For the past four years, I have lived as my sister’s caregiver. It’s been heartbreaking to watch her multiple sclerosis quickly take her from using a cane in 2021 to now being 100% bed-bound with a feeding tube, catheter, & ostomy. I feel like I’m watching her slowly disappear.

It shouldn’t take a slur that impacts you personally, or losing your healthcare or SNAP, or being forced to sell your farm, or having to watch a loved one get unjustly detained and deported...to walk away from a madman.
Cruelty isn’t strength.
Reject it.
Always.

Kristi Noem has told everyone that there are no U.S citizens being detained or deported & that’s a Blatant Lie like most of what comes out of her mouth. This is just a very short list of U.S. citizens that have been detained since January.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?
But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
But that's just me

There sure is a lot of missing evidence when it comes to DHS.
An interesting tidbit in the joint status report filed in the Broadview ICE facility case today:
ICE says video from inside the facility "between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed" and can't be produced in discovery.

DHS takes credit for crime being down in Chicago. Data shows that was happening before they arrived.
Immigration officials on Tuesday said a drop in crime numbers was thanks to their work. Police data show the decrease was taking place before federal agents arrived in the city.
