Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

NEW: Trump said last week that he “should have” ordered the National Guard to seize ballots during the 2020 election, but said he doesn’t know that they are “sophisticated enough in the ways of crooked Democrats.” The comments raise fears he will utilize the military in this year’s midterms.

The past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as “we can do that to whoever we want”
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

This might sound a little wild to some people, but I actually don't think it's a good thing that the senile, dementia-ravaged president of the United States believes in so many ridiculous lies that his basic grasp of reality is questionable.

I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

Israel has held 16-year-old American, Mohammed Ibrahim, without trial, for 9 months.

He has been denied contact with family & his health is deteriorating. He says he falsely confessed to throwing a rock after being beaten.

America needs to secure his release NOW.

NIH scientist Dr. Jenna Norton was just placed on nondisciplinary leave.

She led a team who wrote a sign-on letter critical of The Regime.

A person at NIH asked to give a reason for her leave called her “radical leftist”; while the NIH Director has claimed that “dissent is productive”.

There is a thought experiment game called the finger game. Two people put a finger in each other's mouth and bite down. If you cry out in pain they can remove their finger from your mouth but can keep on biting. The Democrats just cried out in pain.

I have never seen an American President so desperate to force children and seniors to go hungry.

Donald Trump is appealing a federal court's order requiring him to pay the full SNAP benefits for this month.

This is as ugly and cruel as it gets.
