Let’s discuss the merits of deportation on an LSD conviction, especially under these circumstances. It’s not heroin, and this is 2025, not the 1980s.

Why do you think Nobel Peace Prize winner Machado—who was recognized by the Nobel Committee for fighting to promote democracy in her poor and oppressed country—is flattering Trump? Real question.

Not sure what you’re taking exception to. Machado herself says she spoke with Trump. It’s not CNN’s assertion (she said so in an interview with El Pais).

Machado says she dedicated the Peace Prize to the people of Venezuela and to Trump, presumably in an excessively diplomatic gesture.

A local may have reported that Portland police were pushing back on ICE, but that doesn’t seem to be what’s shown in this video.

Are ICE officers women?

Radicalized right wing terrorism is the greatest threat to this nation.

This story has not gotten enough attention in the national media. This white boy was radicalized by Charlie Kirk and killed two girls for disparaging his name.

Are ICE thugs called “ma’am”? This guy is obviously talking to a woman.
