Interests include history, esp. the Great War and the years surrounding it. War games of many types. An endless list of things fascinate me, but I have to work for a living, making my daily bread.
Funny how during Biden's term, these people howled for the release of the Epstein Files and full persecution of the bad guys.

Now there are so many excuses!
This stuff is indefensible.

These people are monsters.

Literal deep state.

I'm not sure which human beings are more despicable:
The humans that abuse others. esp. children
or
The humans who cover up their offenses.

Can we all agree that both types are disgusting?

Amen! Long overdue.
You folks do that, and we'll dump the bum in the White House.
Deal?

Proud Boy tactics: it takes a dozen of those big brave heroes to swarm a single unarmed citizen. Only brave in gangs.
Literally the scum of the earth.
(with apologies to pond scum)
Like Homans approach of going after only criminals. He lied. Keep your kids in hiding Minnesota and Arizona.
Ice is still armed to shoot us
This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here.

No, but Gaza still would.
If Kamala had been elected Minneapolis would not have been turned into a war zone where people are gunned down in the streets.

Why do you persist in trying to raise the dead?
The Dem party is long deceased.
You need a new party, of and by and for the Working American.
If Dems want new leadership, they won't push for it unless we push them to push for it. Call your Dem Senators every day: demand Schumer be removed from leadership.

How many more times will they let Chuck fail us? How many more people have to die before we have an opposition party?

That's some good whataboutism you got there.
What is NATO's reason for attempting to convince me of Putin's malevolence? #NATOlies

Every electronic tool/weapon can/will be countered.
If the right people with the right talents want to, that is.
And I think they do...
"The tool lets ICE populate a map with potential deportation targets, bring up dossiers on each person, and view an address “confidence score” based on data sourced from (HHS) and other government agencies."

Pointing the way to the easiest, most concentrated targets in a convenient app.

Here is the User Guide for ELITE, the Tool Palantir Made for ICE
404 Media is publishing a version of the user guide for ELITE, which lets ICE bring up dossiers on individual people and provides a “confidence score” of their address.

CrimethInc is right, as usual.
Donald Trump wants to distract you from what ICE is doing so badly that he permitted the release of millions of pages of Epstein files.

If that doesn't work, he'll go to war with Iran.

The Democrats are negotiating milquetoast "restrictions" on ICE.

But only grassroots resistance will save us.
Remember, WE HAVE NOT WON YET!

ICE is still kidnapping and terrorizing in the Twin Cities and all around the country.

Democrats are scheming to squander the advantage that Good and Pretti paid for with their lives.

All out to the Twin Cities!

Keep fighting! 🏴

A new definition of Dems doing the ABSOLUTE LEAST POSSIBLE.
The Dems are a dead party. Everywhere they show up it stinks of rot.
We need a Workers Party NOW!
Can’t wait for Monday when the House decides if they’ll think about reining in ICE as Dems have apparently discovered their own vertebrae after the MN ICE murders.

We’ll stay tuned to see if the circus that is the House of Reps decides slaying civilians and terrorizing communities is acceptable.🖕🧊

It is UNACCEPTABLE that anu of us have to deal with this cruelty and evil every day.
Did you vote for this?
I know I didn't.
Her first grade student looked out the classroom window to see ICE entering his family's apartment.

He didn't know if he would have anyone to come pick him up!

Feel it.
Feel it!
Do something!

Do not be silent.

Sounds like a good plan to me. I'm hoping the Tukwila People would rent to me if I promised to be a good, respectful renter.
If we Europeans treated the USA the way the USA treats Ukraine, then we would meet with representatives of the First Nations in Brussels and negotiate the return of the land we occupied in the 17th century, and as a sign of goodwill, the Dutch would return New York to the Lenape Nation.

Well, Trump is stupid and Putin is evil.
Dealing with them never ends well.
„Putin has fired his missiles, and the people of Ukraine are sitting in bitter cold and darkness. And now that everything is destroyed and the missiles are used up, he sells Trump on "not firing at cities for a week" as a great, benevolent gesture. It doesn't get more cynical than that.“

That's a fact, Jack.

A question for Trump or Bush or Teddy Roosevelt:

What right do you have to attack a sovereign nation?
The Justifications For War With Iran Keep Changing

First it's nukes, then it's conventional missiles, then it's protesters, now it's back to nukes again. Kinda seems like war with Iran is itself the objective, and they're just making up excuses to get there.

"reporter" is a boot licking shill
My friends, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is pure eloquence:
“To not protest in this moment would be a dereliction of duty.”

Perfection.

Nothing to add.👇

He's speaking from the rubble of another institution he destroyed. He really thinks everyone is stupid.
