Trump deported Iranian Christians with open asylum claims for religious persecution four weeks ago.

He expelled other Iranian Christians, including children, to Panama in February.

President Trump can get to Jeffery Epstein in one hop

Off the top of my head, in terms of degrees of separation I managed to get from myself to *Jimi Hendrix* in "three hops," this is a WILD assertion to make

www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Several lawmakers said Thursday that the Pentagon relayed that it did not need to know the identities of those being targeted in the attacks, or if those killed had been trafficking drugs.

“What they told us is they have to show a connection to a designated terrorist organization or their affiliate, and as long as they can show that connection, they believe they are authorized to strike,” Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-California) said in an interview.

But such connections could be as much as “three hops away” from a known drug trafficker, Jacobs told reporters after the briefing.

Americans are cutting back on groceries, paying more for health care, and stretching every dollar. Yet, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is using taxpayer dollars to buy $170M in luxury jets. Americans shouldn’t have to watch government officials live by a different standard.

Weeks after Jeffrey Epstein died in federal custody in 2019 awaiting prosecution on sex-trafficking charges, JPMorgan Chase filed a report alerting the U.S. government over $1 billion of potentially suspicious transactions involving him and prominent Wall Street and business figures.

This might actually be THE point where Christian Nationalism starts either splintering...or the NAR literally just joins with Christian Identity and REALLY returns to its roots

(I'd have thought the SBC/NAR widening split would have been the fissure, but a neo-Nazi/NAR split has been growing)

I’m sharing this again because Alma still hasn’t been released, and neither has Rodney Taylor.

ICE is targeting disabled people and counting on society not caring because they see us as expendable.

They also grabbed and dragged a disabled blind man in Portland last week.

Disabled People are Being Mistreated in ICE Detention Facilities

Why is no one talking about it? Where's the media? Where's the public outcry? Another example of the pervasive nature of ableism and how society views disabled people as expendable.

The story of Alma Bowman, a disabled woman and US citizen detained by ICE, keeps getting worse

She’s been in the country for 50 years. They took her wheelchair, denied her medications & threw her in a detention facility in Georgia

Did you know she was a whistle blower against forced sterilization?

Day 24 of Emmanuel Garcia being in federal custody.

He’s a 15 year old autistic boy who went missing 4 weeks ago. Houston PD found him, contacted ICE & his Mom is fighting to get him back

She’s not allowed to visit him.

They’re keeping a disabled kid from his family & the media is largely silent

I found this piece sad too, but mostly because it is part of a years-long effort by progressives to understand what "really" animates Trump voters.

We already know! It is racism, misogyny and misinformation. I know that sounds condescending or whatever but it's simply what all evidence suggests.

The basis for the accusation is reporting by propublica and other outlets that Kristi’s claim that ONLY criminals and “ illegal” immigrants are being detained is FALSE, when in fact over 170 US Citizens and immigrants with legal status are being detained on a daily basis. Isn’t that lying?

More than 70% of those detained have no criminal convictions.

170+ of those arrested or detained have been American citizens.
