ICE officers slipping on ice while trying to terrorize communities is the most accurate metaphor imaginable. No balance. No footing. No moral ground. Just cruelty, incompetence, and gravity doing its thing.

They become a law unto themselves.
ICE is now the largest Federal agency free from oversight and accountability. Are we surprised that they are shooting civilians in the streets?

JD Vance, who, speaking from the White House podium on Thursday, puffed his chest and said: “Ramming an ICE officer with your car, that’s what justifies being shot.”

Trump says he will force Venezuela to hand over millions of barrels of sanctioned oil, which the U.S. will sell off under his control.

Hello? This is naked extortion of a sovereign country. It’s far past time for Congress to grow a spine and rein in our tinpot dictator.

On his first day in office, Zohran Mamdani revived the Mayor's Office to Protect Tenants and intervened in a major slumlord bankruptcy case on tenants' behalf.

Mamdani and his team are showing the country what real economic justice looks like. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/tCkZ1jszYcQ

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
