouding the block in plumes of white gas. The dozen or so residents at the scene only screamed louder.
