I am in Cap Haitien interviewing people deported from the United States. I have been doing this kind of work for almost a decade and it literally does not get more dire than this. People have lost everything they built in the U.S. and are terrified and have no place to go or way to live.

The FBI was ordered to investigate Californians exercising their First Amendment rights. Ordered by the Trump White House. And federal resources were diverted from cases involving drug trafficking and violent crime in order to further the administration’s cruel agenda.

there was a really amazing window in which many people who had never considered otherwise began thinking about the way race interfaced with all aspects of their social and material lives that sadly soon got undercut by the grifter motive of “making white people spend money to absolve their guilt“

Adding to this: it’s not just that the Constitution allows for impeachment; it COMMANDS it upon the commission of treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors by federal office holders. The word “shall” is a command, not a plea.

I ask again, why are national Dems letting Elon "quietly" fund these races? We have two test cases. 2024 when Dems didn't make his money an issue. And 2025 Wisconsin, where they did. Guess which time they won by double digits?

Photos of a legitimate burial could be ALTERED by THE TERRORISTS to inflame his followers and serve as a recruiting tool, which would mean more US soldiers might get harmed, so that means they were properly classified. And a court bought it and dismissed the case. But now we just air it live.

According to DOD, releasing them would create a risk to our national security. Not because there was anything wrong with the burial. Not because they showed any abuse or desecration that could inflame his followers. But because someone could PHOTOSHOP them to show abuse or desecration. Yeah.

So here's a factoid. Osama bin Laden was buried at sea. It was reportedly done in accordance with Muslim practice. The body was reportedly not desecrated or abused. Pictures and videos were taken. Someone FOIAed the pictures and videos, then sued. DOD said they were classified. But why??

This is a lie, and it's a lie they've been telling since the 1950s. They push the story that technology will give the white-collar populace 4 or even 3-day work weeks, but that never materializes. 5-day work weeks with exponentially greater output expectations does.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

This is an important point, but it’s not always true! There’s a reason GOP candidates are running from the issue. We’ve watched abortion win reelection for Kentucky’s Dem governor, flip an Alabama House seat, destroy the Virginia GOP in 2023–and beyond

Too many polls adopt a conservative framework that ask voters *when* the government should ban abortion, instead of *if* they should. When asked the latter, as voters were here, Americans’ answer is clear

The issue only gets more powerful for Dems over time—bc the longer we go without Roe, the more people are impacted by bans. It won’t be long before every single American has been harmed in some way—whether it’s a guy whose wife went septic or a woman forced to drive hours to find a maternity ward
