ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?

ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.

I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

Sixteen years ago, the Supreme Court decided that corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Trump is an ignorant sociopath who does tremendous harm towards others.

While some think he does malice on purpose, I think the tougher truth is - he doesn't even notice.

His ignorance makes him lack any awareness of consequences.

& it's impossible to predict what it will lead him to do next.

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

Bipartisan negotiators released a DHS funding bill that does not significantly reduce ICE and CBP’s funding nor rein in the agencies’ abuses of power.

Make no mistake: Any Democrat who votes for this bill is complicit in Trump’s campaign of terror.

Grow a spine and vote no.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

The media should be pointing out that Trump is hypermanic & highly likely to be dementing.
Enough of this acting as if he's rational.

Federal agents abduct two teenagers (15 & 16) from a doctor's appointment

At one point, it appears an agent tases one of the children

I realize that the US is literally sliding toward institutionalized government terror against its own citizens, but can I take a second and ask my congress people @amyklobuchar.com what good it is to see all of the fees that Ticketmaster forces us to pay if we can't even buy the tickets? 1/4

Because of Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill,” the annual ICE budget — at $28 billion — is now larger than the annual budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Marshals Service and the Bureau of Prisons COMBINED.

No. The American people do not want Trump's domestic army.

Trump/GOP took your money, our tax payer dollars to pay for his ICE thuggery! ICE is terrorizing citizens throughout the nation, maiming & killing law abiding men, women, & children! Trump/GOP took our $ that was previously used to fund our schools, help reduce healthcare costs etc. & put into ICE!

Watch as ICE refuses to let a doctor render aid to Renee Nicole Good.
New footage provided to HuffPost of ICE Agents LITERALLY DENYING A PHYSICIAN ACCESS TO RENEE NICOLE GOOD, the woman they just shot in the face.

Can we go back to when people were just pissed at the government about being "forced" to get healthcare, instead of being fucking terrified of getting measles, e coli from unregulated lettuce, and not getting *any* healthcare after being shot in the fucking face by masked unidentified gunmen?!

Reporters who fact-check Trump to his face are not “stupid”, they are not “piggies”, and they are not “ugly”. They are doing their jobs, and doing it under pressure most of us will never experience.

We should be grateful for their service. I appreciate their courage now more than ever.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Thanks to Dr. Thomas for standing with Iowans facing huge health insurance premium hikes if Congress does nothing. This isn’t politics, it’s about real lives on the line. We need action, not a shutdown or more excuses from our Iowa representatives.

New rule. If Congress doesn’t work, they don’t get paid.

Who thinks that sounds good? ✋
Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 74 out of the last 86 days.

They have worked 12 days in 3 months.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

@dailybeanspod.com random question: usually convicted felons can't make money off their story-- so if the WH Felon decided to pardon convicted child sex trafficker Ghislane Maxwell, wouldn't that mean she could write a tell-all book and make a boatload of money off selling it and her entire story?
