They've been going out of their way to be assholes. They want to provoke a violent response so they can justify even harsher measures.

JFC. What's their budget for vehicles? Does ICE just wreck one every time they want to arrest someone?

Abbe Lowell statement says facts of Bolton case "were investigated and resolved years ago.” Bolton, like many public officials, “kept diaries — that is not a crime.” They were "unclassified records that were shared only with his immediate family, and known to the F.B.I. as far back as 2021.”

Jeanine Pirro’s office tried three times to indict a woman on bogus felony charges of assaulting an ICE agent. A DC grand jury turned her down each time. So Pirro brought a misdemeanor charge instead. And now a trial jury has acquitted her of that. www.huffpost.com/entry/sidney...

Jeanine Pirro Strikes Out Yet Again In Federal Court

Prosecutor Jeanine Pirro failed to secure a felony indictment against the woman three times, then lost a jury trial on a misdemeanor charge. Ouch.

ICE admits up to 50% of those arrested in Chicago raids are “collateral.” That means parents torn from kids, neighbors ripped from homes. When does a “collateral” child’s trauma matter? This isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored terror.

Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally.

Print it.

THUNE: These premiums are going up a little bit b/c of the expiration of the enhanced tax credits

VITALI: I think people hearing their premiums are doubling don't feel that it's a little bit

Sanders: Saturday, millions of people are going to come out on a No Kings day. Speaker Johnson said this is a hate America rally because people are coming out expressing their concerns.. It’s not a hate America rally, it's a love America rally.
