The president who pardons a meth dealer wants us to believe he is stealing Venezuela from Venezuelans because he is so against dealing drugs, not because he's greedy to put oil money in a private Qatar bank.
June 2024: "Arkansas Congressman Steve Womack‘s [(R)] son James Phillip Womack was sentenced to eight years in prison after pleading guilty to distributing methamphetamine."

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.

I'd also consider using the ICE budget to to fund states streamlining automatic voter registration, universal ballot curing, etc. Fund states to build assets that can check the feds.

Canada needs to get in on this in a robust way, and show support for Greenland, Denmark, and other northern European allies, for two important reasons: 1) It's the right thing to do. 2) We could very well be next.

“We will not let ourselves be blackmailed… Sweden is now having intensive discussions with other EU countries, Norway, and the United Kingdom for a coordinated response.”

Not just here, but all over the world, people have actual problems to take care of and lives to lead, and they end up spending so much time and energy just dealing with the damage Trump needlessly causes every day. It's exhausting.
