In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org

Decades ago they joked that there was no more dangerous place to stand in Washington DC than right between Chuck Schumer and a TV camera. But for some reason this schmuck can’t work up a press release for a Democratic member of Congress being persecuted by the president.

OTD in 1945, President Truman awarded the Medal of Honor to WWII Army medic Desmond Doss, the first conscientious objector to receive nation's highest award for military valor. Doss, who refused to carry a weapon, saved lives of 75-100 wounded men on Okinawa's "Hacksaw Ridge." Image: Public domain.
This color image shows President Harry S. Truman, wearing a gray suit and glasses, preparing to put the Medal of Honor around the neck of Corporal Desmond T. Doss, U.S. Army. Doss wears an Army uniform and has a mustache and dark hair.

The raid on Rep. Omar is a FIVE ALARM FIRE. Trump is weaponizing the federal government to go after an opposition leader and escalate his viciously racist campaign against Somali Americans. We stand with Ilhan.

Livestreaming executions is what dictatorships and terrorist groups do. It has no place in America. Secretary Hegseth and the Pentagon must reverse this grotesque decision at once.

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.

Some context to that whole "Mamdani and AOC were LAUGHING while the 9/11 victims' names were being read out" claim that has been sweeping across right-wing media and MAGA Twitter, from a former aide to Rudy Giuliani.
The videos of 
@NYCMayor
 and 
@AOC
 laughing are not true. I was standing next to them the whole time. The camera just caught her greeting him hello. Multiple other politicians were laughing and joking behind me. Republicans and Democrats.

And for the record I am a life long republican who has been very critical of these two. I’m just sick of this fake news and people just saying whatever they want.

The worst attack on this country since 9/11 was 1/6/21 and the surrounding attempts to steal an election, and Vance is totally complicit in that after the fact and in the current attempted destruction of this country. Him or Trump at Ground Zero is gross. p.s. Biden is smarter than him.

The situation in Haiti is terrifying. On Sunday, 150 gunmen swept down on a town to kill, rape, loot, and burn. 22 people were executed in a churchyard. 52 were taken hostage. Stephen Miller mockingly says Haiti is safe and ICE just sent its second deportation flight this month; with kids on board.
They arrived in silence, under cover of darkness, heavily armed as they surrounded the town and moved through Kenscoff’s rugged terrain and towering forests in the mountains above the Haitian capital. Numbering around 150, the gunmen swept through several locations as they made their way toward the center of the town, opening fire on resident who tried to flee. At least 13 people were shot and killed as the gunmen ran through downtown, according to an account by the United Nations human rights office. As more than 50 others sought refuge in L’Arche de la Nouvelle Alliance, a Protestant church that had been sheltering people already displaced by the violence, the gunmen pursued them. When they arrive, they forced residents from the church and executed 22 of them in its courtyard. A dozen others were killed behind the sanctuary. The attackers didn’t just stop there. Before withdrawing from downtown, an area encompassing City Hall and a Haiti National Police substation, they abducted at least 52 people, including a mother and her five children, as well as another mother and her infant. Children and elderly who could not run were killed inside their homes. Others were burned alive after gunmen set at least a dozen houses on fire, witnesses told the National Human Rights Defense Network. The attackers also shot horses and other livestock inside the rural enclave.
