Prosecuting enemies.

Releasing allies.

Profiting off of the Oval Office.

Extrajudicial killings.

Illegal acts.

Ignoring the Constitution.

Detaining Americans without cause.

Sending the military into American cities.

Whoever came up with the slogan #NoKings was a f*cking prophet.

Fight back!

This video of the "ICE" agent [?] with no ID, who thinks claiming to be in the DHS means he's allowed to drive his kids around drunk answers two questions:

1. Many ICE agents probably *are* just cosplaying vigilantes with issues; and

2. Many think claiming to be ICE means they can disobey laws.

Divorced, whiny ICE goon gets arrested for driving drunk with his kids in the car.

He acts like he’s above the law, stating, “I’m Federal.” He also confronts one of the arresting officers, asking, “Are you Haitian?” And makes a big deal out of getting an answer because, "It does matter!"

Don’t forget to take photos of the most original and creative signs at No Kings that people made and submit them in a reply for entry in my ‘Top 15 Signs of No Kings’. The ones that made the cut from the last two were amazing.

Sorry, my mistake. The signs that Soros made for us.

A Christianity that believes it needs a president, legislation and a government to ensure its survival is a Christianity that is centered on the worship of its own power rather than faithfully relying on the power of God.

God is just its mascot for its political ideology

New rule. If Congress doesn’t work, they don’t get paid.

Who thinks that sounds good? ✋

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 74 out of the last 86 days.

The people running this country have zero respect for the Constitution, laws, rules of ethics and professional responsibility, traditions or norms. They are lawless gangsters drunk on power and nobody in their party outside the admin has the courage or integrity to stop them.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.

I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.
