If Congress doesn’t act, the last nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia will expire. It would pointlessly wipe out decades of diplomacy, and could spark another arms race that makes the world less safe. This piece is worth the read.

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.

Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.

The cruelty is endless.

The church and the GOP are in bed together and their goal is to protect pedophiles. That isn’t hyperbole, it’s the facts that we are watching play out before our eyes. If we allow it, then we are complicit in this evil. Period.
TPUSA supports Trump. It’s not shocking that Erika Kirk would support someone like Greg Laurie.

Why are detainees dying in ICE run concentration camps in unprecedented numbers? In part this may be because ICE, which has a massive budget, has simply stopped paying for any form of healthcare for those held in its custody.

The irony of ICE detaining and disappearing the original Americans should stop everyone cold.

As a Lakota proverb says, when you discover you’re riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. This system isn’t broken. It’s dead.

Heads up to gov employees:
Anonymity on Reddit is compromised.
With nothing more than a mere please & thank you from DHS, Reddit turned over user data on a yet unknown number of accounts.
That data is being used punitively at this time.
