Think of the 3.5 percent goal, or 11.5 million people, as the political equivalent of the four-minute mile. It might seem impossible, but it’s actually quite possible.

The Trump Administration must stop their deployment of dangerous chemical weapons into the air of peaceful American communities.

People are being tackled, people getting pepper sprayed or tear gassed. People getting threatened. And we've seen at least two incidents involving gunfire.

This administration overall seems more interested in heightening the tensions instead of trying to ramp them down.

a lovely Brazilian man, an electrician, kidnapped by ICE & kept in a cell 4 mos treated so awfully that he self-deported after lawyers gave up & court appearances failed on technicalities—now wants to change his name bkz hearing it brings back the cruelty of the guards calling his name.

Seth Abramson @sethabramson.bsky.social · 19h

ICE is thoroughly un-American.

Don't you want to know—as I do—how many of these armed, masked, warrantless, insignia-less, nameless, essentially untrained Big Government goons are Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters and other J6 runoff? apnews.com/article/immi...
