Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Crafty people! What would be the most economical way to personalize some of the aluminum solo cups for a Christmas event? Vinyl labels? Baked on paint pens? (I am cricut-less)

Teacher rant: in HS ELA (11th grade on a community college campus where their next class may well be English 111 not English 12), I want to focus on writing and thoughtful analysis. Instead, I’m asked for data trackers from multiple guess assessments.

I have got to stop looking at comment sections. Charlotte is a blue city and is fighting the good fight but soooo many red hats live in surrounding areas and they are loud and proud keyboard warriors .

Today was Day Two of Customs and Border Patrol’s Charlotte Operation. Members of our Safe to Work community patrols hit the streets early this morning and observed federal agents preparing to spend their day questioning grocery shoppers.

I’m a teacher looking for a career change. Are there any paralegals or medical coders out here in Blue Sky? What do you love/hate about your job? Do you feel like you make enough to survive in this economy on a single income?

Growing up in the south, I can think of several churches who did the lawn displays w white crosses for abortion statistics.

I’d love to see a church do the same or similar for the number of kidnapped people by ICE.

Rape is the distillation of the far-right worldview that Trump embodies: a gleefully sadistic act of domination carried out as fulfillment of a supposedly natural hierarchy. It would be weird if Trump wasn’t a rapist, given his ideological commitments—which is before you get to all the accusations.
i mean c’mon. the president’s best friend was the most notorious pedo in the country’s history who ran a massive child trafficking ring. every bit of circumstantial evidence we have says that trump was a participant. if this were a criminal trial we’d have enough evidence to compel a plea deal.

I heard from a bunch of federal employees last night and this morning. They aren't happy.

The federal workforce was shut down and shut out of our work for no reason at all.

Workers endured fear & hardships in hopes healthcare could remain affordable.

Hard choices and serious consequences befell federal workers and their loved ones.

A month and a half of suffering, to get nothing.
Shut us down for good reason.

Open back up without any of those reasons having been fixed.

You want us to have confidence in you?

You want us to think YOU can lead US?

Don’t get me wrong, it’s good to have a chance to be back.. but our pain produced nothing in return.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week

Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
so currently defectors are:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)
