We are all immigrants. Unless you came over on the Mayflower. I am an immigrant to Canada having grown up in the US. America was built by immigrants. Some people have forgotten that.

Homeland Security sent a memo to Congress to explain the moments leading to Alex Pretti's death.
In it they state people were told to get off the road. When they didn't they were sprayed with chemicals.
How does ICE have the authority to control the public right-of-way? They are not the police.

BREAKING Minn. Latest Killing: Feds claim person they killed had a gun. Even if true, that's not a crime. Indeed, this administration said repeatedly its 2d A protected activity. Agents would have to KNOW he had a gun and fear IMMINENT harm from it - that is yet to be established by any evidence.

Yet another example of the idiocy of the Supreme Court’s immunity opinion: If Trump invades Greenland, even for the most insane reason (like not winning the Nobel Peace Prize) and against our obvious national interest, it’s an “official act” that can never be held legally accountable

Yes. Surprise. Pope Leo says people should be treated with basic decency and respect.
Imagine that, MAGA. Follow the teachings of Christ. I know that's hard for you, but listen to the Pope.

There's a lot of talk about Trump "cancelling" elections.
Elections aren't something "coordinated" by the federal government. Elections are bottom up
Our whole government is bottom up: states conduct elections to field politicians that they send to the federal level to form a federal government.

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

Perfect pitch, Sarah. If you think this shooting was justified "go and iron your brown shirt"
I’m not going to sit quietly while people lie about this. Renee Good was kind. She was leaving. The sounds at the end are bullets being fired into her car from the side. Watch the video and stop pretending this was justified.

These congressmen want to give you the right to sue federal law enforcement for violating your rights
The proposed bills aim to codify a 1971 Supreme Court ruling that allowed individuals to sue the feds for Fourth Amendment violations.
