I do not believe in god, but I do believe in natural spirit - the earth, the animals, everything that is given to us to live life. It cannot be stopped. It is all powerful unlike the people who claim dominion. It is here for us all. Find it and live in it.

The Dem Establishment and their corporate donors would rather see the country burn down than embrace actual reform and change.
History will judge Chuck Schumer as entirely ill-equipped for this moment. I try my best to see the good in our party leaders because I understand we're in uncharted territory, but it is beyond obvious he's the wrong person for the job.
The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally.

Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.

Trump is historically weak and negative double digits on every issue, and Dem leadership still veers towards the center and acts like timid, terrified deer in headlights.

Meanwhile in Russia: pundits rejoiced about Trump's approach to Greenland, which they surmised is "delivering a catastrophic blow to NATO" and is "truly tremendous for Russia."

A Latina woman goes to a hospital near Minneapolis and is put under guard by ICE and hospital staff.
When she tried to leave after an MRI, a nurse "pushed her back onto the MRI table."
Meanwhile, her pastor and attorney are told she isn't even a patient there.

These are concentration camps. And these are the numbers they're comfortable sharing.
This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

The old constitutional order is gone, and we should be straightforward about that. It’s obvious that, whatever else is on the reconstruction agenda, ICE abolition must be included.

JFC THE INCOMPETENCE

This isn’t shocking.

They use AI because they don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground.

This administration is a danger to absolutely every single person living on US soil, and I’d argue —globally.
As ICE was racing to add 10,000 new officers to its force, an AI error in how their applications were processed sent many new recruits into field offices without proper training.

The majority of the new applicants were flagged as law enforcement officers, but many had no experience.
ICE error meant some recruits were sent into field offices without proper training, sources say
An AI tool used to help ICE identify potential new recruits with law enforcement experience wrongly categorized some potential new officers, sources say.

It is. ICE agents are degenerate scum. They kidnapped a woman and threw her is a van drove off leaving her infant in the back seat with the car door left open. Luckily some people witnessed the assault and went to the car and got the baby to safety.

This is extraordinary.

They aren’t just kicking the ICE agents out.

They’re temporarily closing the hotel altogether due to “heightened safety concerns in St. Paul.”

The app ICE agents use taps into a master database of everyone in the US, citizens and non citizens alike. That means you and me in the system, our social media linked, searchable and treated as potential threats to the state. Yo, FUCK ICE!

This isn’t about deporting “the worst of the worst.” It’s about deliberately sowing fear and chaos in cities that oppose the Trump regime
