the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

Too much value is placed on the Nobel Peace Prize. It means so little now that the people who deserve it never gets it. Instead, a zionist/neoliberal Trump supporter gets this year's award -- which she promptly dedicated to Trump so he can invade Venezuela for her.

The award has got too political.

Kelly: I really worry about those aviators, drone operators, special forces guys that are in the Caribbean right now striking these boats and whether or not this is legal..

There’s no authorization for the use of military force. The Congress has not given that to the president. He hasn’t asked.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

A swamp full of alligators has become ground zero for the US president’s immigration crackdown. The heat is unbearable and some say Trump’s policies are too.

The people who want violent protests to happen are Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, and other senior appointees in his admin. They are doing everything they possibly can to provoke people to violence and it is obvious that is what they hope for daily.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas [Heritage Foundation event] argued that precedent isn’t binding and judges shouldn’t automatically follow “stare decisis.” He urged judges to disregard prior rulings lacking a sound legal basis and to depart from unpersuasive or poorly reasoned precedent. 🤷🏻‍♀️
