Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

As the Trump admin deports people to countries where they have no ties, and may not even speak the language, can we have this at the sentencing of the MAGA idiots once they go to trial? Poetic Justice

So what billionaire is willing to put up the funds to tear down the trumpian “lgawdy “ball room” and restore the Eastwing as well as restore the rose garden? Sure, there may be updates needed but who enable the 🍊 🤡 to trample every rule and tradition to change OUR house into his outhouse?

Question: Is anyone keeping a running list of things which must be reversed, fixed, culled etc once the GrossOldPedophile party leaves power? Can we get, w/ a single presidential signature, the erasure of ICE? The restoration of public $ to social safety net programs, return SCIENCE back into govt?

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous. This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.
On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

1. On March 20, 2003, President George W. Bush began the bombing campaign in Iraq, justifying the attack with manipulated and bogus intelligence. Twenty-two years later, history is repeating itself. Let's review the facts.

Justice Sotomayor said it best: the conservative majority is “rewarding lawlessness.” Migrants are being deported—without notice or due process—to countries they’ve never even set foot in. This is what happens when the Court starts playing politics.

The image is a screenshot of a Google Maps view of Florida, USA, with handwritten text and annotations added. The map shows major cities such as Jacksonville, Daytona Beach, Orlando, Tampa, West Palm Beach, and Miami. Handwritten text includes "DEAR IRAN" with an arrow pointing to the Atlantic Ocean near West Palm Beach, and "He's on the golf course" written vertically along the left side. West Palm Beach is circled on the map. The image appears to be a humorous or satirical edit.
