Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

💙 All 20 living hostages held by Hamas in Gaza have now returned to Israel after more than two years’ captivity amid the war. Thank Goodness!

Even a broken clock is correct twice a day. The criminal with 34 felony convictions accidentally does good, but only when he gets credit.)

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

We covered this on today's @dailybeanspod.com. Extremely dangerous and these ICE agents should be charged with felonies.

PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police.

Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.

Australia's grid operator has a clear line of sight to 100% renewables. There's nothing unknown or exotic required.

It'll be fun when the first large/major economies start hitting the goal. Too bad the US is likely to be at the rear of the pack.

As coal fades, Australia looks to realize dream of 100% renewable…

Not true. When FDR signed Social Security Act on August 14, 1935, establishing a national system of old-age benefits, unemployment insurance, aid for dependent children and the disabled during Great Depression, akey part of his New Deal...every Dem prez has followed suit: Civil Rights Act, et al

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Legal experts condemn Apple bowing to White House's request to remove ICE tracking app

It's the latest example of tech giants bowing to pressure from the Trump administration. Legal experts say the developer of the app has free speech rights that may have been violated.
