The Big Ugly Bill Passed The House!

The BUB, as of this writing, would actually add about $30 billion to ICE's base budget through Sept. 30, 2029, with another $45 billion for detention centers.

A network of detention and deportation camps? Who else had that?

ICE budget now bigger than most of the world's militaries

Donald Trump wants to inject $150 billion into his immigration crackdown over the next four years.

In a nutshell, yes!
One could also add that they want to go back to a time when women weren't being bothered by the voting process. Frat House Brothers will just run everything.

Yes, rinse and repeat!

I had a 1st cousin who lived in the Nagasaki Prefecture for 28 years. He died of some weird skin cancer. Nagasaki was hit by a little bomb compared to the weapons of today!
All out nuclear war would be a man made Younger Dryas. Reduced population/ animals /fauna. Long road?

For who? I have a book about Military Blunders. (Geoffrey Regan)
Basically, it all starts with a plan!

When I was in the Army, they taught us that if you see a nuclear flash, then "it's ass to the blast." Face down with weapon underneath. The weapon and dog tags would be protected by a corpse. LOL!

🚨 Every year, 700,000 Americans die who wouldn’t if U.S. policies matched Canada’s. Ten miles or a bus ride can mean decades of life lost. Inequality isn’t fate—it’s a choice, and its cost is funerals, trauma, and stolen futures.

Yes, the plan is to "keep the lights on at the top."
( At least for a while. )

Every wannabe king forgets the same lesson: Americans don’t kneel. The weak call it chaos. The strong call it a wake-up call. The Constitution doesn’t need worshippers. It needs warriors.🔥👇

What happens if feds refuse to follow court orders? Experts speak on arrests, crowd control tactics

Video appears to show federal agents deploying tear gas against the public in Albany Park without any audible warning - something that is unlawful under a court order from last week.

It is more than likely there will be many more reports of substandard policing from ICE &BP. Rapidly expanding with poor leadership will lead to basic thuggery. The money is flush check out below.

DHS is rapidly expanding. They have the additional funding because the Big Ugly Bill provided over $29 billion to it's budget.

They will steadily increase their ranks. Watching the command and control at different facilities, it is clear they are undisciplined.

Column: Do we really want armed 18-year-olds on ICE raids?

In its rush to expand, ICE is placing immigrants, citizens and its own agents in harm’s way, immigration attorney Raul A. Reyes writes in an LA Times column.

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation—the ocean system that stabilizes Earth’s climate—is weakening as global warming melts Greenland and freshens the seas. Its collapse could flood coasts and trigger mass migration. Civilization hangs in the balance.

The Atlantic’s hidden heartbeat—the current that makes modern civilization possible—is slowing. The silence surrounding it may be the most dangerous quiet in human history.

( Not a Trump fan here! )

Someone should remind Trump that he gave unlimited resources to Israel, and then he got peace!
Then, merely give the suggestion to Trump that his plan worked so wonderfully in Isreal that he should duplicate that by giving unlimited resources to Ukraine. Gramps will bite!

Narcissism meets dementia and then meets chronic health disorders. = Crazy jumbled strange statements!

It will come down to what Miller tells Trump. Or the most recent person on the phone? Zelensky should just keep calling and buttering up gramps!

Months??? I would guess she has been engaging/working with the FSB for quite a while.

jakey762.bsky.social @jakey762.bsky.social · 2d

She was a good rep for a while.

Give someone a promotion and a little bit of success and watch what they do with it. She didn't handle herself well.
We already have enough bullies with the Republicans/MAGA movement! ( Please don't reply with some what-about-ism. )

Just think about a 1895 university freshman blowout course? What the hell would that have been like???

The bigger legal battle with Trump is in the Federal Court.
If the "local police" are seen arresting protesters. This gives the State of Illinois in court the ability to deny the Trump administration's claim of out of control mahem.
Most ppl charged during protests have charges dropped anyway. Chill

A small number of demonstrators attempted to protest/march in the street.

Massive number of ISP troopers in riot gear responded by blocking 25th, threatening arrest, shouting into megaphone about an unlawful assembly.
