Absolute buffoons. ICE is now just a bunch of roided up idiots with no training.

The New Republic @newrepublic.com · 8h

About 13 officers in a crowd of community members and protesters were exposed to the tear gas. This is the second time CPD officers have been gassed by ICE while trying to work with them.

The move violates a judge’s order telling federal agents to rein in excessive force. trib.al/TiKgLI5

Republicans veterans in Congress, Joint Chiefs Chair Dan Caine, and senior military officers continue to remain silent while Trump, Vance and Hegseth, week after week, give partisan political speeches to active duty troops.

It is a betrayal of their oath to the Constitution.

Judges are refusing to accept Justice Department attorneys’ explanations at face value and even telling them outright that the executive branch has forfeited its claim to presumed honesty.

Judges don’t trust DOJ anymore

WOW! Protesters created a HUGE human sign on San Francisco’s Ocean Beach reading “No Kings YES on 50” to support California’s Prop 50 and stand up against Donald Trump’s fascist regime

They need to lie and spin like this because when people rally AGAINST Trump, they are peaceful and considerate (see, e.g., today), but when they rally FOR Trump they are violent and smear their feces on walls (see, e.g., Jan 6).

What do you think made America great?

I’ve traveled the world, and every time I come home, I’m reminded of what makes this place special: the culture, the mix of people, the constant diversity. I love this country.

And I also know who truly hates America:

• The KKK
• 3 Percenters
• Proud Boys

And *this* is why the White House spent all week desperately--and stupidly--trying to undermine No Kings in advance. They had reason to be scared.
