ICE is making our communities more dangerous. They aren't targeting criminals; they are locking up peaceful immigrants who are here legally. They are in our cities to create confrontation and chaos - not to keep us safe.

Chris Murphy: "Let's talk about what's at stake here. The president is spending every single day thinking about invading Greenland, managing the Venezuelan economy, building a ballroom. He's not thinking about the American people at all."
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

Apparently the US government can kill people on the high seas, in other lands and on its own streetsโ€”and nothing will be done to stop it. The US is now a gangster state at home and a rogue state abroad, writes dag

Masses are now marching through Tehran. Preliminary reports indicate the Iranian Tax Administration building is on fire.

Across multiple cities, disturbing updates are pouring in, wounded and killed numbers are rising fast. The regime is throwing everything it has at suppressing the uprising.

Trump: "I'm a fan of Denmark too. They've been very nice to me. But the fact that they had a boat land there [Greenland] 500 years ago doesn't mean they own the land. I'm sure we had lots of boats go there also."

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred.

The USDA just cut off ag aid to MN
Theyโ€™re targeting and invading Minnesota. Cutting off all of our federal funding and flooding our state with federal agents with no purpose. Theyโ€™re here to terrorize, cause chaos to justify their unlawful cruelty. Enough.
Federal immigration officers are pulling out of a Louisiana crackdown and heading to Minneapolis in an abrupt pivot from an operation that drew protests around New Orleans and aimed to make thousands of arrests, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.
