Dang. Donald Trump apparently is willing to do more to protect Iranians from violent security forces than Americans from ICE. Not sure how this fits into the America First thing.

You know, if you watch the Jan. 6 videos, then look at the Operation Midway Blitz videos, the behavior of the attackers looks pretty similar. I wonder if anyone has tracked how many pardoned J6ers have been hired by ICE or CBP?
It's been five years since Trump tried to overthrow the Constitution.
What unfolded over the five years that followed will be remembered as one of the greatest failures of American institutions in our history.

Our elected (GOP) leaders have demonstrated -- twice -- that they are not up to the task. It's time for the ICC to send a team to place him under arrest and charge him with war crimes.
We have to impeach him.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.
I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Wow. Pure exceptionalist propaganda. We don't conquer anybody? This country was founded by colonizers. Conquest is second nature to the U.S. Ask Indigenous tribes. Ask Mexico. Ask Iraq. Ask Venezuela. Etc.

A reminder what's at stake for the resistance. How long will we allow MAGA to continue? The Black Friday boycott is another moment to "galvanize our resources and our commitments" as Crenshaw says. When the dog barks, don't make deals to shut it up. Shut it up with an economic flex.
