Due process is the legal requirement that people be given a fair & adequate legal procedure before being punished, brutalized, or deprived of life, liberty, or property.

Either everyone has it, or no one does.

Are you OK with giving up your right to due process?

Are you OK with #IceLawlessness?

Karl Benz (German) invented the first practical automobile. Henry Ford only "mastered" it with the help of Carl Johansson (Sweden). The Wright Brothers depended on the work of Otto Lilenthal (Germany) and his published aerodynamic data. The Manhattan Project (Szilard, Bethe, etc), Moon (von Braun)..
🧵 An alternate historical novel was written by Philip Roth, THE PLOT AGAINST AMERICA. Limited series by David Simon. Stephen Miller should watch it.

This is a clear violation of the gag order!

Tricia McLaughlin is not a private individual offering commentary, she is the Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the Department of Homeland Security and an official DHS spokesperson.

Unlike Trump & Witkoff, most Americans aren’t seeking “amazing business opportunities” for US billionaires in Russia. We just want them to stop indiscriminately bombing civilians & end their barbarian war of aggression with their horde of convicts, rapists & foreign mercenaries.

No punishment is too great for a man who would drug and drive his own 6–8-year-old daughter to “pedophile ring parties.”

Sit with this: if this report is accurate, this child was horrifically abused. I wonder whether she’s been able to build any kind of life for herself.

There was a time when politicians wouldn’t dare come on news shows and lie-because the press would call them out

Now they’re becoming vehicles for MAGA to spew its dishonest nationalistic xenophobia

That’s why Larry Ellison hired Bari Weiss to run CBS

And why Ellison now wants to acquire CNN
Turner: "When you look at Biden administration & the weak immigration policies, tens of millions of illegal immigrants came across unchecked & that caused housing supply to go down & costs to go up. With secure borders & our fiscal house getting in order, this is a step toward housing affordability"

This picture highlights why the pews are emptying.

It’s hypocrisy.

You cannot deny anymore that American “Christianity” worships power and not God.

And don’t give me “he’s an imperfect vessel.”

Imperfect vessels repent and are changed by a moral epiphany.

2025 was the year of attacks on free and fair elections. But the prior four years were full of missed opportunities. Today, I wrote about the Department of Justice under Biden and Trump.

The Immigration Act of 1924 helped keep out Italian immigrants, who were considered non-white. Dino Paul Crocetti changed his name to Dean Martin for his career. Frank Sinatra refused to change his name. Here he is reminding kids what it means to be accepting of differences…and not act like Nazis.

1/5 Once upon a time, the American Dream beckoned immigrants fleeing hardship. It offered fresh starts, where grit and ingenuity built prosperity from nothing. Imagine a family arriving penniless, yet forging thriving businesses through determination.

Once again, ICE deported a American citizen when a Federal judge said not to. This Regime doesn't care anymore about what the Courts say or what we Americans say.
It's time to take action to remove these traitors to the Constitution.

Do you remember Betty Reid Soskin? She was the oldest serving National Park Ranger in the United States, we celebrated her retirement at the age of 100.

Betty Reid Soskin (1921–2025) passed away on Sunday, but she lived an extraordinary life.
