NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

It’s still hard to grasp that there aren’t 4 GOP Reps (who will otherwise be forgotten forever after retiring & likely defeated next year anyway) aren’t interested in going down in history as all-time 🇺🇸 heroes by caucusing with the Dems & giving them the majority to impeach Trump & save the Republic
Democrats should hold a press conference and announce that if Mike Johnson has no interest in running the House they'd be happy to do it for him
Mike Johnson has dissolved Congress. Why?

I know it’s a bit cringe as a meme but genuinely all this stuff has me thinking like “damn ok now I truly understand why the colonists in 1776 were so mad about redcoats occupying their streets”. Just having a bunch of aggressive stupid strangers running around causing trouble with no consequences

"Creating more bed space in New York City would allow ICE to expand its ability to hold detainees in the city before moving them to the regional airports it uses to fly detainees in the Northeast to other facilities.
Fort Wadsworth could make for a convenient location."

For two months, the U.S. government has been racial profiling as masked federal agents hunted for immigrants throughout Chicago. They’ve repeatedly snatched up U.S. citizens while traumatizing communities. “I felt like a piece of trash.” Here is our story www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...

This post would be wild coming from a blue checkmark bot. Crazy from the feds. There’s essentially no truth here. Violent rioters aren’t demanding the release of some of the worst humans on the planet. Govt records show most of these folks detained are low public safety risks.

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

So many vulnerable people were hurt, harassed and raped by these ghouls and now—I’m worried—it’s gonna become hehe haha lurid internet circus instead of a long overdue moral reckoning. I’m scared of who we all are becoming. That man has brought us ALL low.

"If Norman Rockwell were alive today, he would be devastated to see that not only does the problem Ruby Bridges confronted 65 years ago still plague us as a society, but that his own work has been marshalled for the cause of persecution toward immigrant communities and people of color."
The family of Norman Rockwell says that the artist would be "devastated" that his work appeared in social media posts from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and "for the cause of persecution toward immigrant communities and people of color."
