Wilber was finally able to undergo surgery on Thursday—11 days after he was shot. “When ICE can shoot a man in the back and then barely give him any medical treatment and let him suffer, there’s a reason for that because we have gotten to a point where we see people as less than human.”

Austin man has surgery 11 days after being shot by ICE agent
The surgery on the Venezuelan national, who has been in custody since his Sept. 20 run-in with an immigration officer, removed the bullet lodged in his back.

How a US President should look when meeting a monster. Not in admiration, but with a spine.

Karoline Leavitt isn't "fierce"—she's dishonest. And Karoline Leavitt isn't "nimble"—she shamelessly dodges both questions and the truth. She is the same type strenuously unhelpful liar Trump has always had for his press secretaries.

We in the US, who have spent many decades bragging about our "checks and balances" which supposedly prevent just this from happening, will not be trusted again for a very long time. And that too is part of the wrecking-ball approach of, "If it can't be mine forever, no one will have it."

...bombed school children in a foreign country, actively cheered a genocide, caused a humanitarian crisis in Yemen, and directly caused food and fuel prices to go up due to getting us into an unprovoked war with Iran. Yep, everything I just typed is true.

The president is a rapist and war criminal who has covered up for pedophiles, terrorized the streets of American cities, used government to enrich himself, stolen voter registries, killed American citizens, deported legal citizens to foreign prisons, denied people due process of the law,

Federal immigration goons use their vehicles to confront a crowd of demonstrators protesting ICE in Tacoma, in what eyewitnesses say was an attempt by the suspected Feds to intimidate them. You can see the crowd stand their ground, and the goons drive off.

Hawaii enacted a law that could neuter Citizens United. Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum. Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live.

Imagine if Joe Biden had incoherently rambled about such irrelevancy at that famous debate in Atlanta. But, then again, everyone was expecting Biden to speak with carlity, intelligence, and authority. Donald isn't burdened with such expectations.

The image on the left is AI-generated. The misspelled seal, garbled lettering and other obvious flaws give it away. But what’s disturbing is how easy it is to believe based on Hegseth’s behavior.
