BREAKING from PP

We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens*

The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied:

Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer

More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado

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...

ICE agents kidnapped a US citizen in Chicago because she didn’t “look” American to them. She even had her US passport on her. 🤬

She even had her U.S. passport on her.

Just an incredible opening to this NYT interview with Zohran Mamdani:

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/p...

You sit, according to the polls, on the cusp of a historic political victory. You would be the youngest mayor in a century. You’d be New York City’s first Muslim mayor. You’d be its first democratic socialist mayor.

I wouldn’t actually be the first democratic socialist mayor.

Who would it be?

David Dinkins was a member of D.S.A., he identified also as a democratic socialist.

Thank you for the correction.

Very welcome.

McConnell is so senile he had to step down from party leadership but is allowed to remain a US senator for some reason

ICE took someone at 47th and Western, after a reported raid at Swap o Rama. Their helicopter is just circling here, outside a Home Depot, as a crowd of frazzled community activists linger in the lot.

We're attending "No Kings" protests on Saturday because the Trump regime celebrates pro-kings day 24/7.

I'm speaking directly to the children and grandchildren of Carlos. Your dad, your grandpa...he's a coward. Just think, at one time he was a firefighter-paramedic and now he's a sniveling low-life doing and saying anything his dear leader wants. He's lost his spine, he's sold his soul.

“The 3.5% rule is a concept in political science that states that when 3.5% of the population of a country protest nonviolently against a government, that government is likely to fall from power.”

If you can get to a No Kings rally this Saturday, please do.

Ahh yes, always a good idea to absorb the thoughts of a concussed former QB who was 'good' because of the line in front of him and the featured players who he shared the ball with.

Troy is an insanely overrated player.

Not a chance, he's just being honest. Without people like Scooter, you don't eat. You don't pay rent, you don't have jobs.

What Scott is saying is that without people like him, the rest of us are NOTHING.

He should be haunted LONG after he's done in this administration. All of them should be embarrassed and shamed, dragged by decent society for their role in this.

One trial isn't enough. Pardons must be stripped from them. They should receive ZERO chance at redemption

He so scared, stammering fucking clown knows what's coming. He knows the people are aware and it's getting worse for him.

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.

The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.
