Korol is a US citizen. Her family hasn’t heard from her since she was taken, public charges haven’t been released—what crime did she even commit? 2nd-Degree Woodwinding?—and there has been no explanation for her “renditioning” across state lines.

We’ve moved into a new phase of Trump lawlessness.

A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR.

When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.

‘Taking us citizens out of state to detain them without charge is a new action from the Feds and should be opposed,’ her band said

@wyden.senate.gov @muellershewrote.com @aoc.bsky.social Please use your platforms to tell what is happening in Chicago. Feds are deliberately causing car crashes and creating scenes so they can tear gas and terrorize our communities. We are fighting back but the nation needs to be with us.

Workshopping a take that Roldan is poisted to be this cycle's Beckerman: a midfielder overlooked until about a year out who can comfortably raise the floor for the USMNT at a World Cup.

For a team with so many inconsistent players, the safe options can become invaluable.

We’ve got people desecrating the basilica of St. Peter now.

I’m sure this is in no way connected to the current Pope’s politics.

Man Urinates at St. Peter's Basilica Altar in Front of Crowd, Forcing Pope Leo to Order Purification: Reports

A man was allegedly caught on camera urinating on the Altar of the Confession at St. Peter’s Basilica while a crowd of hundreds watched, prompting Pope Leo to order a purification ceremony.

I don't think it would happen here for the same reason but it's funny to remember how economic mismanagement leading to chronic shortages of cooking oil is one of the major factors that sparked the massive protests that doomed Ceausescu.

George Pearkes @peark.es · 12h

"We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil" is an all-timer. Thank you Mr President, we appreciate your insights.

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

I believe that China purposefully not buying our Soybeans, and causing difficulty for our Soybean Farmers, is an Economically Hostile Act. We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil, and other elements of Trade, as retribution. As an example, we can easily produce Cooking Oil ourselves, we don’t need to purchase it from China.

Trump is no longer even pretending to have any kind of argument that his murdering of people in the Caribbean Sea has any kind of statutory validity. Just straight up declaring that he has quasi-unlimited power to execute people based on (nominal) suspicion.
